in contact with the individual in the sling.

from the individual and stored in a safe place until next use.

The lift can now be removed from track, relocated to another track, or stored in a safe place
until next use. It is recommended that the lift be charged when not in operation. Refer to the section titled

Caution: Always use extreme care when removing the lift from the track. Lower the lift such that it is
securely resting on a stable support object such as a dresser, cart or table prior to removal. This may
be performed by either of the following methods:
1) Lower the lift so that the top of the P
-
440 is just below the surface of the support then lift the P
-
440 onto it or;
2) Lower the P
-
440 on the support then with your spare hand apply gentle tension to the lifting strap
to keep it taut while operating the down function with the other hand, noting this does not require
force or lifting the P

440
Use extreme care when re
-
locating the lift. Be sure it is securely held during transport.
Step 5)
The individual may now be raised with the use of the UP button on the hand control or front panel but-
ton. While lifting is in progress the height required in order for the transfer to be completed should be closely ob-
served. Ensure that the individual being lifted will not be injured by any obstructions during the initial lifting.
