14)
Leaving the caster brakes unlocked, lift the patient about 2 inches off of the bed or
stretcher and back the VANDER-LIFT II™ away. Leaving the brakes unlocked will allow
the lift to “walk forward” to center itself over the patient’s center of gravity as it raises.
This increases the stability of the lift. The only time the brakes should be locked is if the
patient is being lifted from a ramp or some other sloping surface.
15)
When the patient is away from the bed or stretcher, lower the patient so his or her feet
are at the top of the base of the lift and,
slowly turning the lift, move the patient
to the desired location.
16)
Raise the lift, if needed, so the patient will be about 2 inches above the bed, wheelchair
seat, etc.
17)
Push the lift forward until the patient’s buttocks are positioned correctly over the bed or
at the back of the wheelchair or chair seat.
18)
Lower the patient until the shoulder and leg loops are loose.
19)
Unhook the sling loops from the hanger bar hooks.
20)
Back the lift away from the wheelchair, chair, etc. and remove the sling.
21)
Make sure the patient is safely positioned before removing the VANDER-LIFT II™ and
sling from the room.
