!"#$%&'%
The patient can be lifted to the sitting position according instructions below:
L
CAUTION:
Risk of falling – Do not use handles for lifting! If there is an excessive
force on the handles the sling can be torn and the patient can fall out the sling.
1. If the patient is lifted from a wheelchair, apply the brakes of the wheelchair and
remove the arm supports.
2. When lifting a patient into a chair, try to position the patient as close as possible to
the backrest of the chair:
•
During lowering of the patient, tip the chair backwards with the tip cap.
When the patient is nearby the chair, let the patient slide down along
the backrest of the chair.
(Cover page, Fig 13)
•
Push gently under the knees of the patient. The patient backside can
be pushed to the backrest of the chair.
(Cover page, Fig 14)
•
The handles of the slings can be used to guide the patient to the
chair. Don't load the handles too heavy.
(Cover page, Fig 15)
3. Position the patient in the chair.
4. Remove the sling after moving to the chair. Sometimes it can be practical to leave the
sling in the chair. If the sling is left in the chair it is better to use the net polyester
sling.
5. Remove the legrests. Slightly lift the leg of the patient upwards and remove the
legrest from under the leg. Pull the legrest along the side frame of the chair.
