Raise the resident by operating the hand control and move
the lift away from the chair. Carefully lift the positioning
handle until the resident is reclined in the sling with head
support. This is the most comfortable position for transfer,
as it reduces pressure on the thighs from the leg pieces. The
angle of recline can be adjusted for increased comfort if the
resident is uncomfortable.

normal chair height. This provides confidence, secure
feeling and improves the
Maxi Twin lift’s stability.

transferring from bed to chair.
When returning to a chair, make sure the lift legs are positioned
around the legs/wheels of the chair.

To position the resident over the chair, use the lift handles, do
NOT pull the sling. The resident suspended in sling should
always remain in the centre of gravity.

To avoid further lifting effort, push down on the positioning
handle to put the resident into a good sitting position. Do not to
push down too quickly, as this may jerk the resident’s head
forward.

If the hand control button is released during lifting
or lowering, the powered motion will stop
immediately.
