4. Flip up the Seat Pads so the user can occupy the Swift Patient Mover.
5. The user’s feet should be positioned on the footplate. The user should then grasp
the hand rail. Using the assistance from the handrail, the user should now be able
to stand and push the front of their lower legs against the knee pad.
6. Once the user is fully stood, the Seat Pads should be lowered so that the user can
perch on them. Once the user is secure, release the castor brakes by pushing up
on the locking tab. The carer can then move the Swift Patient Mover using the
push handles as shown below.

After assembling the patient mover these checks should be completed prior to
initial use:
1. Check the seat pads are secure and rotate back and forth for safe transfers.
2. Check that locking castors engage and disengage.
3. Check that the leg mechanism works correctly by pressing on the foot pedals.
4. If using a sling, ensure the clip attachment is securely mounted to the locking pin
on the frame.
