SLINGS
The slings come in various sizes, all rated at 385lb (175kg) weight capacity, which are color coded on
the sling edges as follows;
Extra Small - White
Small
- Yellow
Medium - Green
Large
- Red
Extra Large - Blue
The lifting straps of the sling should be adjusted so that each strap is as short as possible, giving the
best lift and the most maneuverability for the person.
The correctly adjusted sling should lift the person, in a seated position at lower chest height and not
above the shoulder height or at waist height. If there is a lot of slack in the straps when the sling
is connected to the ‘spreader bar’, they should be shortened. The slacker the straps are when
connected, the less the range of lift that can be achieved and the sling will also not offer as much
support.
The sling supplied with the Person Lift is determined during your initial assessment. However, if it
does not suit, or you have not had an assessment, please consult your Authorized Dealer.
When you wash your Person Lift Sling, you must remove the buckles and the webbing anchors –
failure to do so may result in damage to your washing machine. Your sling can be washed at up to
167°F (75°C).
