LIFTING THE PATIENT
5.1
Preparing the lift for use
5.1.1
Positioning the lift for use
I.
With the legs of the base open and locked, use the steering handle to push the
patient lift into position.
II.
Lower the patient lift for easy attachment of the sling.
WARNING
The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle
locked in place for optimum stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of
the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it
takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the
bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift
to the maximum open position and lock the shifter handle immediately.
5.1.2
Prepare the Sling at Lying Position
I.
Carefully and gently roll the patient on their side. The sling seat should be folded
lengthwise and placed under the patient so that the lower edge of the seat is
slightly below the back.
II.
Roll the patient back onto their other side and pull the sling seat so that it unfolds
under the
patient. Then pull the leg loops forward and under the patient’s thighs.
The loops should come through the patient’s legs. Then cross the loops.
III.
With the boom of the lift lowered, place the straps of the sling over hooks of the
swivel bar.
