LIFTING
Note:
The lifting situation must always be planned, and it must be ensured that the user
feels secure when being lifted in the sling.
Lifting from a sitting position:
1)
Place the sling behind the user's back with the
coloured loop by the label indicating the centre
line. The centre line must be aligned with the
user's spine.
2)
Push your hand down into the positioning
pocket and push the sling as far as possible
beneath the user's lower back.
3)
Place the sling's leg supports alongside the
user's legs and carefully feed the leg straps
underneath the legs.
Note:
Make sure you do not pull on the straps
when placing them underneath the user's
legs. It can help the procedure to place the
user's feet on a footstool or by using a slider.
4)
Cross the short, coloured strap over the lifting
strap on the opposite side. (A)
Next cross the straps from the legs supports
with the leg straps from the insides of the thigh
(B).
5)
Attach the sling straps to the hook on the
spreader bar. See page 7 of the instructions.
6)
Now carefully lift the user. Once the straps are
straightened out, the sling can be straightened
so that it is positioned correctly.
