Transfer
When moving the user, stand to the side of the
person you are lifting. Make sure that arms and
legs do not obstruct the seat, bed, etc.
1. Check that the sling is correctly fitted around
the user and that the strap loops are correctly
fitted to the suspension hooks.
2. Start lifting until the lifting straps are stretched
without lifting the user. Ensure that all four
loops of the sling are securely fastened to
avoid the user slipping or falling out of the
sling.
3. Lift user, and perform transfer.
Never lift the user higher than
necessary to carry out a lift.
Remember that wheels on a mobile
lift must NOT be locked.
Never leave a user unattended in a
lifting situation.
Be careful during movement, the user may swing
during turns, stops and starts. Be careful when
manoeuvring close to furniture to prevent the
suspended user from colliding with these objects.
The hoist should not be used to lift
or move users on sloping surfaces
Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven
surfaces or other obstacles that may block the
castors. The hoist may become unstable if forced
over such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping
over.
Lowering into sitting
When transferring the user into sitting, the follow-
ing techniques can be used for lowering the user
as far back into the seat as possible:
A Push gently on the users knees knees to steer
the user in towards the backrest of the chair.
B Tilt the seat backwards.
Do not lift with the guide
handles! Excessive force on the
handles can cause the sling to tear.
User must be facing lifter when
lifting or lowering from or into a
chair.
