Transfer
Try to position the user as low as possible
(preferably resting the feet on the chassis) when
transferring the lifter with a suspended user. In this
way the centre of gravity will be low and reduce
the risk of instability.
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 suspended 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 lifter shall 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 cas-
tors. The lifter 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 when lowering the
user as far back into the seat as possible:
A Position the user with the help of the guide
handle
B Push gently on the users knees
C Tilt the seat backwards
User must be facing lifter when
lifting or lowering from or into a
chair.
