1 .07 Use
If there is any doubt about the selection or use of a lifting
sling, please contact your supplier.
Important!
Plan the move. Never leaving the user in the lifting sling unat-
tended. Do not start to lift until it has been checked that the user
cannot get trapped and that the sling does not catch on the bed,
wheelchair or other obstacles. The user’s head, arms, hands and
feet must not be in danger of becoming trapped. Be careful with
any tubes and wires that are attached to the user and/or equip-
ment. Check that the hand control and hand control cable is free
of hanger, patient and other object before the hoist is activated up
or down moved.
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incor-
rect use of the lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention
on the part of the carer or user. If the sling is used in combination
with products that are not manufac-tured by Guldmann, a risk as-
sessment must be made by qualified staff.
