Lead the leg straps along the outer sides of the user’s shins and beneath
the thighs between the hollow of the knees and the hip joints. Cross the leg
straps in front of the user.
All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling can now
be mounted on the lifting hanger.
Lifting to and from lying position in bed
Bring the lifting hanger over the centre of the person to be lifted. Place the
lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Turn the user onto his or her side. The Basic High sling should be placed so
that its top is at the same height as the top of the user’s head. Now position
the sling over the user so that the center marks follow the user’s spine. Turn
the user onto his or her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting
sling. Place the leg straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them. All four
lifting straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling can now be
mounted on the lifting hanger. It is an advantage to elevate the head of the
bed so that the user is sitting up.
For further information, please refer to the user manual for the lifting sling in
question.
Important!
Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding the use of
lifting equipment and fitting of slings should use the hoist.
Plan the move. Avoid leaving the user in the lifting sling unattended.
The hoist lifts quickly and powerfully. Before lifting, check that the user is
completely free of his/her surroundings. 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. The user should not hold the lifting
strap during the moving procedure as there is a risk of crushing between
the strap’s hook and the hoist. 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.
If the hoist is used correctly, the user should only be lifted to the extent that
she/he is clear of the surface and should be moved at this height.
