button to lift the user, check again that all the straps remain correctly

From a chair, wheelchair or other sitting positions
Place lifting sling behind user’s back e.g. between the back of the chair and
the user’s back.
The center band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine. As for the
slings type Active, the strap showing the size of the sling should be opposite
the spine. Bring the leg straps along the outer thigh and then under the thigh
between the back of the knee and the hip.
Now cross the leg straps in front of the user.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.
Lying position in bed, on a mattress or on the floor
Turn the user on his side. Place the high back sling so that its upper edge
is flush with the top of the user’s head. Put the sling on the user so that the
center band follows the spine. Turn the user on his back and pull the sling
out. Bring the leg straps under the thigh and cross them over.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.
If in doubt about how to use the sling, please contact your supplier.
Guldmann cannot be held responsible for any faults or accidents that may
occur due to incorrect positioning of the lifting hanger, or for reasons of inade-
quate attention paid by helpers or the user.
