Assisted Operation – Wheelchair Transfer:
The HFL is designed for the seat to stop in the up position, twenty-one inches from the floor. This
height exceeds standard wheelchair seat height to allow for a gravity assisted transfer. NOTE:
Most wheelchairs will roll right up to the HFL’s seat on the most convenient side.
1.
Use one of the previously described procedures to recover the fallen person from the floor.
2.
Once the fallen person has been recovered and is seated on the HFL with the seat in its fully raised
position, determine which side is preferred for the transfer and place the wheelchair as close as
possible to the HFL’s seat.
3.
Engage the brakes on the wheelchair.
BEFORE TRANSFERING ANYONE FROM THE HFL TO A WHEEL CHAIR, ALWAYS
ENSURE THE BRAKES ON THE WHEELCHAIR ARE FULLY ENGAGED!
4.
Either raise the rise assist handle on the appropriate side and swing it rearward, or remove it
completely by removing the locking pin at the bottom of the handle then lifting the handle
upward. NOTE: If you remove the rise assist handle, temporarily place the handle and locking pin
in a safe location (where they will not interfere with the transfer).
5.
Using the wired remote, position the IndeeLift’s seat to be approximately one to two inches higher
than the wheelchair’s seat. This allows for a gravity-assisted transfer.
6.
Place the wired remote on the HFL’s upper handle then have the recovered person grasp the far
handle of the wheelchair and assist them if needed as they scoot themselves from the HFL’s seat
to a fully seated position on the wheelchair.
7.
Once the recovered person is safely in the wheelchair, disengage the wheelchair’s brakes
and move them away from the HFL
.
Before returning the HFL to its stored location, don’t forget to either swing the rise
assist handle back into position or – if you removed the handle -- replace it on the
appropriate side and secure it back in place with the locking pin. As previously
described, lower the HFL’s seat to a height of between six to eight inches from the
floor, (for easy transport back to its stored location).
