Assisted Operation – Mount Assist Procedure:
When assisting a fallen person that has difficulty scooting backwards onto the mounting ramp seat,
you can use this procedure to assist them onto the HFL.
1.
Ensure the HFL’s seat is in the fully downward position, then remove one of the rise assist
handles by removing the locking pin then lifting the handle upward.
2.
With the fallen person laying down on the floor, position the HFL behind them and position
their legs as far forward as possible, (to form an “L” shape).
3.
Move the HFL to the fallen person and place the edge of the seat, (that no longer has the
rise assist handle), as close to the fallen person’s buttocks as possible.
4.
Position yourself on the other side of the HFL’s seat and offer the fallen person your hand, then
gently tilt them up to a seated position on the center of the HFL’s seat. If needed, assist the
person to be positioned in the center of the seat, as far back on the seat as possible, (with their
back resting on the HFL’s vertical frame).
5.
Once the fallen person is fully seated in the center and to the rear of the HFL’s seat, replace the
rise assist handle by lowering it back into position on the HFL, then secure the handle to the HFL
by replacing the locking pin.
6.
Have the fallen person place their hands on the rise assist handles and let them know you are
about to raise the seat. When they are ready, press and hold the up button, as indicated by the
arrow on the wired remote. The seat will rise for approximately one minute, then automatically
stop.
7.
Once the lift has stopped, allow the person to rest if needed. Then place the wired remote on
the upper transport handle, ensure their feet are positioned properly for standing, then offer
to assist them as they stand up from the seat, (as they would from any chair).
REMINDER: When using the HFL for assisted operation, we recommend the seat be lowered to a height
of six to eight inches from the floor after each use, (for easier transport the next time it is needed).
