3.
Offer the patient your hand and gently tilt them up to a seated position on the center of the
HFL’s seat.
If needed, assist the patient to be positioned in the center of the seat, as far back
on the seat as possible, (so
their back is resting on the HFL’s vertical frame).
4.
Once the patient is fully seated to the rear of the HFL’s seat, ask the patient to lift their arms
slightly and, using one of the belt assemblies as a waist belt (i.e., secured to the lower
anchor points), position the belt around the
patient’s
waist, buckle the seat belt and remove
any slack.
5.
Position yourself behind the HFL and ask the patient if they are ready to be lifted. Once they
are ready, press the up/down rocker switch upward and hold the switch in the up position.
The seat will rise for approximately sixty seconds and then stop.
6.
Once the lift has stopped, allow the patient to rest if needed, ensure the patient’s feet are
positioned properly for standing, unbuckle the seat belt then offer to assist the patient as
they stand up from the seat, (as they would from any chair).
NOTE: If the patient requires
transport (e.g., to a waiting gurney), utilize the
Patient Transport Procedure
starting on
page 12.
7.
Once the fallen patient has been recovered, return the seat to the fully downward (home)
position before rolling the HFL back to the fire apparatus.
NOTE: Always ensure there are no
foreign objects below the seat before returning it to the home position.
8.
If desired, the HFL can be used as a dolly to transport equipment/cargo or tools back to
the emergency apparatus. Load the gear on the HFL then raise the seat by
approximately 6” for proper balance,
place one foot on the stainless-steel footrest on
the back of the HFL. Slightly tilt the unit backwards by slowly pulling the handles
towards you. The HFL can now be pulled or pushed to back to the apparatus.
Note:
Some manual doors dictate the need to pull the HFL through from behind.
9.
Before stowing the HFL on the apparatus, stow the belt assemblies and return the HFL
to its fully stowed configuration by reversing the procedures for
Deploying the HFL
on
page 7.
