WARNING: Patient lift may tip over if used incorrectly. Read and adhere to the operating
instructions prior to lifting anyone.
WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. strongly recommends that two caregivers take part
in the lifting process.
WARNING: When transferring a patient, always keep the patient centered over the base.
WARNING: Ensure that lifting sling loops are correctly attached to the hooks to prevent
the patient from sliding or falling out of the sling, which could result in personal injury.
Never use the patient lift to lift or transfer anything other than a person.
WARNING: Do not lock the brakes or block the wheels when lifting. The casters must
be FREE to roll to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted
from a chair, bed, or any stationary object.
WARNING: Do not attempt to maneuver the lift by pushing on the mast, boom, actuator,
or patient. Always maneuver the lift with the handle.
WARNING: During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the patient lift
legs in the maximum open position.
WARNING: To facilitate movement, close patient lift legs before moving the lift.
WARNING: Replace any worn or broken parts immediately! Torn, cut, frayed, or broken
slings can fail, resulting in serious personal injury. Use only slings that are in good
condition.
WARNING: Use extreme care, caution, and common sense when utilizing a patient lift.
Special attention must be given to patients who are disoriented and cannot cooperate
while being lifted, such as comatose, agitated, spastic, or mentally confused persons.
Consult their healthcare professional for assistance in lifting these types of patients.
