Intended Use
For internal use only.
The Mobile Hoist is a lifting aid used by trained personnel. The Mobile Hoist makes it possible to transfer/lift mobility
impaired clients with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort to
the client.
The Mobile Hoist is one of two components that makes this possible. The other component, the sling, is a specially designed
fabric accessory that attaches to the Hoist by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds the client during the lift/transfer.
Please refer to the user guides supplied with the sling and reference them while reviewing this manual.
The functions of raising and lowering the boom, are accomplished by pressing buttons on the hand control. The opening and
closing of the legs on the Mobile Hoist are of manual operation.
