Safety Instructions
The Medline Series of full body patient lifts reflect innovative state of the art design
to increase user mobility. A Medline Lift will provide years of service if it is properly
maintained as any electric and/or mechanical equipment requires. Please pay careful attention
to the following important information regarding the care, maintenance, and operation of the
patient lift. Carefully read these instructions before assembling the lift, or attempting to lift a
user with the device.
Please Note
• Special care must be taken with users/patients who cannot themselves provide
assistance while being lifted. (i.e. patients who are comatose, spastic, agitated, or
otherwise severely handicapped.)
• The patient lift should be used solely for transferring a user/patient from one utility (beds,
chairs, toilets, etc.) to another. The patient lift should not be used for transporting or moving
any patient from one location to another location.
• During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the base of the lift in the
widest position.
• The base of the lift should be closed before moving the lift.
• Do not roll casters over any object while the user/patient is in the sling.
• Do not lock casters during lifting.
• While being lifted in a sling, always keep the user/patient centered over the base and facing
the caregiver operating the lifter.
• Never leave the user/patient unattended during lifting.
• Do not put anything (e.g. cushion, pad, etc.) between the resident and the sling. This may cause
the resident to slide out of the sling and cause injury.
The Medline Lift allows a person to be lifted and transferred safely, with minimum physical
effort provided by the caregiver. Before attempting to lift anyone, please practice operating the
lift. Also prior to actual lifting, explain the lifting procedure to the user/patient.
NEVER EXCEED SAFE WORKING LOAD CAPACITY!
