Warnings and Cautions
Do not wash under pressure. Do not wash slings with bleach. Bleach will damage material.
Note – Hydraulic Pump
1. Use pump to raise boom to position for lifting patient.
2. DO NOT lift up on end of boom to position for lifting patient
as this causes air to be drawn in under ram, preventing pump from lifting when handle is pumped.
3. DO NOT press down hard on handle when bottom of stroke is reached.
4. It is common occurrence after a few hours of non-use for the boom to lower with no weight suspended
from the end of the boom. This is not a faulty pump.
5. If trouble develops, please call Medline Industries, Inc.

Slings: Slings may become damaged during washing and drying. Always make sure you check your
slings before each use. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are dangerous and should not be
used. Altering slings is dangerous and may cause serious injury.
Warning!! After each laundering, inspect sling(s) thoroughly for wear, tears, and loose stitching.

Maintenance: Check all parts for shipping damages before using. In case of damage, DO NOT operate
patient lifter. Contact your local HME Dealer for further instructions.
The Medline Industries Inc. patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual
from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person suspended in a sling
over ANY distance is NOT recommended. The lifter is NOT designed for use as an equipment hoist.
NEVER use the lifter to lift or transfer anything other than a patient. This can result in damage to the lift.
Transferring: DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient's physician, nurse, or medical
attendant. Thoroughly read the instructions in the owner's manual, observe a trained team of experts
perform the lifting procedures, and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper
supervision.
Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST BE taken with people with disabilities who cannot
cooperate while being lifted. Use restraints only with physician's prescription.
Before moving a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise the patient
off the stationary object and check all sling hardware for secure attachment to include object (wheelchair,
commode or bed), slightly raise the patient off the stationary object and check all sling hardware for secure
attachment to include swivel bar and straps. If any attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct
the problem. Then raise the patient and check again.
While transferring the patient, keep the patient suspended in a sling attached to lift. DO NOT roll the caster
base over objects such as raised carpet bindings, doorframes, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that
would create an imbalance of the patient lift. This could cause the patient lift to tip over. Use steering
handles on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the patient lift.
DO NOT use any kid of material (such as a plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion) between the
patient and sling material. This may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during transferring
If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forward or
backwards.
