NOTE: Use the following method to easily move the patient and avoid strain to yourself.
WARNING
If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forward or
backwards.
1.The seat sling must be in position underneath the patient prior to use. Begin by placing the seat sling on the
surface from which the person will later be transferred. Place the side of the sling with the longer strap and buckles
along the front edge of the seat surface.
2.Position the patient onto the seat sling, using the split sling if necessary. Refer to the sections of this manual that
describe the correct usage of the split sling. The patient should now be in a sitting position on the edge of the bed or
in a chair, with the seat sling underneath the patient.
3. If transferring from a wheelchair, be sure the wheel locks of the wheelchair are locked to prevent movement of the
chair, and the foot rests should be swung out of the way or removed.
Attaching the seat sling to the Transfer Aid
NOTE: Refer to TRANSFER AID SAFETY SUMMARY in the front of this manual before proceeding
further and observe all WARNINGS indicated.
WARNING
Before lifting or transferring the patient, the base legs MUST be LOCKED in the OPEN position for
optimum stability and safety. Insure that the leg locking spring plunger is fully raised above the leg surface.
NOTE: Before positioning the legs of the patient transfer aid under a bed, make sure that the area is clear of
any obstructions.
4.With the legs of the base OPEN and LOCKED, and the arms OPEN, raise or lower the transfer aid to place the
arms at approximately the patient’s arm-pit height if transferring from a bed or chair, or just above the armrests if
transferring from a wheelchair.
5.Use the steering handlebar to push the transfer aid underneath the bed or wheelchair.
CAUTION: When transferring to/from a wheelchair, insure that the wheelchair’s foot-rests have been
removed or swung out of the way, and that the wheelchair’s front wheels are facing rearwards so as not to
interfere with the base of the transfer aid.
6.Place the patient’s feet on the transfer aid’s base, straddling the center column.
7.Attach fasteners A to the studs of each arm that are closest to the lift column. Attach sling fastener s C to the studs
at the tips of the arms. For standard transfers use the connections labeled C1 in Fig 1. To maximize the lifting
height, to transfer to high seat surfaces, use the connections attached to the blue straps labeled C2 in Fig 1.
