15)
Double check the sling loop connection to the hanger bar hooks to make
sure the sling is securely attached with the loops in the bottom of the hanger
bar hooks.
16)
Leaving the caster brakes unlocked, lift the patient until his or her feet are
at the top of the base of the lift and,
slowly turning the lift, move the patient
to the desired location. Leaving the brakes unlocked will allow the lift to “walk
forward” to center itself over the patient’s center of gravity as it raises. This
increases the stability of the lift. The only time the brakes should be locked is if
the patient is being lifted from a ramp or some other sloping surface.
17)
Raise the lift, if needed, so the patient will be about 2 inches above the bed, wheelchair
seat, etc.
18)
Push the lift forward until the patient’s buttocks are positioned correctly over the bed or
at the back of the wheelchair or chair seat.
19)
Lower the patient until the shoulder and leg loops are loose.
20)
Unhook the sling loops from the hanger bar hooks.
21)
Back the lift away and remove the sling.
22)
Make sure the patient is safely positioned before removing the VANDER-LIFT II™ and
sling from the room.
