NOTE: Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case.

Positioning the Lift

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.1.

NOTE: Refer to General Guidelines on page 9 in this manual before proceeding further and observe all warnings indicated.

NOTE: Before positioning the legs of the patient lift under a bed, make sure that the area is clear of any obstructions.

WARNING

The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle locked in place for optimum stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to the maximum open position and lock the shifter handle immediately.

1.With the legs of the base open and locked, use the steering handle to push the patient lift into position.

2.Lower the patient lift for easy attachment of the sling.
