WARNING

STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the standing sling in combination with the stand-up lift as 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 using the standing sling in combination with the stand-up lift over any distance is not recommended.

During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand-up lift over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the stand-up lift and could cause the stand-up lift to tip over. Use push handle on the mast at all times to push or pull the stand-up lift.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.2.

1.Using the push handle, slowly move the patient to the desired surface.

2.Refer to Transferring to on page 23 before lowering the patient onto the desired surface.
