WARNING

SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.

Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the Dealer for further instructions.

The Invacare 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.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this 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 and a capable individual acting as a patient.

Invacare Stand Assist and Transfer slings are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s patient lift system. Use of these products is prohibited and will void the lift’s warranty. Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual that is being lifted.

Weight Limitation

DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for the Reliant 440 Patient Lift is 440 lbs.

Assembling the Lift

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

Using the Sling

Individuals that use the Stand Assist Sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight, otherwise injury may occur.

Stand Assist Slings: DO NOT use the stand assist sling in combination with the patient 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 stand assist sling in combination with the patient lift over ANY distance is NOT recommended.
