DO NOT attempt to transfer a patient without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse, or medical assistant.

If the patient is in a sling and it becomes necessary to move through a narrow passage, close the legs of the stand up lift only as long as it takes to move through the passage. When the stand up lift is through the passage, return the legs to the maximum open position.
