WARNING

Invacare slings and patient lift accessories 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 lift system.

Use of these products is prohibited and will void Invacare’s patient lift warranty.

Use only genuine Invacare slings and patient lift accessories to maintain patient safety and product utility.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).

1.Attach sling straps to the swivel bar. For proper attachment instructions refer to the Sling Owner's Manual - Part No. 1023891.

NOTE: For improved accuracy on the 450 and 600 Reliant lifts, attach all sling straps to the center hooks on both sides of the swivel bar. However, patient comfort may require a different configuration of sling straps.

2.Press the ON/OFF key.

NOTE: The display will indicate the last weight that was measured. The word "LOCK" will be seen in the display box.

NOTE: The ZERO key is pressed in order to avoid capturing the weight of the sling and the hardware. If the ZERO key is not pressed the weight of the sling and the weight of the hardware will be included in the weight displayed. NOT ZERO-ING OUT WILL GIVE A FALSE READING OF THE USER'S TRUE WEIGHT.

3.Press the ZERO key. When the ZERO key is pushed the following will happen:

A.The scale will reset to zero and the word "ZERO" will appear in the display.

B.The lock function will then be turned off and the word "LOCK" will disappear from the display.

NOTE: The scale is now active and continually updating the weight display.

4.Place the patient in the sling. For patient placement instructions refer to the Sling Owner's Manual - Part No. 1023891.

WARNING

When elevated a few inches off the surface of a stationary object (bed, chair or commode) and before moving the patient, check to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

5.Activate the lift mechanism to raise the patient until they are completely supported by the lift.
