SECTION 3— OPERATION
 WARNING
DO NOT attempt to transfer a patient 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
performing the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with
proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
The legs of the stand up lift MUST be in the maximum open position for optimum stability and
safety. 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.
