FIGURE 4.2 Lifting the Patient
Moving the Patient
 WARNING
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.
DO NOT, during transfer of a patient suspended in the lift sling, roll caster base over uneven sur-
faces that would create an imbalance of the lift. This could cause the lift to tip over. Use the mast
handle at all times to push or pull the lift.
