WARNING

STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the stand- ing sling in combination with the stand up lift as a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting sur- face to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person using the standing sling in combination with the stand up lift over ANY distance is NOT rec- ommended.

During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand up lift over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the stand up lift and could cause the stand up lift to tip over. Use push handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the stand up lift.

1.Using the push handle, move the stand up lift away from the surface.

WARNING

The legs of the stand up lift MUST be in the MAXIMUM OPEN position and the shifter handle LOCKED in place for optimum sta- bility and safety. If the patient is in a trans- port 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 PAS- SAGE. Once the stand up lift is through the passage, return the legs of the stand up lift to the MAXIMUM OPEN position and LOCK shifter handle IMMEDIATELY.

2.SLOWLY, move the patient to the desired surface.

3.Lower the patient onto the desired surface. Refer to TRANSFERRING TO in this manual.
