HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION
Make sure the hand grips and seams are on the outside of the sling. Feed the sling down the back of the patient, leaving the commode aperture at the base of the spine. Check the sling is square across the shoulders.
Pass strap C up through strap B then repeat for other leg using strap D through strap A.
Bring the longest leg piece stiffener forward so that it is parallel with the long bone of the thigh. Ensuring that the leg piece is not twisted, take the shortest leg piece stiffener under and up between the legs. Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Cross strap A through strap B.
Check the sling is smooth under the pateient and the position is comfortable. Move the hoist into position and attach the leg straps to the spreader bar using the coloured loops. This maintains the patient in an upright sitting position. The lift may move towards the patient as you do this. When reseating the patient the hand grips may be used to ensure a good posture.
