HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION
Ensure the hand grips and seams are on the outside and feed the sling down the back of the client, leaving the top of the commode aperture at the base of the spine. Check the sling is square at 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 and the position is comfortable. Move the hoist into position and attach the leg straps at the penultimate loop. Raise the hoist and attach the short loops at the shoulder to maintain an upright sitting position. The hoist may move towards the client as you do this. When reseating the client, the hand grips may be used to ensure good posture.
GOLDEN RULE: LONG IN THE LEG, SHORT IN THE SHOULDER
