WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. strongly recommends that two caregivers take part
in the lifting process.
WARNING: When transferring a patient, always keep the patient centered over the base.
WARNING: Ensure that lifting sling loops are correctly attached to the hooks to prevent
the patient from sliding or falling out of the sling, which could result in personal injury.
Never use the patient lift to lift or transfer anything other than a person.
WARNING: Do not put anything (e.g. cushion, pad, etc.) between the user and the sling.
This could cause user to slide out of the sling and result in personal injury.
WARNING: Do not lock the brakes or block the wheels when lifting. The casters must be
FREE to roll to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted
from a chair, bed, or any stationary object.
WARNING: Do not roll casters over any object while the user is in the sling.
WARNING: Do not attempt to maneuver the lift by pushing on the mast, boom, actuator,
or patient. Always maneuver the lift with the handle.
WARNING: During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the patient lift legs
in the maximum open position.
WARNING: To facilitate movement, close patient lift legs before moving the lift.
WARNING: Replace any worn or broken parts immediately! Torn, cut, frayed, or broken
slings can fail, resulting in serious personal injury. Use only slings that are in good
condition.
WARNING: Use extreme care, caution, and common sense when utilizing a patient lift.
Special attention must be given to patients who are disoriented and cannot cooperate
while being lifted, such as comatose, agitated, spastic, or mentally confused persons.
Consult their healthcare professional for assistance in lifting these types of patients.
WARNING: The electronics and actuator contain no serviceable components. If service
is required, the unit must be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to
open the electronics or actuator or obtain local service; this will void the warranty and
could result in damage to the unit. Consult your Graham-Field Distributor for further
information.
WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. specically disclaims responsibility for any bodily
injury or property damage which may occur during any use which does not comply with
federal, state or local laws or ordinances.
