ATTACHING THE SLING HARDWARE
Attaching the Chains or Adjustable Straps
to the Sling (FIGURES 2A and 2B)
CAUTION
When using either the chains or straps to
connect the sling to the patient lift, the
shortest of the two (2) sections of the chains or
straps MUST be attached to the back section of
the sling. Using the long section will leave little
or no support for the patient’s back.
1. With the patient laying on his/her back and po-
sitioned properly in the sling, lay the chains or
straps on the bed next to the sling.
2. The short section of chain or strap will be placed
parallel to the patient’s back. This will position
the longer section of chain or strap from the waist
to the mid section of the thigh.
3. The S-hooks on the ends of the chains or straps
are inserted into the metal support bar of the
sling.
