ATTACHING THE CHAIN-FREE ALL FAB-
RIC SLINGS TO THE PATIENT LIFT
(FIGURE 1)
CAUTION
When connecting the sling to the patient lift,
the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back
of the patient for support. Using the long
section will leave little or no support for the
patient's back. The loops of the sling are color
coded and can be used to place the patient in
various positions. The colors make it easy to
connect both sides of the sling equally. Make
sure that there is sufficient head support when
lifting a patient.
3. Place the straps of the sling over the hooks of
the swivel bar. Match the corresponding colors
on each side of the sling for an even lift of the
patient (FIGURE 1).
NOTE: Model No. 9746 - Hammock and Model No.
9747 - Hammock w/Commode have four (4) sling
straps while Model No. 9742 - Universal Deluxe Sling
has six (6) sling straps.
