LIFTING THE PATIENT
LIFTING THE PATIENT (Cont.)
WARNING
When elevated a few inches off the surface of
the bed and before moving the patient, check
again to make sure that all hardware is
properly connected. Check each S-hook to
make sure it is completely attached to the metal
support bars of the sling. Check the attachment
of the straps, O or D-rings to the swivel bar
hooks. If any attachments are NOT properly in
place, lower the patient back onto the bed and
correct this problem.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be
made before moving the patient. Patient’s arms
should be inside of the chains or straps.
Invacare slings and hardware are made
specifically for use with Invacare Patient Lifts.
For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix
slings and patient lifts of different manufactur-
ers. Warranty will be voided.
7. When patient is clear of the bed surface, swing
their feet off the bed (FIGURE 3).
8. Using the steering handles, move the patient lift
away from the bed.
