4. The lift is moved, by the steering handles, to a
position close to the doorway of the car.
5. Lower the boom of the lift until it is about even with
the roof of the car.
6. As one (1) attendant pushes the patient into the car
by his knees until he/she is positioned over the seat
of the car, the other attendant lowers the boom. As
the boom is being lowered, the first assistant is not
only pushing but turning the patient so he/she is
positioned facing the front of the car.
7. The patient will come to rest on the seat of the car.
