SECTION 3—OPERATING THE LIFT
Introduction
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT attempt any transfer of a patient without approval of the patient's
physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this
owner's manual, observe a trained team of experts performing the lifting
procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper
supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
ONLY operate the lift with the legs of the lift in the maximum open position for
optimum stability and safety. If the patient is in a sling and it becomes necessary to
move through a narrow passage, close the legs of the stand up lift only as long as it
takes to move through the passage. When the stand up lift is through the passage,
return the legs to the maximum open position.
If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the stand up lift under a bed, close
the legs only as long as it takes to position the stand up lift over the patient and lift
the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the stand up lift are no
longer under the bed, return the legs to the maximum open position.
Use common sense in all lifts.
Invacare slings and lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction
with Invacare lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not
to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s lift system.
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the lift. The weight limitation for
the Get-U-Up Lift is 350 lbs.
ALWAYS keep hands, fingers, feet and toes clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
