FIGURE 4.1 Lifting the Patient
Moving the Patient
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT move a person suspended in a sling any distance. The Invacare lift is NOT
a transport device. It is intended to transfer a seated individual from one resting
surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Otherwise, injury or damage
may occur.
The legs of the stand up lift MUST be 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.
DO NOT roll caster base over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door
frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the
lift during transfer of a patient suspended in the lift sling. This could cause the lift to
tip over. Use the mast handle at all times to push or pull the lift.
