OPERATING THE PATIENT LIFT

Electric Portable Patient Lift 22 Part No. 1145810

SECTION 3—OPERATING THE

PATIENT 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.

The legs of the patient lift must be in the maximum open position for optimum sta-

bility and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the patient lift under

a bed, close the legs only as long as it takes to position the patient lift over the

patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the patient

lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs to the maximum open position.
