ƽ WARNING

The legs of the patient lift MUST be in the maximum open position for optimum

stability 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.
