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.
