Lifting/Moving the Patient
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT lock the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Locking
the rear casters could cause the patient lift to tip and endanger the patient and
assistants.
DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the hooks of the
swivel bar. When the sling is elevated a few inches off the surface of the bed and before
moving the patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the
hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient
back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem - otherwise, injury or damage
may occur.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient.
DO NOT use slings and patient lifts of different manufacturers. Invacare slings are
made specifically for use with Invacare patient lifts. Injury or damage may occur.
