Positioning the Stand Up Lift

ƽ WARNING

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

stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the stand up lift

under a bed, close the legs only as long as it takes to position the stand up lift over

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

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