WARNING!
Risk of Injury
The lift could tip and endanger the patient and
assistants.
– The legs of the lift must be in the maximum
open position for optimum stability and safety.
If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to
maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs
of the lift only as long as it takes to position
the lift over the patient and lift the patient off
the surface of the bed. When the legs of the
lift are no longer under the bed, return the
legs of the lift to the maximum open position.
