WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Death
Improperly attached, improperly adjusted, or
damaged slings can cause the patient to fall or
cause injury to assistants.
– Individuals that use the stand assist sling MUST
be able to support the majority of their own
weight, otherwise injury may occur.
– DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not
properly connected to the attachment points
of the lift. Check that the sling is properly
connected to the attachment points prior to
lifting a patient. If any attachments are not
properly in place, correct the problem.
– When the sling is elevated a few inches/cm off
the stationary surface and before moving the
patient, check again to make sure that all sling
attachments are secure. If any attachments
are not properly in place, lower the patient
back onto the stationary surface and correct
the problem.

WARNING!
Stand Assist Sling
– DO NOT use the stand assist sling in
combination with the patient lift as a transport
device. It is intended to transfer an individual
from one resting surface to another (such as a
bed to a wheelchair).
– Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom
edge of the stand assist sling is positioned on
the lower back of the patient and the patient's
arms are outside the stand assist sling. The
belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the
patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of
the sling during transfer possibly causing injury.
Transfer Stand Assist Sling
– Before lifting the patient, make sure the
bottom edge of the transfer sling is at the base
of the spine and the patient's arms are outside
the transfer sling.
– DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing
position while using the transfer sling,
otherwise injury may occur.
