Moving the Patient

WARNING
The legs of the stand up lift MUST be in the maximum open position for optimum
stability and safety. If the patient is in a sling and it becomes necessary to move
through a narrow passage, close the legs of the stand up lift only as long as it takes
to move through the passage. When the stand up lift is through the passage, return
the legs to the maximum open position.
DO NOT, during transfer of a patient suspended in the lift sling, roll caster base
over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven
surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the lift. This could cause the
lift to tip over. Use the mast handle at all times to push or pull the lift.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to Detail "C" of FIGURE 4.2.
1. Ensure the legs of the stand up lift are in the maximum open position. If not, press the
open legs button on the pendant to move the legs to the maximum open position.
2. Move the stand up lift away from the surface.
3. Slowly move the patient to the desired surface.
