DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation of 350 lbs.
DO NOT attempt to any transfer without approval of the patient's physician, nurse or medical
assistant.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
Invacare patient slings are made specifically for use with Invacare patient lifts. For the safety of the
patient, DO NOT intermix patient slings and patient lifts of different manufacturers.
Individuals that use the standing patient sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own
weight, otherwise injury may occur.
DO NOT move the patient if the patient sling is not properly connected to the attachment points on
the patient lift. Check that the patient sling is properly connected to the attachment points BEFORE
lifting the patient.
During transfer, with the patient suspended in the patient sling, DO NOT roll the base of the patient
lift over any uneven surfaces that would cause the patient lift to become unstable.
Use the steering handle on the mast assembly at all times to push or pull the stand up lift.
