WARNING
STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the stand-
ing sling in combination with the stand up
lift as a transport device. It is intended to
transfer an individual from one resting sur-
face to another (such as a bed to a
wheelchair). Moving a person using the
standing sling in combination with the
stand up lift over ANY distance is NOT rec-
ommended.
During transfer, with patient suspended in
a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll
stand up lift over objects such as carpet,
raised carpet bindings, door frames, or
any uneven surfaces or obstacles that
would create an imbalance of the stand
up lift and could cause the stand up lift to
tip over. Use push handle on the mast at
ALL times to push or pull the stand up lift.
1. Using the push handle, move the stand up lift away
from the surface.
WARNING
The legs of the stand up lift MUST be in the
MAXIMUM OPEN position and the shifter
handle LOCKED in place for optimum sta-
bility and safety. If the patient is in a trans-
port 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 PAS-
SAGE. Once the stand up lift is through
the passage, return the legs of the stand
up lift to the MAXIMUM OPEN position and
LOCK shifter handle IMMEDIATELY.
2. SLOWLY, move the patient to the desired surface.
3. Lower the patient onto the desired surface. Refer to
TRANSFERRING TO in this manual.
