Transferring the Patient to a Bed

NOTE: The lower center of gravity provides stability making the patient feel more secure and the lift easier to move.
NOTE: The lift arms will stay in position until the DOWN button is pressed.
1. Position the patient as far over the bed as possible.
NOTE: If patient is being transferred from a surface that is lower than the bed, press the UP button to raise the patient
above the surface of the bed. The patient should be elevated just high enough to clear the bed with their weight fully
supported by the lift.
2. Press the DOWN button and lower the patient onto the bed.
Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the
sling (standing or transport) from around the patient.
3. Lock the rear swivel casters. Refer to Locking/Unlocking the Rear Swivel Casters in the
OPERATION section of this manual.
