6.1 Safe Lifting

WARNING!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
Improper use of this product may cause death,
injury or damage.
The lift could tip and endanger the patient and
assistants.
– The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport
device. It is intended to transfer an individual
from one resting surface to another (such as a
bed to a wheelchair).
– Wheelchair and bed wheel locks MUST be in
a locked position before lowering the patient
onto or lifting the patient off of the wheelchair
or bed to prevent the wheelchair or bed from
moving during transfer.
– Before transferring, check that the wheelchair
(bed, commode or other surface) weight
capacity can withstand the patient's weight.
WARNING!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
– DO NOT exceed the maximum patient weight
limitation of 200 kg (31 stone).
– ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving
parts to avoid injury.
– ALWAYS be aware of the foot plate, especially
the patient's position on the foot plate. Injury
to the patient and/or assistant may occur.

WARNING!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
Improper use of this product may cause death,
injury or damage.
The lift could tip and endanger the patient and
assistants.
– The legs of the lift must be in the maximum
open position for optimum stability and safety.
If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to
maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of
the lift only as long as it takes to position the
lift in front of the patient and lift the patient
off the surface of the bed. When the legs of
the lift are no longer under the bed, return the
legs of the lift to the maximum open position.
– Invacare recommends locking the rear casters
of the lift ONLY when positioning or removing
the sling from around the patient.
– Invacare recommends that the rear casters
be left unlocked during lifting procedures to
allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the
patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or
any stationary object.
