Check Safety
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to
ensure that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. If there are signs
of wear, the product must be discarded.
Mechanical load
Apply pressure to buckles and handles and verify that they will not open
or break under heavy loads.
Always read the user manual
Always read the user manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the user manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Always make sure that you have the right version of the user manual.
The most recent editions of user manuals are available for downloading from our website, www.handicare.com.
Placement and removal of SitWalk
Place SitWalk under the thighs and close to the seat, with the handles facing out from the body. Pull on the handles
alternately from the right and left side, so that the strap slides against the thighs and inward towards the buttocks.
Raising the user's feet from the floor will relieve some of the weight of the thighs from the seat, thereby making
repositioning easier.
Remove SitWalk by pulling alternately on the handles, so that it slides farther out on the thighs until it can be fully removed
without moving the user.
