Lower the lift arms to their lowest position and spread the base of the VERA-LIFT™
to its widest position. (Spreading the base maximizes the stability of the lift.)
7) Move the lift in front of the patient and help the patient place his or her feet on the foot
pad with the patient's knees against the knee pad.
It is important that the patient's feet be flat on the base of the foot pad.
(The height of the foot pad can be raised by positioning it on the upper mast pegs for
VERA-LIFT™ models without scales.)

sides of the back belt.
c) Remove the colored straps from the VELCRO pocket under the patient's arms and
connect the colored straps straight (not crossed) to the lift arm hooks using the
same loop on both sides of the back belt. (The upper or lower lift arm hooks may be
used for short to medium height patients. The upper hooks should be used for tall
patients as this will help the patient to stand erect on the VERA-LIFT™.)

Snuggly fasten the knee strap behind the patient's knees.
Double check the back belt loop connection to the lift arm hooks to make

away from the patient.
17) Unfasten the inner safety belt and remove the back belt.
