Invacare Low Profile RPL450-2 Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual page 33

DO NOT place the patient in the wheelchair if the locks are not engaged. The
wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient
into the wheelchair for transport. Otherwise, injury may result.
4. Use the straps or handles on the side and the back of the sling to guide the patient's
hips as far back as possible into the seat for proper positioning.
5. Position the patient over the seat with
their back against the back of the chair.
6. Begin to lower the patient either by
opening the control valve or by
pressing the boom down button.
7. Two assistants are recommended for
this step ‐ One assistant stands behind
the chair and the other operates the
patient lift. The assistant behind the
chair pulls back on the grab handle (on
select models) or sides of the sling to
seat the patient well into the back of the
chair.
NOTE: This will maintain a good center of
balance and prevent the chair from tipping
forward.
8. Leave the sling in place unless a
divided leg sling was used. Remove a
divided leg sling.
9. Reverse Lifting the Patient on page 26
to return to the seating surface of the
wheelchair.
