CareLift Lifting Harness
Care & Use Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Solvit CareLift Lifting Harness. This Guide covers both Rear-Only and Full-Body
versions of the Harness. The Rear-Only version contains a rear lifting panel with rubberized handle, an integrated
"belly band" which supports the dog's abdomen, two leg straps and a lifting leash. The Full-Body version includes
the above pieces, plus a
front lifting panel with
rubberized handle and
chest lifting section, plus
an adjustable shoulder
strap (see Fig 1 for
identification of parts).
To place Rear section on dog: Un-fasten the plastic buckle connector on one side of the belly band and on each leg
loop. Place the lifting panel on the back of the dog a few inches in front of the base of the tail. Wrap the belly band
around the abdomen and connect on opposite side, then run each leg strap under a leg and connect to the rear of the
lifting panel. Adjust straps and check for fit – the harness should be snug but not too tight. For improved fit, the leg
loops have a swiveling connector on the front end of the loop. This connector can be placed in different positions on
the Rear Lifting Panel (two positions on Medium, three positions on Large). To re-position the connector, refer to the
images below and follow these instructions: 1) slide the yoke piece forward to disengage from the "peg" on the pivot
piece; 2) unfold pivot piece so it can be slid out of place on the strap, then re-insert into another position on the strap;
3) fold the pivot piece back into position and slide the yoke piece over the peg on the pivot piece to finish.
