Attaching the One-Piece Style Sling to the Patient Lift
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.
1. Place the straps of the sling over hooks of the swivel bar. Match the corresponding colors on each side of the
sling for an even lift of the patient.
WARNING: When connecting sling to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back
of patient for support. Using long section will leave little or no support for patient's back. The loops
of the sling are color coded and can be used to place patient in various positions. The colors make it
easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head support when
lifting a patient.
2. Refer to the Lifting the Patient in the Patient Lift Ownerʹs Manual.
NOTE: For Lift Swivel Bars that have three hookup points per side, the middle hookup is ONLY used for slings
that have three sets of straps per side or slings that use chains or adjustable straps.
