Safety Precautions

Please read and understand the following before using a Invacare patient lifter:
• Invacare patient lifters are designed to transfer people distances spanning no more
than a few metres - typically bed to chair or chair to chair, i.e. transfers occurring in
the same room. To transport a patient distances further than a few metres, Invacare
advises the user to transfer the patient to a wheelchair or trolley first.
• Invacare patient lifters are designed to be operated on level surfaces. Operating a
Invacare patient lifter on an incline can be very dangerous as the lifter becomes
difficult to handle and the load unstable.
• Do not use Invacare products with other brands of patient lifters/slings unless specified.
All information is subject to change without prior notice. Photographs are for illustration purposes only and may vary from product description.
