Basics in transferring an individual

Caution: The following steps are intended to generally illustrate the procedure involved in the lifting
and transferring of an individual from one location to another using the lift, track and sling. Track con-
figurations will vary by installation.
The manual for the sling that was purchased with the lift should be reviewed in detail prior to attempt-
ing these steps, as the sling illustrated here may not be the same as the one that was purchased

Step 1) Move the lift away from the charging station or current location and close to the individual that is to be
transferred. Use the procedures for up and down and moving along the track as described in the sections titled,
" Raising/lowering the lift
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the lift along the track. Watch out for and
avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the
lift/track.
Step 2) Prepare the individual being transferred with the appropriate sling. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the sling that was purchased on how to properly outfit an individual with a sling.
Caution: Always make sure that the sling is correctly fitted and adjusted on each side of the
individual so that maximum comfort and safety are achieved prior to lifting.
Step 3) Once the individual has been outfitted with the sling, move the lift so that it is positioned directly over
the individual. Lower the carry bar to a height so that the straps of the sling can be easily attached to the carry
bar.
Caution: Always check to ensure that the lift is correctly positioned directly above the per-
son to be lifted. Over time, the lift strap may fray if this is not followed.
Caution: Check to ensure that the carry bar has no cuts, dents or sharp edges that may
come in contact with the straps of the sling and cause damage to them. Report any concerns to
your local authorized dealer.
