Basics in transferring an individual ... continued
Step 4) Attach the straps of the sling to the hooks of the carry bar. The straps on each side of the sling are gen-
erally attached to the corresponding side of the carry bar. Be sure to double check to ensure that the straps are
properly attached to the carry bar, and that the individual being lifted is properly positioned in the sling prior to
lifting.
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling are securely
placed on the hooks of the carry bar and that the straps will not come off.
Sling loop correctly positioned
at the base of the carry bar
hook.
Load applied. The sling loop
begins to slide off the hook.
Caution: There is a risk for the strap to disengage from the hook, if a sling loop is allowed to
rotate and rest on the top of the hook(s). Please check to ensure that the loops are on the hook
not resting in the hook. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
For your safety and the safety of the patient, please always ensure that the sling loops are correctly
positioned on the carry bar hooks. It is suggested to do the check of the sling loops once there is
tension to the sling loops, but prior to completely lifting the patient.
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual ensure the hand control cord is free of the carry bar
hooks.
