Basics in transferring an individual ... continued
Step 5) The individual may now be raised with the use of the UP button on the hand control. While lifting is
in progress the height required in order for the transfer to be completed safely should be closely observed. En-
sure that the individual being lifted will not be injured by any obstructions during the initial lifting.
Caution: Always use caution when lowering/raising an individual who is in the sling of the
lift. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual, or dam-
age to the lift.
Step 6) Once at the correct height the individual can be moved along the track to the desired location. Refer to
the sections already described in this manual on how to move the lift along the track
Step 7) Once at the desired location the individual in the sling can be lowered/raised to the correct height in
order to complete the transfer. On completion of lowering/raising ensure that the individual is properly posi-
tioned and safely supported prior to removing the straps of the lift from the carry bar.
Caution: Prior to removing the straps of the sling from the carry bar be sure to check that
the individual being lifted is securely supported in the final desired position.
Step 8) Lower the carry bar sufficiently to allow the straps of the sling to be easily removed from the carry
bar. Take care not to let the carry bar come in contact with the individual in the sling. The straps from the sling
can now be removed from the carry bar. The carry bar of the lift should then be raised sufficiently and the lift
moved away from the immediate area so that it will not interfere with the removal of the sling from the indi-
vidual.
Step 9 ) The sling can now be gently removed from the individual. It should then be stored in a safe place for
future use.
Step 10) The lift can now be moved to a safe location until further use, or relocated to its' original location.
The lift should be turned off when not in use. It is recommended that the lift be left on charge when not in op-
eration. Refer to the section titled, "

Hand Control using the self tapping screws provided with the plastic hook. On the back of the Hand Control
there will be 2 small pilot holes where the self tapping screws should be screwed into. See figure 7D for a
Hand Control with the Plastic Hook already assembled. Figure 7E demonstrates the use of the plastic hook
