Slings - Prism CP User Manual

5.2 Slings

The way the sling is attached to the carry bar needs to be assessed on individual basis and documented in the individual's care
plan. Furthermore, the person attaching the sling to the carry bar should reference the user manual for the specific sling in use
as attachment points vary depending on the application and type.
Only after the correct attachment is fully understood should the sling loops be fitted onto the carry bar in the correct order.
Sling loops should be attached as follows:
1. Put the required sling loop onto your finger and thumb and then using the same finger or thumb, pull back the spring
locking mechanism on the correct hook on the correct side of the carry bar (Figure 12).
2. Slide the sling loop from your finger and thumb over the edge of the hook (Figure 13 and 14).
3. After positioning the loop below the locking mechanism (Figure 15) release the spring locking mechanism to secure the
sling loop. (Figure 16)
Make sure the required loop(s) are on the correct hooks and are correctly positioned.

To remove the sling, simply reverse the process – pull back on the spring locking mechanism, lift the loop out of the hook and
release the locking mechanism.
We recommend the use of Prism manufactured sling range (type 'BF' applied part) to be utilised with the CP Hoist. It is at the
user's discretion to use alternative supplied product. In utilising another manufacturer's sling, checks must first be made to
ensure the sling is safe to use and meets the requirements of BS EN ISO 10535 before its use and a full risk assessment to be
carry out before use.
