Troubleshooting

If the sling is too small, the head may
come too close to the sling bar.
Wrong sling size. Try another size.
The user is not able to take load on
the legs/feet. Evaluate whether a sling
intended for rehabilitation/mobiliza-
tion training is right or if the user
requires a passive lift.
The user is wearing too slippery clo-
thes. Change or remove some of the
clothing.
The sling has been raised without the
user leaning forward or the belt not
tightened properly. Lower the user,
adjust the sling and start over.
