Removing the sling Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs. Standing by the pa- tient’s side, lean the patient forward while supporting the patient with one hand. Pull the sling up from behind the patient’s back and position the patient in the chair. WARNING: Pulling sharply on the sling may cause the patient to fall forward, resulting in personal injury.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex patient lift in a safe operating condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance checks should be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by an authorized dealer.
CLEANING Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of time.
