WARNING!
Risk of Falling
The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It
is intended to transfer an individual from one resting
surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair).
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of
the patient's physician, nurse or medical assistant.
Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner's Manual,
observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting
procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure
several times with proper supervision and a capable
individual acting as a patient.
Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically
designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare
patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other
manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of
Invacare's patient lift system.
– Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST
BE taken with people with disabilities who cannot
cooperate while being lifted.
