Transferring the Patient
1) Install the sling around the patient.
2) Take the battery out of the charger and insert it
into the lift. Make sure the silver contact points
go inside the lift.
3) Once the patient sling is installed, unwind the
strap.
There are two ways to unwind the strap:
First, you can press the down
button while holding tension on
the strap with the other hand
(there must be tension on the
strap for the lift to function).
The other way is to use the
“quick-release”. (1) Push the
knob sideways and (2) pull the
strap out of the lift.
4) Attach the carabiner to the trolley in the rail.

5) Move the lift over to the patient.
6) Lower the lift to approximately below the
patient’s chin level before beginning to attach
the sling straps (this is to avoid the unit from
making contact with the patient’s face due to
the movement of the lift).
For a patient in a lying position, lower the lift near
the thorax, and then install the straps.
7) Attach the straps of the sling as described in
the sling’s documentation.
8) Lift the patient slightly by pressing the UP
control button.
11) Use the handles on the back of the sling to
position the patient when transferring into a
chair. Hold the handles firmly as the sling
lowers and the sling will tilt back to position the
patient.
12)Once the patient is properly seated and the
straps are loose, remove the sling from the lift.
CAUTION: Push the knob completely over to
ensure that the quick-release will work
properly.
The quick-release will not work if there is
tension on the strap. Make sure the strap
has some slack in it before attempting to
slide the knob over.
DO NOT force the knob. It should slide
easily.
Note: To help you reach the trolley, use the
arm extension as follows:
Insert the round hook into the loop of the
arm extension #A8300 (1), then hook it to the
trolley in the track (2).

WARNING: Hold the lift with one hand at all
times when near a patient. The proximity of
the lift near the patient’s face may cause the
patient some discomfort.
WARNING: Before lifting the patient:
1) Make sure that all straps are attached to
the lift’s supports.
2) Make sure the patient's arms are safely
out of the way.
3) Make sure the sling is not caught on any
obstructions (wheelchair brake or arm of
chair, etc.).
If any of the above occurs, lower the patient
immediately and correct the problem.
9) Lift until the patient's buttock
clears all obstacles in the
transfer path, chair arm
supports for example, before
moving the patient. Guide the
legs past any obstacle.
10)When the patient is located
above the desired point of
transfer and ready to be
lowered, press the down
button.
WARNING: A patient should never be left
unattended during a transfer. In the unlikely
event of a failure of the device, the caregiver
must be ready to react.
