Lifting from a lying position:
1)
Place the user on his or her side and fold up the
sling to its centre line. Place the folded part
beneath the user.
2)
Next roll the user onto his or her other side,
completely unfold the sling and then return the
user to a lying position.
3)
Place the leg straps underneath the legs and pull
them out between the user's legs.
Note:
Be careful not to pull on the straps when they are under the user's legs. It can be
facilitated by using a slider. The coloured short strap is crossed over the lifting strap
on the opposite side. Then cross the straps from the leg supports with the leg straps
from the inner thigh.
4)
Attach the sling straps to the hook on the spreader bar. See section Attach the sling to the
spreader bar.
5)
Now carefully lift the user. Once the straps are straightened out, the sling can be
straightened so that it is positioned correctly.
Attach the sling to the spreader bar:
Winncare Nordic excludes any liability if the sling is not correctly attached to the
hook on the spreader bar.
It is always the responsibility of the helper to ensure that the correct sling is used and
that it is suitable for the need/purpose.
1)
Attach the sling strap to the open hook.
Note:
On some models, there are straps of different colours. It is
important here that the same colour is used on the hooks on
each side in order to avoid an uneven lift.
2)
Pulling the strap down causes the lock to close with
a “click”
.
Note:
The lifting hook is designed in such a way that the
user's weight automatically keeps the hook locked.
To unhook the strap, pulling the strap up causes the hook to open.
Care should be taken to avoid the user’s fingers becoming caught in the hook
.
