Slings
Attaching a sling
Attaching the sling to a spreader bar from
a sitting position
1. Stand beside or behind the client and
position the sling so that the center of
the sling is aligned with the client's back.
Pay attention to the marking on the sling,
the arrow indicates the middle, top and
outside of the sling. The anti-slip material
on the inside must be directed towards the
client's back. Place the strap at the lower
back and bring the attachment loops to the
front underneath the arms.
2. Fasten the buckle of the waist belt.
3.
Move the lift close to the user. Check that
the client is sitting safely.
Lower the lift arm using the hand control
to a position where it does not touch the
client but it is possible to attach the loops
or safety clips to the hanger/spreader bar
without having to use physical force. The
client places his/her feet on the footplate.
The height-adjustable under leg supports
must be positioned approximately 2 cm
below the client's kneecap.
Attach the sling symmetrically to the
connection points of the lift arm by means
of the loops or safety clips. Carefully check
each of the attachments.
