MOVING THE PATIENT (FIGURE 2)
WARNING
STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the standing sling
in combination with the stand up lift as a transport
device. It is intended to transfer an individual from
one resting surface to another (such as a bed to
a wheelchair). Moving a person using the stand-
ing sling in combination with the stand up lift over
ANY distance is NOT recommended.
During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling
attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand up lift over
objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings,
door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles
that would create an imbalance of the stand up
lift and could cause the stand up lift to tip over.
Use push handle on the mast at ALL times to push
or pull the stand up lift.
1. Using the push handle, move the stand up lift away
from the surface.
2. SLOWLY, move the patient to the desired surface.
3. Lower the patient onto the desired surface. Refer to
TRANSFERRING TO in this manual.
