TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT TO
A BED (FIGURE 2)
NOTE: The lower center of gravity provides stability
making the patient feel more secure and the lift easier
to move.
NOTE: The lift arms will stay in position until the DOWN

sible.
NOTE: If patient is being transferred from a surface
that is lower than the bed, press the UP (

tient onto the bed.
