Slings
Sling loops should be attached as follows:
1.
Put the required sling loop onto your finger and thumb and then using the same finger or thumb, pull back the spring
locking mechanism on the correct hook on the correct side of the carry bar (Figure 8).
2.
Slide the sling loop from your finger and thumb over the edge of the hook (Error! Reference source not found.9).
3.
After positioning the loop below the locking mechanism (Error! Reference source not found.10) release the spring
locking mechanism to secure the sling loop (Error! Reference source not found.11).
To remove the sling, simply reverse the process – pull back on the spring locking mechanism, lift the loop out of the hook and
release the locking mechanism.
We recommend the use of the Mackworth Healthcare and Care-Ability manufactured sling range (type ‘B’ applied part) to be
utilised with the Mackworth Essentials 180 Mobile Hoist. It is at the user’s discretion to use alternative supplied product. In
utilising another manufacturer’s sling, checks must first be made to ensure the sling is safe to use and meets the requirements
of BS EN ISO 10535 before its use.
The slings with a safe working load of 180kg that can be used with the Mackworth Essentials 180 Mobile Hoist are shown below
in Table’s 1 and 2, complete with product codes. For all components, the lowest maximum safe working load must always be
adhered to.
