The individual may now be raised by pumping the lift handle of hydraulic actuator. While lifting is in
progress the height required in order for the transfer to be completed safely should be closely observed.
Caution: When elevated few inches off the bed and before moving the patient, check that
sling straps are properly attached. If any attachments are not properly in place,
lower the individual back onto the bed and correct the attachment.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the individual. Patient’s
arms should be inside of the sling straps.
