4. Move the hoist so close to the client as possible and brake the hoist.
5. Adjust the knee support so that the kneepad is just below knees.
6. Lower the lifting arm.
7.
Place the lifting straps in hooks of the fork shaped lifting bar. Client’s arms can be
inside or outside the sling, and they can hold on to the stand-up bar depending on
their ability. (Not crucial to hold on if impossible to do so.)
8. Encourage the client to look up and lean back.
9. Lift the client a few centimetres above the seat - STOP - make sure that all straps
are securely attached to the hooks on the lifting arm and if necessary make
adjustments on the sling.
10. Bring the client into standing position. We recommend lifting the client 3/4 of the
way i.e. with knees slightly bent. Support the client if necessary.
11. In order to prevent sling from riding up, the two lifting straps can be passed through
an extension loop.
NOTE!!
For Stand-up hoist: Please observe that when you lift or lower your client
the wheels on the hoist must be locked, and on the wheelchair they must
be locked.
