Safety Notes
•
The Volaro lift is designed for patient transfer only. Using the lift for transport can create an unsafe
patient handling situation.
•
Lift legs must be fully extended into the wide position when lifting a patient or resident.
•
For Emergency Stop, pull power pac from power box.
•
Make sure all four loops from the sling are properly
“
nested
”
in the bottom of the hooks before lifting or
transferring a patient or resident. Also make sure that all four retainer springs are functioning correctly.
•
Use
only
Volaro slings and accessories designed for use with the Volaro lift models.
•
Do not
push or pull on the beam or resident. This will jeopardize the lift
’
s stability.
•
Do not
use any other power pac charger. Use only the power pac charger supplied with the lift.
•
Do not
exceed the weight limit listed on the lift.
•
Do not
place fingers between the safety guards of the beam track.
•
Do not
attempt a transfer from the floor before examining for any injuries that may need special atten-
tion.

Safe Working Loads
Volaro slings have been developed, tested and manufactured to have a safe working load of 1000 lbs. Due
to the variety of resident shapes and dimensions, the appropriate size should be selected to accommodate
specific patients. Care should be taken to ensure that the mechanical lift selected has the capacity to safely
lift the resident.
The Volaro Sling Sizing Chart (page 7) is designed only to suggest which resident will safely fit into the
sling based on their size and weight.
NOTE:
Lifts are designed to
“
transfer
”
a resident, not
“
transport
”
them.
