If a slide sheet has been used to transfer the patient onto the Rhino it must be removed from under
the patient before commencing a lift.

The 4 sections MUST always be fully inflated in sequence from the bottom up, in order to maintain

Ensure the Mangar Rhino Lifting Cushion is the correct way up before inflation, with the white
markings showing on the top layer facing upwards and the inflation valves showing 1 at the bottom
(closest to the ground) and 4 at the top (furthest from the ground).
