4.1 Introduction

The operation of the patient lift is an easy and safe
procedure.
Before using the lift with a patient, refer to the
following procedures for safety information and
instruction:
• 2.2 Operating Information, page 6

4.2 Closing/Opening Legs

WARNING!
Risk of Injury
The lift could tip and endanger the patient and
assistants.
– The legs of the lift must be in the maximum
open position for optimum stability and safety.
If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to
maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of
the lift only as long as it takes to position the
lift over the patient and lift the patient off the
surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift
are no longer under the bed, return the legs of
the lift to the maximum open position.
