SECTION 4—LIFTING THE PATIENT
SECTION 4—LIFTING THE PATIENT
DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation (SWL) of 200 kg (31 stone). Maximum patient
weight is 195 kg (30 stone).
DO NOT attempt to any transfer without approval of a Healthcare Professional.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
Use the sling that is recommended by a Healthcare Professional for the comfort and safety of the
individual that is being lifted.
Individuals that use the stand assist sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight,
otherwise injury may occur.
Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand assist sling is positioned on the
lower back of the patient and the patient's arms are outside the stand assist sling. The belt MUST be
snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling during transfer
possibly causing injury.
After EACH laundering (in accordance with laundering instructions on the sling), inspect the sling for
wear, tears and loose stitching. Discard any patient sling that meets these criteria IMMEDIATELY.
Bleached, torn, cut, frayed or broken slings are unsafe and their use could result in injury or damage.
Discard any sling that meets these criteria IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT alter slings.
DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the attachment points on the lift.
Check that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points BEFORE lifting the patient.
During transfer, with the patient suspended in the sling, DO NOT roll the base of the lift over any
uneven surfaces that would cause the lift to become unstable.
Use the steering handle on the mast assembly at all times to push or pull the stand assist lift.
NOTE: Refer to the patient sling brochure for more information.
