When using either the chains or straps to connect the sling to the patient lift, the short-
est of the two sections of the chains or straps MUST be attached to the back section of
the sling. Using the long section will leave little or no support for the patient's back.
1. With the patient laying on his/her back and positioned properly in the sling, lay the chains
or straps on the bed next to the sling. Refer to Detail "A".
2. The short section of chain or strap will be placed parallel to the patient's back. This will
position the longer section of chain or strap from the waist to the mid section of the thigh.
3. The "S" hooks on the ends of the chains or straps are inserted into the metal support bar
of the sling.
4. The "S" hook MUST be inserted through the hole in the support bar with the open end
facing away from the patient. Refer to Detail "C".
5. Position the lift for use. Refer to Attaching the Standard Style Sling to the Patient Lift on
page 11.
