NOTE: Invacare recommends that two (2) assistants be
used for ALL lifting preparation, transferring from and trans-
ferring to procedures. The use of one (1) assistance is
T
totally based on the evaluation of the healthcare profes-
R
sional for each individual case.

N
maximum open position and the shifter handle locked
S

a narrow passage, close the legs of the stand-up lift
R
only as long as it takes to move through the passage.

Once the stand-up lift is through the passage, return
I
the legs of the stand-up lift to the maximum open posi-
N
