Never lift a user higher than is necessary to
carry out a sit to stand transfer. Remember
that wheels on a mobile hoist must NOT be
locked during the transfer
Be careful during movement, the user may swing during turns,
stops and starts. Be careful when manouevring close to furniture
and similar to ensure the suspended user does not hit anything.
Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven surfaces or
other obstacles that may block the castors. The hoist may
become unstable if forced over such obstacles increasing the risk
of it tipping over.
Never leave a user unattended while being
hoisted.
The hoist shall not be used to lift or move
users on sloping surfaces

with one hand, and ask the user to lean back in the chair.
