Attach loops to the spreader bar or lifting strap
Attach the loops to the spreader bar or lifting straps. Attach the shoulder- and head loops
before the leg loops. The sling can be used at spreader bars with 2 or 4 attachment points.
Please note, that for security and comfort reasons, the size (width) of the spreader bar must
correspond with the size of the sling. Invacare recommend that a professional, prior to issuing
lifting equipment, always carry out a risk assessment. If you are in doubt about the use of
Invacare's slings with other manufacturer's equipment, contact Invacare®or you supplier for
advice.
The position of the client in the sling can be adjusted by using the different adjustment straps.
Shorter loops at the shoulders (the blue straps) and longer at the legs (grey) produces a more
vertical lift, which will assist with positioning into a chair or wheelchair. By lowering the loops
at the shoulders (grey loops) and/or shorten the loops at the legs (blue loops), a more reclined
position can be achieved, which is more suitable for a chair to bed transfer.
Use only CE marked spreader bars and hoists, preferably with a rated Safe Working
Load equal to or higher than that of the sling. If the SWL is lower than of the sling,
the SWL of the spreader bar or hoist is applicable.
Always check that all the straps are properly attached to the spreader bar or lifting
strap before attempting the lift.
Invacare®recommend that a risk assessment is always carried out by a professional
prior to issuing lifting equipment. Always choose the sling design and size according
to the clients weight, size and physical ability.
Slings should be checked regularly for wear and damage* – NEVER use a damaged
sling. (*In accordance with each country's regulations).
If you are in any doubt, please do not attempt to use the sling and seek the advice
of a professional or your supplier.
