Raising/Lowering an Electric Lift

Invacare does not recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when
lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and
assistants. Invacare does recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during
lifting procedures to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is ini-
tially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3.5.
