Adjust the bed's position to sitting
Lifting with the Sit-On High sling must
always take place from a sitting position.
Lift until all straps are taut and now check
all attachments.
It is a good idea to lower the height of the
bed before starting to lift the user. It feels
more secure and you need not lift the user
higher than necessary.
Do these stages in reverse when the
user is being put back into bed.
When the user is placed in a wheelchair
tip the chair slightly backwards and push
against the user's knees to get the user as
far back in the chair as possible.
