WARNING!
-DO NOT attempt any transfer of a patient without approval of the patient's physician, nurse, or medical assistant.
-DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the hooks of the hanger bar. When the sling is a few
inches off the stationary surface and before moving the patient, check to make sure the sling is properly connected to
the hooks of the hanger bar. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back onto the stationary
surface and correct this problem; otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
-Adjust for safety and comfort before moving the patient. The patient's arms should be inside the straps.
-DO NOT use slings and patient lifts from different manufacturers. Invacare slings are made specifically for use with
Invacare patient lifts. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
-Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced to ensure it is properly attached
before the patient is removed from a bed or chair.
-DO NOT lock 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 initially lifted from a
chair, bed, or any stationary object.
-Note the legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle locked in place for optimum
stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift
only as long as it takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of
the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to the maximum open position and immediately lock the
shifter handle.
