LIFTING THE PATIENT

SECTION 4—LIFTING THE PATIENT

Introduction

NOTE: Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation and
transferring to/from procedures; however, our equipment will permit proper operation by one
assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each
individual case.

Positioning the Patient Lift

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 4.1.

NOTE: Refer to General Guidelines on page 13 in this manual before proceeding further and
observe all warnings indicated.

NOTE: Before positioning the legs of the patient lift under a bed, make sure that the area is clear
of any obstructions.

WARNING

The legs of the patient lift MUST be in the maximum open position for optimum

stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs to maneuver the patient lift

under a bed, close the legs only as long as it takes to position the patient lift over the

patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the patient

lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs to the maximum open position.

1. Press the legs open button on the pendant to open the legs of the patient lift to

maximum.

2. Position the patient lift using the steering handle.

3. Press the boom down button on the pendant to lower the boom for easy attachment of

the sling.
