GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS

TRANSFER FROM BED
For easier transfers follow these instructions.

1. If patient needs support and is in a hospital bed, raise side
   rails and have patient hold onto rails. Raise the level of the
   bed to the highest position before moving the patient onto
   the sling.
   Note: This will reduce strain on the caregiver’s lower back.
   Also, when the patient is ready to be lifted, lower the side
   rails and the level of the bed, decreasing the distance you
   have to elevate the patient.
2. To place sling under patient, follow sling instructions below
   depending on the type of sling you are using.
   a. Put the folded sling behind patient’s back. Roll patient
   onto back.
   b. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs.
   c. Cross the loops.
3. Roll the base of the patient lift as far under the bed as
   possible, placing the cradle over the patient. Take caution
   not to lower the frame onto the patient. Before lifting
   patient be sure the lifter arm is centered over patient.
   Remeber, when lifting patient, the parking brake should
   NOT be used.
4. When both sides of the sling are attached to their respective
   side of the cradle, raise the patient slowly. If patient is in
   hospital bed, it will help to raise head of bed. Repositioning
   of patient may be needed to ensure that a safe sitting
   position is attained as the patient is raised.
5. Raise patient until buttocks are just above mattress.
   Self-leveling cradle will bring patient into sitting position.
6. Hold steering handles and move lifter away from bed. Move
   the patient into position over the seat of a locked
   wheelchair.
