Fitting the Sling from a Seated Position
1
Place the sling down the back of the client and posi-
tion just beneath the shoulder blades and above the
belt line. Attach the buckle strap around the front of
the client. There is no need for the buckle strap to be
tight. The buckle strap is a positioning mechanism
and not a restraint.
NOTE: Padding behind the buckle straps does
not need to overlap.

Access Padded Sling with Head Support
2
Raise the client's leg and feed the leg strap under
and up between the legs. Ensure that the sling fabric
is not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this
procedure for the other leg.
Cross over the leg straps and attach to the spreader
bar on the front hooks using the longest loop. Raise the
hoist and attach your desired shoulder loop to the rear
hooks (a more upright position will be achieved using
the shortest loop).
NOTE: The hoist may move towards the client.
NOTE: Some adjustment of the shoulder and/or leg
loop attachment points may be needed to better suit
the client's height or body shape. Shoulder/leg loop
attachment points should be connected at a similar
length in order to achieve a balanced lift.
