5.4 Moving the Patient

WARNING!
– The legs of the stand assist lift MUST be in the
maximum open position for optimum stability and
safety. If the patient is in a sling and it becomes
necessary to move through a narrow passage, close
the legs of the stand assist lift only as long as it takes
to move through the passage. When the stand assist
lift is through the passage, return the legs to the
maximum open position.
– DO NOT, during transfer of a patient suspended in
the lift sling, roll caster base over uneven surfaces that
would create an imbalance of the lift. This could cause
the lift to tip over. Use the mast handle at all times to
push or pull the lift.
1. Ensure the legs of the stand assist lift are in the maximum open
position. If not, press the OPEN LEGS button on the hand
control to move the legs to the maximum open position.
2. Move the stand assist lift away from the surface they were lifted
from.
3. Slowly move the patient to the desired surface.
