5. With one assistant behind the chair and the other
operating the patient lift, the assistant behind the chair
will pull back on the grab handle (on selected models)
or sides of the sling to seat the patient well into the
back of the chair. This will maintain a good center of
balance and prevent the chair from tipping forward.
