SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
WARNING
SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation
and use of this product.
Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the Dealer for
further instructions.
The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one seated surface to another
(such as a bed to a wheelchair).
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient's physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the
instructions in this Owner's Manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the
entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
Use the sling that is recommended by the individual's doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the
individual that is being lifted.
A competent person must ensure that the strength and stability of the product remains adequate for all tasks if parts are
replaced.
The patient lift can be used indoors or outdoors. If the patient lift is used in the area of a shower or bath, ensure that the patient
lift is wiped clean of any moisture after use. DO NOT store the lift in a damp area or in a damp condition. Periodically inspect all
components of the patient lift for signs of corrosion. Replace all parts that are corroded or damaged.

Weight Limitation

DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation (SWL) of 200 kg (31 stone). Maximum patient weight is 195 kg (30 stone).

Assembling the Lift

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

Using the Sling

Individuals that use the Stand Assist Sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight, otherwise injury may
occur.
Stand Assist Slings: DO NOT use the stand assist sling in combination with the patient lift as a transport device. It is
intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair).
Stand Assist Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand assist sling is positioned on the lower
back of the patient and the patient's arms are outside the stand assist sling.
Stand Assist Slings: The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling
during transfer, possibly causing injury.
Transfer Stand Assist Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transfer sling is at the base of the
spine and the patient's arms are outside the transfer sling.
Transfer Stand Assist Slings: DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transfer sling, otherwise
injury may occur.
After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching.
Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard immediately.
DO NOT alter slings.
Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before
the patient is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).
If the patient is in a wheelchair, activate the wheelchair brakes to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards.
Consideration should be taken that prevents exposure to danger to the person being lifted, and that the person can be freed
without injury.
