WARNING
When elevated a few inches off the surface of the
bed and before moving the patient, check again
to make sure that the sling is properly connected
to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments
are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back
onto the bed and correct this problem.
Adjustments for safety and comfort should be
made before moving the patient. Patient's arms
should be inside of the straps.
Invacare slings are made specifically for use with
Invacare Patient Lifts. For the safety of the patient,
DO NOT intermix slings and patient lifts of different
manufacturers. Warranty will be voided.
3. When patient is clear of the bed surface, swing their
feet off the bed (FIGURE 2).
