tachment in the SLING OWNER'S MANUAL Part
No. 1023891. For operation of the patint lift refer to
OPERATION Section of this Owner's Manual.

the standard commode and their weight supported
by the patient lift.

ing the sling attached to the swivel bar hooks.

TRANSFERRING TO A BATHING UNIT

WARNING
When elevated a few inches off the sur-
face of the bed and before moving the
patient, check again to make sure that
the sling is properly connected to the
swivel bar hooks. If any attachments are
NOT properly in place, lower the patient
completely to 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 manufactur-
ers. Warranty will be voided.
Invacare does NOT recommend locking
of the rear casters of the patient lift when
lifting an individual. Doing so could cause
the lift to tip and endanger the patient and
assistants. Invacare DOES recommend that
the rear casters be left UNLOCKED during
lifting procedures to allow the patient lift
to stabilize itself when the patient is initially
lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary
object.
NOTE: There are many portable bathing
apparatuses; this is an example of one. Refer to your
particular portable bath instructions and use them in
conjunction with this Owner’s Manual.
1. Before lifting the patient from the bed, follow the
procedures concerning sling attachment and lifting
the patient in the SLING OWNER'S MANUAL Part
No. 1023891. For operation of the patint lift refer to
OPERATION Section of this Owner's Manual.

the bed and be able to slide the portable bath tub un-
der the patient.

tach the portable bath tub straps to the patient lift.
