Placing Sit-On
Sit-On slings must always be put on in
a lying position.
Bend or cross one leg (upper) towards
the side you wish to roll the user.
Pass the arm on the same side forward
over the chest.
Have the user turn his/her head in the
same direction.
To ensure the sling is centered, the center
mark on the sling should follow the user's
backbone.
Position the dart of the sling opposite the
user's hip.
Turn the user onto his/her back and pull the
sling out on the other side.
Make sure to use the correct width of lifting
hanger.
Check that the sling does not move up
under the thighs when lifting from a lying
position.
Attach the lifting straps on the lifting
hanger.
