Adjust the bed's position to sitting
Lifting with the Sit-On High sling must
always take place from a sitting position.
Lift until all straps are taut and now
check all attachments.
It is a good idea to lower the height
of the bed before starting to lift the user.
It feels more secure and you need not
lift the user higher than necessary.
Do these stages in reverse when the
user is being put back into bed.
When the user is placed in a wheelchair
tip the chair slightly backwards and push
against the user's knees to get the user
as far back in the chair as possible.
