Guldmann Basic Low Manuel D'utilisation page 24

Place the leg support under the thighs.
Cross the leg straps before attaching
to the hanger.
Try to lift with your legs and not with
arms and back. If the legs are heavy,
ask a colleague to help you to lift.
If support is required for the neck,
a neck support cushion is available
as an accessory.
Check that the length of the upper
lifting straps fits the lifting strap of the
leg supports. Lift until all the straps are
taut and check all mountings.
To lift user evenly, match the colors on the
loops of each strap, such as grey to grey or
green to green. To modify user's position or
comfort, differing loop colors can be used –
consult with your Guldmann representative
for assistance.
Do not lift higher than necessary. It is the
functional level that determines whether the
arms should be inside or outside the sling.
Users with paralysis should have the para-
lyzed arm on the inside of the sling where it
will be supported. When putting user into 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.
Make sure to use the correct lifting hanger.
Basic Low can be applied from a lying
position in bed as well as a sitting position
in bed.
