Guldmann Basic High Mode D'emploi page 21

Place the leg support under the thighs.
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.
When a sling size 4XL standard is used, it
may be an advantage to use a leg sling to
lift the user's leg or alternatively to intro-
duce the sling by using a slide sheet which
will make the fitting of the sling easier.
Cross the leg straps before attaching
to the hanger.
Check that the length of the upper lifting
straps fits the leg support's lifting strap.
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.
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 High can be applied from a lying
position in bed as well as a sitting position
in bed.
