ATTACHING SLINGS TO LIFT
Slings Using Chains or Straps (FIGURE 2)
1. The D-ring (strap) or O-ring (chain) is the suggested
location to attach the swivel bar, however, by changing to
different links or adjusting the strap, you can reposition
the patient into a reclining or more upright position.
When changing to different lengths, DO NOT discon-
nect the O-rings of the chains from the swivel bar.
Position BOTH the O-rings and additional chain link
onto the hooks of the swivel bar.
2. The straps can be simply adjusted to achieve the same
effect.
3. With the sling positioned under the patient, and the sup-
port bars in place, you are now ready to move the lift into
position to attach the sling hardware to the swivel bar.
4. Refer to the LIFTING THE PATIENT Section in the
Portable Patient Lift and Sling Owner's Manual.
