LIFTING PREPARATION
Slings Using Color Coded Straps (FIGURE 3)
1. Place the straps of the sling over hooks of the swivel
bar. Match the corresponding colors on each side of
the sling for an even lift of the patient (FIGURE 3).
CAUTION
When connecting sling to the patient lift, the short-
est of the straps MUST be at the back of patient for
support. Using long section will leave little or no sup-
port for patient's back. The loops of the sling are
color coded and can be used to place patient in vari-
ous positions. The colors make it easy to connect
both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there
is sufficient head support when lifting a patient.
NOTE: Model Nos. R110 - R117 Full Body Slings and
Model Nos. 120 - 122 Toileting Slings have four (4)
sling straps. Model Nos.100 - 102 Divided Leg Slings
have six (6) sling straps.
