Attaching the One-Piece Style Sling to the Patient Lift

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.4.
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.
When connecting sling to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the
back of patient for support. Using long section will leave little or no support for patient's
back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place patient in various
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.
2. Refer to the Lifting the Patient in the Patient Lift Owner's Manual.
NOTE: Invacare Lift Swivel Bars have three hookup points per side. The middle hookup is ONLY used
for slings that have three sets of straps per side or slings that use chains or adjustable straps.
