WARNING!
Risk of Injury
The lift could tip and endanger the patient and assistants.

position for optimum stability and safety. If it is
necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the
lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as
it takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the
patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of
the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of
the lift to the maximum open position.
