1 .02 Purpose
The sling can be used to lift or move a person with reduced mobil-
ity at hospitals, assisted living facilities, physical therapy centres,
riding schools, swimming baths and in private homes.
The sling is designed for use in both mobile lifters and lifting hoist
systems. The Basic Comfort High sling is ideal for lifting a person
in and out of a bed and wheelchair in a seated position. Use the
head support when lifting from a lying position.
Conditions for use
The use of the sling is subject to the following:
• The sling is used by trained staff or persons who have been
instructed in the use of the sling in question.
• The correct size of sling is used.
• The maximum nominal load, 255 kg (560 lbs) must not be
exceeded.
• The sling is used for lifting a person in seated as well as lying
positions.
• The helper pays attention to the well-being of the user when
using the sling.
• The sling is used with the Guldmann lifting hanger.
1 .03 Important/Precautions
• Read the instructions carefully before using the sling.
• The slings maximum load must never be exceeded.
• The sling may only be used to lift a person.
• Before a sling is used, it must be examined according to point
2.02.
• Never use a sling that is too big for the user.
• Possible repairs must only be made by the manufacturer.
1 .04 Use
If there is any doubt about the selection or use of a lifting
sling, please contact your supplier.

Important!

Plan the move. Never leaving the user in the lifting sling unat-
tended. Do not start to lift until it has been checked that the user
cannot get trapped and that the sling does not catch on the bed,
wheelchair or other obstacles. The user's head, arms, hands and
feet must not be in danger of becoming trapped. Be careful with
any tubes and wires that are attached to the user and/or equip-
ment. Check that the hand control and hand control cable is free
of hanger, patient and other object before the hoist is activated up
or down moved.
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incor-
rect use of the lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention
on the part of the carer or user. If the sling is used in combination
with products that are not manufac-tured by Guldmann, a risk as-
sessment must be made by qualified staff.
