6.1 Operating the Patient Lift

Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation and transferring from and transferring
to procedures, the equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the
evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case.

6.1.1 Closing/Opening the Legs of the Base Assembly

The shifter handle is used to open or close the legs of the base for stability when lifting a patient.
WARNING!
-The operation of the patient lift is an easy and safe procedure. DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the
patient's physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner's Manual, observe a
trained team of experts performing the lifting procedures, and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with
proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
-The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle locked in place 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 and
immediately lock the shifter handle.
