Press the UP button on the handset. Keep the button pressed until the client is at the desired height. Release the button and the unit will stop.

1. Ensure the sling is properly placed around the patient according to the documentation that comes with the sling. 2. Choose the color of the loop you will need for the position you will be placing the patient in.

To lower the patient Press the DOWN button on the handset. Keep the button pressed until the patient is at the desired height. Release the button and the unit will stop. Auxiliary UP and DOWN buttons are located on the control box attached to the mast. These controls serve two functions: They are secondary controls in the event the handset stops functioning or if two attendants are involved in the transfer, one can use the auxiliary controls while the other moves into a position where they are with the patient continuously. (Fig. 9)

WARNING: Always use the same color loop on the rear shoulder straps for both sides of the sling. Use the same color loop on the hip straps for both sides of the sling.

3. Ensure the patient’s arms are inside the sling and that it is not caught on any obstructions (e.g. wheelchair brake or handle). For more information about sling use, please refer to the Instruction for Use that comes with your sling.

Operating the Graduate device is spring loaded and will return to normal when released and will stop the lowering process).

Transferring the Patient Most patients can be rotated a full 360° with no restriction, even at elevated levels. This makes it easier for a wheelchair patient to be maneuvered using front or side entry, as required. This ability to rotate patients also allows the attendant to position properly the patient when performing a transfer to and from bed.

WARNING: Gradually pull on the handle. The force exerted on the handle determines the speed of descent (Fig. 10).

When the patient is in a sling facing the mast, lower the patient to the lowest convenient height above the floor. This will provide added stability and comfort to the patient. Handles are provided on both sides of the total lift slings to allow better positioning for the caregiver, enhancing patient safety. WARNING: BEFORE LIFTING THE PATIENT: 1. Make sure that all straps are attached to the spreader bar. 2. Make sure the patient is comfortable. 3. Make sure the sling is not caught on an obstruction (wheelchair brake or arm of chair). If any of the above occurs – lower the patient immediately and correct the problem.
