Transfer

Lowering into sitting

Try to position the user as low as possible (preferably resting the feet on the chassis) when transferring the lifter with a suspended user. In this way the centre of gravity will be low and reduce the risk of instability.

When transferring the user into sitting, the following techniques can be used when lowering the user as far back into the seat as possible: A P osition the user with the help of the push handle B P ush gently on the users knees C T ilt the seat backwards

Never lift the user higher than necessary to carry out a lift. Remember that wheels on a mobile lift must NOT be locked.

User must be facing lifter when lifting or lowering from or into a chair.

Never leave a user unattended in a lifting situation. Be careful during movement, the suspended user may swing during turns, stops and starts. Be careful when manoeuvring close to furniture to prevent the suspended user from colliding with these objects. The lifter shall not be used to lift or move users on sloping surfaces Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven surfaces or other obstacles that may block the castors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.
