When placing a paent in a wheelchair, it is important that the paent is far back in the chair in order to sit well. There are
several ways to accomplish this.
In order to facilitate placement in the
wheelchair, the chair can be leaned
back during the lowering sequence. Let
the buocks slide down along the back
support for the nal part. Monitor the
locaon of the wheelchair with your foot
on the pping protecon plate.
An alternate method is to apply slight
pressure under the paent’s knees during
the lowering sequence so that the buocks
are pressed in against the back support. If
there is a handle on the sling, this can be
used to steer.
Liing to a Wheelchair
After a completed lift to a chair or
wheelchair, disconnect the strap loops
from the sling bar and fold the sling out
of the way.
Liing from a Wheelchair
Make sure that the sling is placed correctly before transferring the paent from the wheelchair.
Somemes, the paent may have shied forward in the wheelchair, and on the sling as well. The sling should cover at least
half of the boom of the thigh to ensure a safe li. If this is not the case, the paent should be posioned manually to an
appropriate posion.
NOTE! Excessive force on the handles
can cause the sling to tear.
Do not use the handles to li!
