Product Description
Intended Use
The BestStand® SA182 and SA228 allow the patient to be lifted
and transferred safely with minimal physical effort provided by
the operator. The SA182 and SA228 use an electric actuator
to lift patients weighing up to 400lbs and 500lbs, respectively,
from a sitting to a standing position from either a bed or a chair
for transferring. The lift has a standing platform to be used while
transferring patient from one surface to another, also included
is a cushioned knee pad for additional comfort and support
while patient is being transferred. The SA182 and SA228 have
a compact base for maneuvering easily while still providing a
wide lifting range. The SA182 and SA228 are compatible with
the stand assist sling and sani-sling with the option to add the
knee and buttocks support straps.
The SA182 and SA228 are intended for patients who are
lacking leg strength in their lower extremities but are still able
to bear weight. The SA182 and SA228 are intended to assist
with standing from a seated position while using the commode,
changing clothes and/or to relieve pressure. The SA182 and
SA228 are intended to have one caregiver operate the lift to
perform the transfer. Transfers are intended to be performed on
a at, dry surface and lifts are not to be used in high humidity
environments for extended periods of time.

Safety Instructions
A BestStand® will provide years of service if it is properly maintained
as any electric and/or mechanical equipment requires. Please pay
careful attention to the following important information regarding the
care, maintenance, and operation of the patient lift. Carefully read
these instructions before assembling the lift, or attempting to lift a user
with the device.
• Before attempting to lift anyone, please practice operating the lift
and explain the lifting procedure to the user/patient.
• Special care must be taken with users/patients who cannot
themselves provide assistance while being lifted. (i.e. patients
who are comatose, spastic, agitated, or otherwise severely
handicapped.)
• The patient lift should be used solely for transferring a user/patient
from one utility (beds, chairs, toilets, etc.) to another. The patient lift
should not be used for transporting or moving any patient from one
location to another location.
• During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the base
of the lift in the widest position.
• The base of the lift should be closed before moving the lift.
• Do not roll casters over any object while the user/patient is in the
sling.
• Do not lock casters during lifting.
• While being lifted in a sling, always keep the user/patient centered
over the base and facing the caregiver operating the lifter.
• Never leave the user/patient unattended during lifting.
Service personnel may contact Bestcare for any information,
instructions, or certain parts for servicing purpose.

Double check all assemblies for tightness and read operating
instructions carefully prior to use.
PREPARATION BEFORE LIFTING
• Twist the RED EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON clockwise.
• Verify the Lifting and Lowering Functions by pressing either the UP or DOWN
button on the hand control once.
• Position the base of the lift around or under the object.
• Widen the base and disengage the caster brakes.

several practices in operating the product. Together (with the patients doctor,
nurse, or medical attendant) select a sling that is both practical and comfortable.
The sling selected should be one that serves the needs of the patient, while
providing the patient with optimal safety. Never interfere with the lift, unless
instructed by the attendant. Have a doctor, nurse, or medical attendant
(experienced in the use of the BestStand) present during the rst few times the
lift is used to transfer a new user.

For optimum performance the lift should be transported and stored in
following condition range:
• -25°C to +5°C (-13°F to 41°F), and
• +5°C to +35°C (41°F to 95°F) at a non-condensing relative humidity 0% to 90%
• +35°C to +70°C at a water vapor pressure up to 5 kPa
For optimum performance the lift should be operated in following condition
range:
• at a temperature range of +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F)
• at a non-condensing relative humidity range of 15 % to 90 %, but not requiring a
water vapor partial pressure greater than 5 kPa
• 70 kPa to 106 kPa atmospheric pressure
The lift will not have any potential electromagnetic or other interference with
other devices.
