Kera FAQ’s and User tips
How tight do I need to do the straps?
As tight as possible while still comfortable.
If the straps are too loose, the Chestpad will slide up the person’s front
before you begin to lift them.
Tip: Tighten one strap at a time. Take a grip on the Caregiver Handle
with one hand, pull blue tap with other hand, in line with the straps.
?
How far forward do I need to bring the
person?
Until the handle is at your waist and they are in a
stable position.
The further forward the person is the less they will feel like they
might slip down the Chestpad. Their weight will be resting down
on the Chestpad rather than the Backstrap holding them up.
?
The Backstrap begins to slip up their back
and/or the person feels too hunched over
Start with the Backstrap fitted low on the back and
make sure it is as tight as possible.
Try pushing the Chestpad into their stomach by one or two more
holes in Step 3 (over page). This technique will result in the person
less hunched over when they are forward and the Backstrap
shouldn’t slip up as much during lifting.
