Safety Summary
NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the
Carrier/Dealer for further instructions.
NOTE:The stand up lift may be operated by one (1) healthcare professional for ALL lifting preparation, transferring from
and transferring to procedures with a cooperative, weight-bearing individual able to support the majority of his/her own
weight. However, since medical conditions vary, Invacare recommends that the healthcare professional evaluate the need for
assistance and determine whether more than one (1) assistant is appropriate in each case to safely perform the transfer.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical
assistant.Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of
experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times
with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
Individuals that use the Standing Sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own
weight, otherwise injury can occur.
DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transport sling otherwise
injury can occur.
Invacare standing and transport slings are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with
the Invacare Stand Up Lift. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers or other
Invacare slings are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s stand up lift system. Use of
these products is prohibited and will void Invacare’s stand up lift warranty. Use only genuine
Invacare standing and transport slings and lift accessories to maintain patient safety and product
utility. Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant
for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.
Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure the patient's feet
are out of the way of the footplate, otherwise injury can occur.
Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the
sling (standing or transport) from around the patient.
Invacare does NOT recommend locking the rear swivel casters of the stand up lift when lifting
and transferring an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and
assistants. Invacare DOES recommend that the rear swivel casters be left UNLOCKED during
lifting and transferring procedures to allow the stand up lift to stabilize itself when the patient is
initially lifted from and transferred to a chair, bed or any stationary object.
STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the standing sling in combination with the stand up lift as
a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another
(such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person using the standing sling in combination with
the stand up lift over ANY distance is NOT recommended.
STANDING SLINGS - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the standing sling
is positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient's arms are outside the standing
sling.

Safety Summary (continued)
STANDING SLINGS - The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the
patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury.
TRANSPORT SLINGS - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transport
sling is at the base of the spine and the patient's arms are outside the transport sling.
DO NOT use any kind of material (such as a plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion)
between the patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during
transferring.
ALWAYS use the colour coded strap on the standing sling closest to the patient while still
maintaining patient stability and comfort. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe
and could result in injury. Discard Immediately.
DO NOT alter slings.
When elevated a few inches off the surface being transferred from and before moving the
patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points
of the stand up lift. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back onto
the surface and correct this problem.
During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand up
lift over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or
obstacles that would create an imbalance of the stand up lift and could cause the stand up lift to
tip over.
Use push handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the stand up lift.
Casters and axle bolts require inspection every six (6) months to check for tightness and wear.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the
metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every six (6) months thereafter.
The electric motor is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the motor unit MUST BE
returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the motor or obtain local service
as this will VOID the warranty and may result in damage and a costly repair. Consult your
Dealer or Invacare for further information.
Regular maintenance of Stand Up Lift and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
WEIGHT LIMITATION
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the Stand Up Lift.The maximum weight
limitation is 440 lbs. regardless of any additional weight limitations on accessories.
