3. Safety Precautions
Please read and follow the safety precautions listed below. The operation and use
of Oxford products is simple and straightforward. Following these few basic safety
precautions will make transfer operations easy and trouble free.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE USER INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR UP.
WARNING: Important safety information for hazards that might cause serious injury.
CAUTION: Information for preventing damage to the product.
NOTE: Information to which you should pay special attention.
WARNING

• Support their own body weight while standing
• Maintain balance for an extended period while standing (with support)
• A firm grip in order to grasp the frame handles for support and stability
• Ability to understand and carry out instruction
• The Up is intended for short transfers on flat/even floors.
• ALWAYS plan your transfer operations before commencing.
• ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST before using this product.
• ALWAYS familiarise yourself with the operating devices and safety features of this
product before use.
• DO NOT use a sling or belt unless it is recommended for use with the device.
• ALWAYS check the sling/belt is suitable for the particular patient and is of the correct
size and capacity.

• ALWAYS fit a sling/belt according to the user instructions provided.
• ALWAYS check the safe working load of the product(s) is/are suitable for the weight of
