SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Protekt® Take-A-Long 33400P patient lift reflects innovative state of
the art design to increase user mobility. Your Protekt® lift will provide years
of service if it is properly maintained as any piece of electrical/mechanical
equipment requires.
Please pay careful attention to the following important information
regarding the care, maintenance, and operation of the Protekt® Take-A-
Long 33400P patient lift. Carefully read these instructions before
assembling the lifter or attempting to lift any user with the device.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
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 Protekt® Lift 33400P 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.
Maximum weight that can be safely lifted is 400 pounds.
Never leave the user/patient unattended during lifting.
The Protekt® Take-A-Long 33400P lift allows a person to be lifted
and transferred safely, with minimum physical effort provided by the
caregiver. Before attempting to lift anyone, please practice operating
the lift. Also prior to actual lifting, explain the lifting procedure to the
user/patient.

WARNING!
Do not attempt to transfer a patient without prior approval of the
patient’s primary caregiver. Also, do not transfer without having
studied the instructions and practiced operating the lift and sling
several times. Together with the patient’s 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
Protekt® Lift 33400P) present during the first few times the lift is
used to transfer a new user.
WARNING!
Proactive Medical slings are specially designed to be used in
conjunction with Proactive lifts. Do not use slings manufactured
by other companies with any of Proactive Medical’s equipment.

IS UNSAFE AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO USERS
AND CAREGIVERS. PROACTIVE MEDICAL is not responsible for
any consequence resulting from the use of non-Proactive slings
on this equipment.
WARNING!
Do not put anything (e.g. cushion, pad, etc.) between the user and
the sling. This may cause the user/patient to slide out of the sling
and cause injury.
WARNING!
