Once you are happy that the sling has been correctly
tted. Attach the two shoulder straps onto the
spreader bar of the lift and then the two leg straps.
Color coding on the pick up loops are provided for ease
of reference and position.

Either 6.1, feed the head support strap through the
shoulder strap of the sling.
Then loop the head support strap back through the
plastic slider correctly. Adjust the head support to suit
patient’s needs by adjusting the amount of strap passed
through the slider.
When attaching hip tapes, the ideal pick up should
enable the pelvic area and the legs to pick-up
simultaneously.
Adjustment can be made by using the color coded
connections to enable the best pick-up.
Or 6.2, attach head support strap directly to the lift
spreader bar.
Then loop the head support strap back through the
plastic slider correctly. Adjust the head support to
suit patient’s needs by adjusting the amount of strap
passed through the slider.
Ensure that all straps are not twisted and are attached
securely before commencing the transfer.

General Instructions: Warning
Do not attempt to transfer the patient until
all appropriate sling attachments are secured to
the lift spreader bar and you are satised that the
sling is the correct style, size and t for the patient.
Correct sizing of a sling is important as a sling that is
too large could cause the patient to slip through the
aperture.
While every attempt is made to instruct a safe move
you must conform to the current moving and handling
procedures/regulations. If in any doubt, consult your
Moving and Handling Advisor.
