slings available from Invacare®makes it easy to adjust the hoist for optimum patient care.

The hoist must be carefully supervised if the patient is a child.

Please note that it is more difficult to manoevre the hoist on carpeted or uneven/textured

sur-

faces as opposed to wooden or flat surfaces; this is due to the starting forces required to

initiate the movement that may create additional friction exerted on the castors.

It is recommended not to move the user with the jib at maximum height. Take great care

when moving the hoist on carpeted, wet, slippery, rough or uneven surfaces. Never use on

slopes.

Caution! Never attempt to lift a patient outside the base area of the hoist. When lifting a

patient from the floor, the patient must always be located between the two hoist legs,

and never outside this area. To avoid injury, utmost care must be taken when raising and

lowering a patient.

It is important that the cables do not become entrapped or jammed in moving parts and

castors during operation and transport.

Important! Invacare®recommend that operation of any mobile lifting equipment is carried

out by personnel with prior professional training in moving and handling techniques.

Always choose the sling design and size according to the patient’s weight, size and physical

ability.

Always ensure, that the sling is applied correctly. Never leave a patient in the sling

unattended.

Please ensure that the hoist is not exposed to water, as this can cause damage.
