1. Turn the patient towards you. Place the
sling so that the product label is
facing the underlying surface and the sling's
mid-section follows the spine. The upper
edge of the sling should be high enough
so that the sling supports the head and the
lower edge is level with the tailbone. Place
the sling as far in under the patient as pos-
sible. Push the back-section loop under, so

that you can reach it once you have turned
the patient back onto the sling.
2. To reduce the number of application
steps, you can fold the back section up
against the patient's back and place the leg
supports between the patient's knees when
he/she is turned towards you, and then pull
them forward when the patient is lying on
the sling.
3. Turn the patient back onto the sling and
pull out the back section and leg support.
4. Cross the leg supports and hook them to
the slingbar.
Start raising the lift, when the straps become
taut, stop and check that everything is ok
before proceeding with the lift.
