ATTACHING THE SLING HARDWARE TO STANDARD/WRAP AROUND SLINGS
ATTACHING THE SLING HARDWARE
MODEL NO.:
9070 - Strap Kit (Can be used with Models
9040 - 9049 ONLY)
9071 - Chain Kit (Can be used with Models
9040 - 9049 ONLY)
The hardware used with the standard sling includes four
(4) metal support bars. The support bars insert into the
pockets at the edge of the fabric. The pocket that will hold
the metal bar has an opening in the center. The pocket is
sewn closed on one end and has an open-end with a
strap on the other.
NOTE: When the slings are laundered, remove the
four (4) metal support bars. They MUST be replaced
or the sling can not be used for lifting purposes.
Replacing the Four (4) Metal Support Bars in
the Sling (FIGURES 1A AND 1B)
NOTE: When inserting the support bar into the sling
pocket, align the metal support bar in the center of
the strap (after it has been pulled down) and then
push the metal support bar into the sling pocket. The
sling is sewn on both sides so the center location is
critical.
1. To insert the metal support bar, pull the strap down
allowing the bar to pass through the opening in the
sling pocket.
2. Push the metal support bar through until the mount-
ing hole clears the center opening of the sling pocket.

3. Once the opposite end of the bar is inside the sewn
pocket, push the strap over the metal support bar to
prevent it from coming out.
NOTE: The hole in the metal bar should be in the
center of the pocket opening. This is where the "S"
hook of the chain or strap will be attached.
