ATTACHING THE SLING HARDWARE TO STANDARD/WRAP AROUND SLINGS
Attaching the Chains or Straps to the Slings
(FIGURE 2)
NOTE: Each sling will work with either a pair of chain
assemblies or a pair of strap assemblies.
When using either the chains or straps to connect
the sling to the patient lift, the shortest of the two (2)
sections of the chains or straps MUST be attached
to the back section of the sling. Using the long sec-
tion will leave little or no support for the patient's
back.
1. With the patient laying on his/her back and positioned
properly in the sling, lay the chains or straps on the bed
next to the sling (FIGURE 2).

are inserted into the metal support bar of the sling.

the support bar with the open end facing away from
the patient (FIGURE 2).
