2. Pull the leg sections through between the
client's legs. Lower the lift to the height of
the client's stomach. When a three-point
suspension is used, you should thread the
left leg section through the loop on the
outside of the right leg section. Attach the
leg section lifting straps to the leg hooks
on the lift. Turn the lift around and attach
the back section lifting straps to the hanger
bar. Hold the lift away from the client's
face with one hand as you raise it above
the client's head.
Alternative: The sling can also be used for
two-point suspension. In this case the loop
on the right leg section is not used. Instead
the leg sections are crossed.
3. Pause in this position and check that all the
lifting straps are securely attached to the
hooks.
4. Continue lifting the client. It may be ne-
cessary to lower the bed slightly. Raise the
client's legs slightly while turning him/her
away from the bed. It is a good idea to put
your arm around the client while you are
moving him/her to create a greater sense
of security.
