HOW TO FIT FROM SEATED POSITION
1 2
Place the sling down the back of the client and position
just beneath the shoulder blades and above the belt line.
Attach the buckle strap around the front of the client. There
is no need for the buckle strap to be tight. The buckle strap
is a positioning mechanism and not a restraint.
NOTE: Padding behind the buckle straps does not need
to overlap.
Raise the client’s leg and feed the leg strap under and
up between the legs. Ensure that the sling fabric is not
twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure
for the other leg.

Cross over the leg straps and attach to the spreader bar
on the front hooks using the longest loop. Raise the hoist
and attach your desired shoulder loop to the rear hooks (a
more upright position will be achieved using the shortest
loop).
NOTE: The hoist may move towards the client.
NOTE: Some adjustment of the shoulder and/or leg loop
attachment points may be needed to better suit the client’s
height or body shape. Shoulder/leg loop attachment points
should be connected at a similar length in order to achieve
a balanced lift.
NOTE: This sling is not recommended for use from a lying position.
Raise the hoist to the required height. When reseating
the client, apply light pressure on the client’s thigh(s) to
ensure good posture is maintained.
