LF2020/LF2090 Sit-To-Stand Patient Lift Owner’s Manual 3

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Lumex
patient lift. The following pages will provide you
with important safety and operating instructions
on the use of patient lifts, slings, and
accessories, as well as maintenance and
warranty information. Read this manual
carefully before operating your patient lift and
refer to it as often as needed. Consult your
Graham-Field Health Products dealer and/or
healthcare professional with any questions or
concerns regarding safe and effective
techniques for operating your patient lift.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior
approval of the patient’s healthcare provider.
With their assistance, select the sling that best
serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of
the person being lifted. It is important that you
use correct slings adapted to the body shape and
weight and ability of the patient and the specific
type of transfer needed.

Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each
use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is
damaged, there are no loose or broken parts,
that all patient lift parts are in the proper place,
etc. Immediately replace any worn or broken
components. Your patient lift should receive
maintenance on a regular schedule and should
be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact
your Graham-Field Health Products dealer for
service and repairs.

Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the
instructions in this manual. Observe a team of
trained experts perform the lifting procedures.
The operator should practice the entire lifting
procedure several times with proper
supervision and a capable individual acting as
patient. It is extremely important to know how a
patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest
that the operator try all the various lifting slings
and equipment until the operator is confident
with how the patient lift operates. The lifting
procedures should be explained to the patient
before the actual lifting. Remember that safety
requires the constant attention of the lift
occupant and the operator. Use extreme care
when operating a patient lift.

This guide covers the use of the LF2020/LF2090
Sit-to-Stand Patient Lift. Keep in mind that the
basic safety procedures included in this manual
are to be used as a guide only. Again, consult
your healthcare professionals for their
recommendations and never hesitate to ask for
their assistance.

Note: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift,

refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this
manual. Contact your Graham-Field Health
Products dealer if additional assistance is
needed.
