The ELK by Mangar International, is a four compartment emergency lifting cushion, which, when operated

by a person experienced in its use, is designed to lift a person from the oor, to an elevated sitting

position. Transfer to a chair or help to a standing position can then be offered. The ELK is powered by a

Mangar International Battery Airo compressor and controlled using a Mangar International 4-Way Hand
Control. Please refer to the separate Airo compressor instructions before operating.

WARNINGS

• This equipment must only be used by persons
practiced in its use.

• To maintain stability, persons being lifted must

have the assistance of one or more competent

assistants.

• Users should assess what assistance may be
required before commencing a lift.

• Ensure that the surface on which the ELK is to
be placed, is free from sharp objects. NOTE:
Place a blanket, groundsheet, towel or similar
under the ELK if using it on a rough surface.

• While in use, never allow a chamber to become

partially deated while any chambers above it
are inated. Chambers must always be fully
inated from the bottom up, in sequence, in

order to maintain stability.

Positioning the ELK

• Place the patient in the recovery position if
they are unable to transfer themselves onto the

ELK.

• Unroll the ELK by unclipping the ap (A g.1)
from the ends of the stability bar (B).

• Remove the end cap and then the stability bar
from its pocket (B g. 2) in order to provide a
more comfortable transfer for the patient.

• Fold the edge of the ELK underneath itself, by
folding along the line of the stability bar pocket

(g. 3).

• Position the ELK so that its ‘upper’ edge is

approximately level with and tight up against
the patient’s waistband (g.4). NOTE: Place a

blanket, groundsheet, towel or similar under
the ELK if using it on a rough surface.
