INSTRUCTIONS FOR

SLING APPLICATION

Always check the appropriate sling style, material and size

has been selected before applying the sling

• Always ensure the sling's label is on the outside.

• The top of the sling, parallel to the client's shoulders or square with their back,

should line up straight, or perpendicular, to the client's coccyx or tailbone.

• In a lying or sitting position, place the sling behind the client, positioning the top

of the sling opening (or apex of the aperture) at the base of the spine, or coccyx

area.

• Before raising, each of the sling's loops must be securely fastened to the

carry bar.

Guide each of the sling's legs along the

side of the client's hip before slipping it

underneath their thigh. The leg sections

of the sling should be smooth, not folded

or twisted.

Now feed one leg strap through the loop

located at the base of the other leg strap.

Attach the loops to the lift's carry bar. For

optimal balance during the transfer: apply

the same coloured loops on each side.

In general, to achieve a 90° seated

position, use short shoulder loops and

longer leg loops.
