#Invacare Lifting Frame Safe Working Load: 230kg.

Assemble the Pro-Med Lifting Frame: LIFTING FRAME 1. Assemble lifting frame by locking the two halves together (see diagram) and place over the patient. If the patient is attached to apparatus such as drips, monitors etc., the unassembled frame needs to be placed around the patient first before assembly.

GLIDERS Caution: Do not use a glider that is damaged. Pass the single hole end of a glider under the patient. If skin is exposed, apply talcum powder to the glider first. Attach to a support peg on the frame at a strategic point. Tension the glider by selecting the appropriate hole at the glider's other end. Employ a sufficient number of gliders to provide a cradle support. It is recommended that a minimum of 9 standard gliders and 1 head glider be used for patients exceeding 70kg. Gliders can be fitted diagonally to avoid injured areas. Similarly, a glider can be left out for toileting or wound dressing etc. Assembling a lifting frame is easier with two people, one either side of the patient

2. Widen the leg base of the lifter and position the lifter around the head of the frame.

3. Lower the boom of the lifter towards the patient stopping about a metre above the patient, allowing enough space to attach the straps.

5. Attach the Floor Lift Straps to the Frame Use the longest straps. Attach front keyhole buckles to the inner most studs and rear keyhole buckles to outer most studs.

6. Lift the frame with the brakes on the lifter ON. One person is required at the foot end of the lifting frame to pull, and guide the frame clear of the lifter legs and electrics during the lift.

NB: The frame will lift on an incline so that the lifter does not over-balance (i.e. the head end of the frame will be higher than the foot end). This is unavoidable.

7. Raise the lifting frame about one metre off the ground or until clear of hospital bed. With the assistance of two carers, rotate frame to 90 degrees.

REMOVAL OF GLIDERS To release a glider from a stud, pull the glider gently so that the stud clears the keyhole and lift. If the glider is difficult to remove, employ a twisting motion.

HIGH LIFT MANOEUVRE A lift from bed-to-bed can be achieved by using the BLUE loops attached to all hooks on the 4 Point Yoke and the shorter keyhole buckles straps attached to the frame. When undertaking a high lift manoeuvre, make sure the head end keyhole buckles are connected to the outer most studs. The keyhole buckles at the foot end should be connected to the inner most stud.
