CAUTION
When using either the chains or straps to connect the sling to the patient lift, the short-
est of the two sections of the chains or straps MUST be attached to the back section of

position the longer section of chain or strap from the waist to the mid section of the thigh.

of the sling.

facing away from the patient. Refer to Detail “C”.
