INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift Sit-to-Stand (STS) / LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift Sit-to-Stand (STS). 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 authorized distributor 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 authorized distributor for service and repairs.

Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with 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 withhow 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 and common sense when operating a patient lift.

This guide covers the use of the LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift STS. Keep in mind that the basic safety procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may find it necessary to develop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your healthcare professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.

Info: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact your Graham Field authorized distributor if additional assistance is needed.

Info: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant” and the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.
