SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES ƽ WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as Owner's Manuals, Service Manuals or Instruction Sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the Dealer for further instructions. The Invacare patient lift is not a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person suspended in a sling over any distance is not recommended. DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient's physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner's Manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient. Use common sense while operating lifts. Special care MUST be taken with people with disabilities who cannot cooperate while being lifted. Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare's patient lift system. Assembling the Lift DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets. Operating the Lift Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case. DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for the 9805 and the 9805P lifts is 450 lbs. Portable Patient Lift and Sling 10 Part No 1024492
