The Boom of the lift does not swivel. The patient's weight must be centered over the base legs at all times. Do not attempt to lift patient with the mast/boom assembly swiveled to either side. Always keep patient facing the attendant operating the lifter.

• Manual and Powered Hoyer Lifts operate similarly. The manual versions have hydraulic cylinders and a hand-pump, the powered patient lifters use rechargeable battery packs and a pushbutton hand control. All lifts share the same nomenclature names as pictured (left).
• To raise the patient the base of the Hoyer Lifter must be spread to it's widest possible position to maximize stability.
• To lower patient open the hydraulic pressure release knob by turning it counter-clockwise, not more than one full turn. The release knob is located on pump near pump handle. Battery powered Lifters have a button on the hand control for lowering patient.

1. With the legs of the base open and locked, use the steering handle to push the patient lift into position.
2. Lower the patient lift for easy attachment of the sling.

• When the patient is clear of the bed surface, swing their feet off the bed.
• Using the steering handle, move the lift away from the bed.
• When moving the patient lift away from the bed, turn the patient so that he/she faces assistant operating the patient lift.
• Press the DOWN button (electric) or open the control valve (manual/hydraulic) lowering patient so that his feet rest on the base of the lift, straddling the mast. Close the control valve.

The Sling
The U-Sling is the most commonly used sling for transferring patient from bed. Consult the sling manual on how to fold the sling before placing under patient. Folding the sling makes for less work. These U-Sling wraps around the thigh and cross between the legs. This gives the patient a secure feel and prevents patient sliding out of the sling.

Below is a diagram of a typical "Internet image" (see diagram 1) of a typical padded U-Sling. The image is meaningless if you do not have a visual of what this looks like when in actual use. See diagram 2 showing the patient in a comfortable seated position facing the attendant. Feet should rest on the base of the lift.

• Roll patient so the are resting on their side. Put the folded sling behind patient's back and roll patient onto their back.
• Pull the leg loops forward and under the thigh.
• Cross the loops
• Roll the base as far under the bed as possible locating the cradle over the patient. Be careful not lower the frame onto the patient.
• The parking brakes (caster locks) should not be on when lifting the patient, let the lift move a little with the weight adjustment.
• When both sides of the sling are attached to their respective sides of the cradle, raise the patient slowly. If patient is in a hospital bed it will help to raise the head section slightly.
• Raise the patient until buttocks are just above the mattress. The self-leveling cradle will bring patient into a sitting position. Grasp patient's legs and turn patient so their legs dangle off side off the bed. Do not push or pull patient off of bed. Lower bed if you need more clearance.
• Grasp steering handles and move lifter away from the bed. Move patient into position over the seat of wheelchair. Make sure wheelchair brakes are on.
• Lower patient into wheelchair or other transport device.

Draw sheet roll the patient onto the sling, ensuring that the top of the commode aperture is at the base of the spine.

Bring the leg support straps up and between the client's legs and proceed as from the seated position, attaching to the shortest possible loops. If you are going to place the patient on a high bed it may be necessary to lower the patient onto an intermediate surface and adjust the strap length.

Hammertoes, if left untreated, can develop into a painful and permanent deformity. Often, the failure to use corrective shoes places additional pressure on the toes. This unnatural pressure serves to further aggravate the hammertoe deformity. Extra-wide shoes feature wide toe boxes enabling the toes to rest evenly across the shoe’s surface. In addition, our corrective shoes reduce friction and relieve pressure by providing the necessary room for removable insoles found in deep depth shoes.

Spring section

The foot-spring and head-spring sections latch together in the center.  This is best achieved by setting these sections on their side approximately 90° from each other as in the figure below:

Hook the bottom head spring center mounting latch to the bottom foot spring center mounting rivet.  This is easier to do if the beds are on their sides.

Take a look at the spring section and you will see all the spring-links that connect the two sides together to give one complete surface for the mattress.  Lift the head spring away from the bed frame to give slack to the links. Connect the spring links together with the links provided:

Install the head/footboard caster wheels before attaching the spring base to the head/footboards.  If you have 2 locking casters and 2 without locks, install the locking casters diagonally opposite from one another.  The head and footboard pieces may be referred to as universal bed ends and depending on the brand and model of your hospital bed, the headboard may be the same as the footboard, but not always.

Head and Foot Boards have a (receiver) gear that bed-ends attach to.

• Stand one bed end as close to the head spring section as possible.

• Grasp the head spring section, by the side, and raise it until the rivets on the corner plates of the spring section are high enough to place into the corner locks on the bed end.

• Tilt the bed end toward the head spring section and place the rivets into the corner locks.

• Return the universal bed end to its full upright position. The head spring rivets will lock into place

• Repeat the same procedure for other bed end.

Notice at the foot-end of the bed, the footboard has a place in the center where the drive motor engages directly into the footboard.  This must be completed so that the drive rod coming from the motor matches up with the footboard. You will also notice that this drive rod is spring-loaded so it can be compressed and released into the footboard.

This drive-shaft is what raises/lowers the entire bed.  At the headboard there is a "T" device where the rod connects.  at the foot-end, the rod attaches directly to the "T" shaft coming out of the motor.  This drive-rod is spring loaded and must be slightly compressed and released to secure to the end "T" points.  So the drive rod runs from the headboard directly to the drive motor.

• Remove and discard the plastic caps from each end of the drive shaft
• Press spring button on the inner shaft and insert the inner shaft into the outer shaft
• Engage the spring button into the proper positioning hole
• Attach the inner shaft to the bottom gear box output shaft on the head end of the bed

• Push in on the spring loaded end of the drive shaft and attach to the foot end of the bed

• Ensure the Hi/Lo motor output shaft spring‐loaded coupler is properly aligned with the foot end gear box

Testing

Plug-in the bed and try each individual control button on the hand pendant.  If one of the functions is not working properly, troubleshooting is straightforward.  The foot-end raise/lower function is usually the least troublesome since it is already pre-assembled.  The head-end raise/lower function will perform properly if the "pull-tube" (above) is connected properly.  The bed hi/low function is usually where self-installers have a problem since the drive shaft/rod must connect properly into the footboard.  If the Bed won't raise/lower correctly, check the drive rod connections and make sure the "T" shafts are locked into the rod and not just free-spinning. If the head end of the bed is raising/lowering, but the foot end is not, you will need to inspect the connection between the drive motor rod and the footboard of the bed.

The difference between 2-Way, 3-Way and Infinite position lift chairs is in the recline mechanism.

• The 2-way lift chair pictured above has the gap between ottoman and seat.
• The 3-way chair pictured above does not have a gap.
• Infinite Position Lift Chairs do not have a gap.

If you are not familiar with slings, these examples will help clarify what they look like in actual use and assist you in determining which style sling works best for your particular needs.

This is the standard quick-fit, universal sling that works for 85% of patients. It is available in all sizes from XS to XL. This is the easiest sling to use for wheelchair transfers because the bottom is open and the patient is not sitting on the sling. Simply pull the back support down behind the patient's back and the long leg straps wrap around the thigh of the leg.

This specialized sling incorporates more back and head support with padded leg straps. Available in sizes XS to XL. Works best for patient's that go into extension or have involuntary movements or behavioral problems.

This sling is a development of the Quick-Fit design and is suitable for 95% of patients. This type of sling also gives the patient a secure feeling and is also recommended for amputees. Available in XS to XL sizes.

This sling is designed specifically to facilitate the toileting procedure by allowing the removal of clothing. Patient must be in a sitting position to use this sling. It has an open bottom with leg straps muck like the U-Sling.

Full Body Hammock Slings are available in Medium, Large and Extra-Large sizes. The simplest type of sling. Available in padded (shown) or mesh. It also provides head support.

As you can see from the photo, the patients knees are pressed together and "crunching" appears in the shoulders. Some patients may find the lateral "crunching" uncomfortable or even painful.

The Hammock style sling can be a bit of a problem when transferring to a wheelchair since the patient is sitting on the sling. If this is the case, see U-Slings, where the bottom is open and the sling is easy to get off patient.

The Hammock Sling is also available with a commode opening.

Divided Leg Slings are available in Medium, Large and Extra-Large sizes.

Unlike the Hammock Sling, the Divided-Leg Sling separates the legs and the shoulders have plenty room. The Divided Leg Sling also provides head support. The patient has a more secure feeling in this type of sling.

This Toileting Sling has a wide back-strap that goes around the patient's back and under the arms with a nice wide leg strap that wraps around the thigh of the leg and up-and-between the legs. This sling does not have head support, the patient must be able to support themselves from the shoulders up.

Works on any 2, 4, or 6-point lift.
