WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

The EZ Light Lift is a versatile patient lift which allows you to perform transfers into and out of a car as well as

most common lifting situations.

The EZ Light Lift is lightweight, compact, and foldable. It allows for easy storage when not in use, and can be

stored in the trunk of a car for transfers away from home. It has a 300 lb. weight capacity and weighs just 58 lbs.

Safety Notes

The patient’s condition must be considered when determining the safest method for transferring the patient and

common sense must be utilized to determine if an individual is combative or has certain contraindications that

may deem them inappropriate for transfer with a lift.

When using the EZ Light Lift for extraction from a vehicle, great care should be taken when operating the lift

outdoors. The lift should not be operated on a steep incline and the area should be clear of debris. The lift is not

for use as a transporting device, but for point to point transfers.

EZ Way designs slings speciﬁcally for use with the EZ Light Lift. For the safety of the patient, do not use any

other type or brand of sling with the EZ Light Lift.

The EZ Light Lift has special locking casters on the front of the lift. Follow all instructions for locking and

unlocking the casters. See page 7 for instructions.

Do not push, pull, or use the actuator (motor)

as a handle for maneuvering the lift.

WARNING:

Operators must read this operators’ manual and

complete the EZ Light Lift Training Checklist prior

to using the lift. It is also recommended that

operators practice operating the lift prior to using

with patients.

WARNING:

Keep the area clear between the actuator and

the mast.

Sling information and diagram

The EZ Light Lift uses a specially designed sling. Do not use slings that are not designed for use with the EZ

Light Lift.

As patients vary in size, shape, and weight, these conditions must be taken into consideration when deciding

which size EZ Way sling is suitable for each patient’s needs. The slings are available in various sizes. Please

contact EZ Way with any questions regarding sling dimensions and sizes.

To order slings call 1-800-627-8940.

Transferring in and out of a vehicle

The EZ Light Lift can be used for transfers into and

out of a vehicle. Transfers are easiest to accomplish

from the front seat.

The lift should not be used on steep inclines. When

the lift is being used on moderate inclines, the

front casters should be locked to prevent swiveling.

These casters should be unlocked for all other lifting

situations. To transfer into or out of a vehicle,

follow the instructions for transfers from a seated

position.

Transferring patient from a seated

position

Step 1

Apply the sling

1) Lean the patient forward a few inches to place

the sling behind the patient.

2) Slide the sling down between the patient and

the back of the chair, making sure the washing

labels face the chair and the handle on the

sling faces outward and is in the middle of the

patient’s back. The base of the sling should

touch the chair and the head support strap

should be above the patient’s shoulders.

(See Figure 15)

3) Lean the patient back in the chair.

4) Pull each leg strap of the sling along the side

of each of the patient’s legs. To set the sling

properly and remove any slack in the material,

push the sling down towards the seat of the

chair near the patient’s hip and give the sling

leg a tug. Repeat this process on the opposite

side.

5) Lift the patient’s knee and pull the thigh strap

under the patient’s thigh and wrap it around to

the top of the leg. Choose a loop on the thigh

strap that will provide the tightest ﬁt around the

leg and pull the leg strap through the loop on

the thigh strap. Repeat process on opposite leg.

(See Figure 16)

Step 2

Position the lift

1) Position the lift so the tip of the boom is directly

in front of the patient’s torso. Make sure the

wheels of the EZ Light Lift are unlocked.

2) Use the hand control to lower the lift so the

hanger bar is approximately at the same level as

the patient’s chest.

3) Hook the left leg strap to the hanger bar hook

on the left side and the right leg strap to the

hanger bar hook on the right side.

(See Figure 17)

Figure 15 - Slide sling behind patient

Figure 16 - Pull leg strap through thigh loop

Figure 17 - Hook leg strap to hanger bar

Note: There are several loops to choose which

will adjust the recline angle when lifted. For a

more upright posture, choose the longest straps.

For a more reclined posture, choose the shortest

straps. When lifting from a car, use the shortest

straps possible. Always use the same length of

strap on each side.

4) Hook the left torso strap to the hanger bar hook

on the left side and the right torso strap to the

hanger bar hook on the right side.

(See Figure 18)

5) Loosen the head support strap and attach it to

the center post at the end of the boom. Tighten

the head support strap to control recline angle.

(See Figure 19)

6) Use the hand control to carefully raise the lift

and raise the patient from the seat. After the

patient is clear of the seat, grasp the handles

of the lift and move the patient to the desired

transfer location. (See Figure 20)

Transferring patient from a supine

position

Step 1

Apply the sling

1) Log roll the patient on his/her side away from

you.

2) Position the sling so the handles on the back of

the sling are facing the mattress. Tuck half of

sling underneath patient.

3) Using the handle as a guide, center the sling

on the patient’s spine with the base of the sling

approximately two inches below the base of the

tailbone. (See Figure 21)

4) Log roll patient towards you in and pull the rest

of the sling out the other side.

5) Lay patient on their back. Make sure the sling is

centered underneath the patient.

position - continued

6) Lift the patient’s knee and pull the thigh strap

under the patient’s thigh and wrap it around to

the top of the leg. Choose a loop on the thigh

strap that will provide the tightest ﬁt around the

leg and pull the leg strap through the loop on

the thigh strap. Repeat process on opposite leg.

(See Figure 22)

Step 2

Position the lift

1) Position the lift so the tip of the boom is directly

above the patient’s torso. Use the hand control

to lower the lift so the hanger bar is just above

the patient’s navel. Make sure all EZ Light Lift

wheels are unlocked.

2) Hook the left leg strap to the hanger bar hook

on the left side and the right leg strap to the

hanger bar hook on the right side. Note: There

are several loops to choose which will adjust the

recline angle when lifted. For a more upright

posture, choose the longest straps. For a more

reclined posture, choose the shortest straps.

Always use the same length of strap on each

side.

3) Hook the left torso strap to the hanger bar hook

on the left side and the right torso strap to the

hanger bar hook on the right side.

4) Loosen the head support strap and attach it to

the center post at the end of the boom. Tighten

the head support strap to control recline angle.

5) Use the hand control to carefully raise the

lift and raise the patient. After the patient is

clear of the bed, grasp the handles of the lift

and move the patient to the desired transfer

location. (See Figure 23)

2) After the patient has been lowered, unhook all

straps from the lift and move the lift away from

the patient.

3) Remove the leg straps from the thigh straps.

Lift knee and remove thigh strap from under leg.

Repeat for other leg.

4) Lean patient forward a few inches and grasp the

sling. Remove sling by pulling upward.

Transfer to supine position

1) Position patient over bed or gurney. Make sure

all EZ Light Lift wheels are unlocked. Lower

the patient using the hand control.

2) After the patient has been lowered, unhook all

straps from the lift and move the lift away from

the patient.

3) Remove the leg straps from the thigh straps.

Step 2

Attach sling

Follow same procedure used when lifting patient

from a supine position (See pages 8 & 9). You

will, however, have to use the longest loops at the

patient’s torso and the legs as well as lengthen the

head support strap.

Step 3

Lift patient

Follow same procedure used when lifting patient

from bed (See page 9).

Important: Before lifting, make sure the sling is

not snagged on any objects or beneath the casters

or legs of the lift. The sling should be free from

obstruction.
