3. Safety Precautions
Please read and follow the safety precautions listed below. The operation and use
of Hoyer products is simple and straightforward. Following these few basic safety
precautions will make transfer operations easy and trouble free.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE USER INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR UP.

WARNING
• ALWAYS carry out a full and thorough risk assessment prior to using the Up.
• In order to use the Up safely, the patient must display the following abilities:
• Support their own body weight while standing
• Maintain balance for an extended period while standing (with support)
• A firm grip in order to grasp the frame handles for support and stability
• Ability to understand and carry out instruction
• The Up is intended for short transfers on flat/even floors.
• ALWAYS plan your transfer operations before commencing.
• ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST before using this product.
• ALWAYS familiarise yourself with the operating devices and safety features of this
product before use.
• DO NOT use a sling or belt unless it is recommended for use with the device.
• ALWAYS check the sling/belt is suitable for the particular patient and is of the correct
size and capacity.

prior to asking them to stand.
• When transferring to or from a wheeled/movable surface such as a commode, wheel
chair or bed, ensure the brakes (of that surface) are applied to avoid any inadvertent
movement and ensure a safer, more stable transfer.

Once the patient is in position and standing, the seat pads can be swung back into the seated
position, allowing the patient to sit down.

open the legs, push down the left hand pedal. To close, push down the right hand pedal.
