SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Protekt® Take-A-Long 33400P patient lift reflects innovative state of
the art design to increase user mobility. Your Protekt® lift will provide years
of service if it is properly maintained as any piece of electrical/mechanical
equipment requires.
Please pay careful attention to the following important information
regarding the care, maintenance, and operation of the Protekt® Take-A-
Long 33400P patient lift. Carefully read these instructions before
assembling the lifter or attempting to lift any user with the device.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Special care must be taken with users/patients who cannot themselves
provide assistance while being lifted. (i.e. patients who are comatose,
spastic, agitated, or otherwise severely handicapped).
The Protekt® Lift 33400P should be used solely for transferring a user/
patient from one utility (beds, chairs, toilets, etc.) to another. The
patient lift should not be used for transporting or moving any patient
from one location to another location.
During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the base of
the lift in the widest position.
The base of the lift should be closed before moving the lift.
Do not roll casters over any object while the user/patient is in the sling.
Do not lock casters during lifting.
While being lifted in a sling, always keep the user/patient centered
over the base and facing the caregiver operating the lifter.
Maximum weight that can be safely lifted is 400 pounds.
Never leave the user/patient unattended during lifting.
The Protekt® Take-A-Long 33400P lift allows a person to be lifted
and transferred safely, with minimum physical effort provided by the
caregiver. Before attempting to lift anyone, please practice operating
the lift. Also prior to actual lifting, explain the lifting procedure to the
user/patient.
