1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift Sit-to-Stand (STS) /

LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift Sit-to-Stand (STS). The following pages will provide you with important

safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories, as well as

maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating your patient

lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your authorized distributor and/or healthcare

professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating

your patient lift.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With

their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the

person being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and

weight and ability of the patient and the specic type of transfer needed.

Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is

damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc.

Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive maintenance

on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your authorized

Graham-Field distributor for service and repairs.

Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of

trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire

lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as

patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest that

the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is condent with

how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient before the

actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant and the

operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.

This guide covers the use of the LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift STS. Keep in mind

that the basic safety procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may nd it

necessary to develop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your

healthcare professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.

Info: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact your authorized

Graham-Field distributor if additional assistance is needed.

Info: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant”

and the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.
