ƽ WARNING

The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle

locked in place for optimum stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of

the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it

takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the

bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift

to the maximum open position and lock the shifter handle immediately.
