Assembly Instructions

Carefully remove all of the parts from the packaging. 

Put the base on a level surface and activate the locking brake to prevent the base from moving during assembly.

Place the frame tubes into the mounts on the base making sure making sure that the knee pads are facing towards the rear of the base.  Using the star knobs provided secure the frame to the base.

Unlock the brakes on the base plate.  The unit is now ready for use.

Adjusting the Product

Lower leg supports:

The transfer aid includes two PU pads to support the user’s lower leg, which can be adjusted in height and width to suit the individual user. To adjust the height of the knee pad bracket, squeeze the spring clip buttons on each frame upright and then move the knee pad up or down to the desired height.  Ensure the spring clips are fully engaged before use. The lower leg supports can also be adjusted in angle to suit the user by simply tilting up or down as necessary. The knee pads can be moved closer together or further apart by sliding the pads along the bar.

If using a sling:

There are 4 knobs on the upper handle to support a sling or ladder belt as required.

Operating the brakes:

The brakes should be applied by the assistant before the user mounts or dismounts the transfer aid. The brakes on both wheels are operated by one foot. Press down on either the right-hand side or left-hand side RED pad to lock the brake. Press GREEN pad to unlock the brake.

Transferring the User

1. Position the user so they are sat in a chair, wheelchair or on the edge of the bed. If the user is sat on a wheelchair, ensure the brakes are applied on the wheelchair and the leg rests removed or swung out prior to transfer.
2. The assistant should position the device so that the user or assistant can place the user’s feet on to the footplate. Once the user’s feet are on the footplate, the assistant should apply the brakes.
3. The assistant should position the height of the lower leg support so that the tops of the pad are just below the knees of the user.
4. The assistant should stand behind the device and support / counterbalance it whilst the user uses the handle to support themselves, whilst they stand on the footplate and move from a sitting position to a standing position.
5. Once the user has securely reached a standing position, the assistant should release the brakes and move the transfer aid into the correct position, so the user is ready to lower into the required seat. The assistant should move the transfer aid using the handle. The device should move freely. Note: Do not tilt or lever the transfer aid. The whole footplate should remain in contact with the floor at all times.
6. Once near the required seat, the user should have their back to the seat and be able to feel the edge of the seat on the back of their legs.
7. The assistant should apply the brakes and steady the device. The user can then use the handle tubing as support, whilst lowering into the new seat.
8. If using a sling or belt then this must be attached before transfer and secured to the handle.
