How is it applied?
- From a seated position, slide the sling down the back with the smooth side inward and tuck the curve under the buttocks. Bring the leg straps through the inside loops.

- The legs can be in the divided crossover or the closed configuration.
- Attach the leg and back straps to the carry bar. The longest leg loops and shortest back loops give a vertical lift; the reverse gives an inclined lift.
- Raise the bar and check that every strap is attached before the transfer.
