Product Usage Instructions
To avoid accidents and injury when moving and handling the
products, please read the manual carefully. The person described as
the user in this instruction for use is the person who is lying or
sitting on the product. The carers are the people who manoeuvre the
product. Positioning is easier if the user either leans in the
opposite direction or shuffles him/herself sideways to sit on the
glide board (Illustration 5). The user can now slide/`shuffle’
slowly over into the wheelchair by pushing him/herself away from
the mattress (Illustrations 6 + 7). Depending on the user’s
resources, the carer can guide the user, supporting the upper body,
possibly using SupportBelt, SmartMove or Sling. If an angle is
created (e.g. if the bed is slightly higher than the wheelchair),
the user will slide more easily from one to the other.
Note that all measurements given on illustrations and similar
material are for guidance only and Etac cannot be held liable for
errors and defects. Do not bleach the product. Never leave it on
the floor. Keep it out of the sun. The product can be tumbledry,
but do not dryclean it. If the customer makes adjustments, repairs
or uses combinations not predetermined by Etac, the Etac CE
certification and Etac warranty will not be valid. If in doubt,
please contact Etac. In case of an adverse event occurred in
relation to the device, incidents should be reported to your local
dealer and the national competent authority in a timely manner. The
product can be scrapped according to national regulations.

Practical handling
Positioning
Position the wheelchair at an angle of about 40° to the bed (Illustration 1). Position 3B-Board so that the non-slip circles on the back lie securely against the wheelchair seat and the surface of the bed on the other side (Illustration 4).
Positioning is easier if the user either leans in the opposite direction or shuffles him/herself sideways to sit on the glide
board (Illustration 5).
Use
The user can now slide/`shuffle’ slowly over into the wheelchair by pushing him/herself away from the mattress (Illustrations 6 + 7).
Depending on the user’s resources, the carer can guide the user, supporting the upper body, possibly using SupportBelt, SmartMove or Sling.
Tips
If an angle is created (e.g. if the bed is slightly higher than the wheelchair), the user will slide more easily from one to the other.
In connection with manual handling, it will often be an advantage to use a PediTurn turnplate for the feet and SupportBelt.
To remove 3B-Board, the user moves his/her weight away from the glide board, lifts and then pulls it free (Illustration 8).
