The use of the GH3 is subject to the following:

The GH3 should only be used by trained personnel.

The maximum nominal load, 200 kg (440 lbs), 250 kg (550 lbs), 300 kg

(660 lbs), 350 kg (770 lbs) respectively, must not be exceeded.

The instruction offered by Guldmann to all customer groups in connection

with the purchase of a ceiling-mounted hoist has been received.

The helper pays attention to the well-being of the user when using the

hoist.

The hoist is used in rail systems which are installed, tested and approved

according to Guldmann’s stipulation.

Only technicians who have been certified by Guldmann may install and

test the rail systems.

The hoist is used with the Guldmann lifting hanger or with other suitable

hanger (section 1.08).

The hoist is used with a Guldmann lifting sling or with other suitable slings

(section 1.09).

Placing a new GH3 Hoist in an existing rail system

Please notice, placing a new GH3 hoist in an existing rail system it must

be ensured that:

•

The rated max load of the rail system, must be equal or higher than the

max load of the new hoist.

– If there is no max load mentioned on the rail system, the rail system

must then be checked according to the guideline in the installation

manual (distance between bracket according to max load)

– If the brackets are not visible, then a load test with 1,5 x max load of

the hoist must be performed minimum 20 min. The deflection of rails must

not be higher than 1/200 of the length of the rail.

– If it is not possible to do any of the above mentioned, please contact

Guldmann or their representative

Page 8

•

If the rail system can not be rated to the same max load as the hoist,

then extra brackets must be installed according to the installation

manual (distance between bracket according to max load).

Class I equipment

Fixed rail systems are class I equipment and must be installed by a qualified

technician or by Guldmann Service Team.

Equipment is disconnected from Supply Mains by breaking the mains breaker

switch.

Class II equipment

Mobile equipment is class II epuipment (marked with double-encassed

symbol) and can be connected to the mains direct by the user.

Equipment is disconnected from Supply Mains by detaching the mains plug

from the wall outlet.

Emergency stop device

The emergency stop device must be reset in order to connect power to the

product. To do this, push the yellow reset button (see point 2.09).

Power supply

GH3 is equipped with batteries that require regular recharging. The power

supply for charging and the battery charging point must be connected by a

qualified engineer or by Guldmann Service Team.

The transformer supplied must always be used.

Safety concerning static electricity (ESD)

Service technicians and installers must use an ESD-safety package

consisting of a mat, a ground wire, and a bracelet. The technician/installer

connects the mat to a grounding point, for instance a radiator or a water pipe.

The technician/installer must then put on the bracelet and connect it to the

mat. If it is not possible to find a grounding point, the mat and the bracelet

must be used as a minimum.

Only then is it allowed to work with the PC Board or components where it

is possible to come into contact with the PC Board.

Installation of the lifting hanger before use

Lifting hangers from other .

manufacturers

Guldmann shall not be liable for faults

or accidents that may occur as a result

of using lifting hangers made by other

manufacturers.

Fig. 1

If there is any doubt about the

selection or use of a lifting hanger,

please contact your supplier.

The lifting hanger can be installed to

the lifting strap without the use of any

tools.

1. Hold the lifting hanger in the right hand

and press the yellow button using the

thumb as shown (Fig. 1)

Fig. 2a

2. Insert the strap attachment in

the slot on the lifting hanger top cover

with the open side facing down

(Fig. 2a, 2b) and release the yellow

button (Fig. 2c)

3. Rotate the strap attachment to a

vertical position (Fig. 3)

Fig. 2b

4. Check that the yellow button has returned

to its locked position by checking that it is

flush with the cover of the lifting hanger

and that the strap attachment can rotate

freely.

Fig. 2c

Fig. 3

Page 10

Lifting sling

A lifting sling with four to six lifting straps designed for mounting on hooks

should be used when using a Guldmann lifting hanger. Place the straps on

the hooks. Make sure that the rubber safety catch returns to its start position,

so the straps can not unintentionally fall off.

Slings made by other manufacturers

Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents that may occur as a

result of using lifting slings made by other manufacturers.

If there is any doubt about the selection or use of a lifting sling,

please contact your supplier.

Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incorrect use of

the lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention on the part of the carer

or user.

Working with the GH3

The GH3 runs easily in the rail system and does not have any special

requirements for space or power in connection with moving. Attention can

thus be fully focused on the user’s functional level and the helper’s technique.

If the hoist is used correctly, the user should only be lifted to the extent that

she/he is clear of the surface and should be moved at this height.

Attaching the lifting sling

Place the straps from the lifting sling on the hooks on the lifting hanger. Start

with the uppermost set of straps (from the back) and then take the lowest set

of straps (from the legs).

Caution!

Be careful when attaching the lifting sling on the

hooks. Check that the straps have been pulled completely through the rubber safety catch (A) and into

place in the lifting hanger’s hooks. When pressing

the up button to lift the user, check again that all the

straps remain correctly placed in the lifting hanger’s

hooks (fig. 1a and fig. 1b).

Fig. 1a

Fig. 1b

Page 11

Lifting to and from a seated position

When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move the GH3 towards the person

to be lifted.

The lifting hanger should be at the same height as the user’s chest and

should not be moved further in over the user than to approximately mid-thigh

position.

Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.

Place the lifting sling behind the user’s back between the back of the chair

and the user’s back.

The centre band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine. As for the

slings type Active the strap showing the size of the sling should be opposite

the spine. Lead the leg straps along the outer sides of the user’s shins and

beneath the thighs between the hollow of the knees and the hip joints. Cross

the leg straps in front of the user.

All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling can now

be mounted on the lifting hanger.

Lifting to and from lying position in bed

Bring the lifting hanger over the centre of the person to be lifted.

Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.

Turn the user onto his or her side. The Basic High sling should be placed so

that its top is at the same height as the top of the user’s head. Now position

the sling over the user so that the centre band follows the user’s spine. Turn

the user onto his or her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting

sling. Place the leg straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them. All four

lifting straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling can now be

mounted on the lifting hanger. It is an advantage to elevate the head of the

bed so that the user is sitting up.

Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding the use of

lifting equipment and fitting of slings should use the hoist.

Important!

Plan the move. Avoid leaving the user in the lifting sling unattended. The GH3

lifts quickly and powerfully. Before lifting, check that the user is completely

free of his/her surroundings. The user’s head, arms, hands and feet must not

be in danger of becoming trapped. Be careful with any tubes and wires that

are attached to the user. Check that the hand control and hand control cable

is free of hanger, patient and other object before the hoist is activated up or

down moved.

Using swing kit in doorway

1. Bring the two hoist as close together as

possible. Adjust the height of the lifting

hanger on hoist B so that the transfer can

be done without the user touching the

floor during the transfer from one hoist to

another.

4. Disconnect the lifting strap on hoist B

from the lifting hanger and raise the strap

on hoist B out of the way.

5. Move the lifting hanger from hoist A to

operating height and the doorway transfer

is complete.

2. Take the free lifting strap from hoist A

and secure it to the swing adapter on the

lifting hanger (see 1.10 figures 5 and 6).

In order to lower the free lifting strap on

hoist A a slight pull must be applied to the

strap.

3. Lower the lifting hanger using hoist B

while lifting the strap on hoist A to perform

the swing transfer. The transfer has been

completed when there is no load on the

lifting strap on hoist B

GH3 with horizontal drive motor

The GH3 with horizontal drive motor can operate in the rail system.

Be aware that the drive motor takes time to both accelerate and brake

the hoist.

It is possible to position the hoist with horizontal driving motor with a high

degree of accuracy by a brief activation of the hand control.

The GH3 with horizontal drive motor runs on its own power and it should

not be pulled through the rail system.

1.13

GH3 with horizontal drive motor and infrared remote (IR) control

The GH3 has an integrated IR receiver which is controlled by the IR

remote control.

The hand control should be left attached to the hoist.

This means that the hoist can always be operated, in the the event that

the IR remote control is mislaid or the battery is uncharged.

Scale module (GH3+ with integrated scale module)

The GH3+ with scale module (option) provides the facility to determine the

user’s weight.

Warning!

The integrated scale in GH3+ is not approved to determine mass in medical

practice, including the weighing of patients in connection with health monitoring, diagnosis and medical treatment.

(The provisions for medical weighing are specified in accordance with EEC

Directive 90/384)

Shock effects

The GH3+ with scale module includes high-sensitive sensors to register mass

corresponding to the nominal recommended load. The sensors are highly

sensitive and can be damaged by the effects of shock, for example pulling

the GH3+ at extreme speed into an end stop.

Operation

Always reset the GH3+ scale module before weighing takes place. When

resetting the unit, the lifting hanger and the desired lifting sling must be

attached under the hoist.

CLM module (GH3+ with statistical function for management use)

The GH3+ with CLM module (option) includes a management tool that saves

important information on the use of the lifting module and which can be used

to evaluate the system’s efficiency and utilisation, as well as to optimise

its use and hoist name/location.

The following data can be shown on the hand control’s display: number of

lifts, number of heavy lifts, number of lifts in last week, average number of

lifts per week.

As an additional option, by connecting a PDA/Net Book to the hand control it

is possible to gain access to a number of other saved data, e.g. the number

of lifts since the last strap change, number of critically low battery readings,

number of weighings, total lifting time, etc.

This information can be downloaded and used for further analysis.

(PDA/Net Book readouts requires a PDA/Net Book with Guldmann CLM

software).

Number of lifts, total

A lift is registered automatically when the following

events are registered simultaneously

• Hand control is activated

(Direction UP) for more than 2 seconds

• The load on the lifting strap is registered as

being within the range:

15 kg – Recommended load kg

(33 lbs – Recommended load lbs)

Total includes the number of lifts performed after

the lifting module was first taken into use.

Number of heavy lifts, total

A heavy lift is registered automatically when the

following events are registered simultaneously

• Hand control is activated (Direction UP) for

more than 2 seconds

• The load on the lifting strap is registered as

being within the range:

150 kg – Recommended load kg

(330 lbs – Recommended load lbs)

Total includes the number of heavy lifts performed

after the lifting module was first taken into use.

Number of lifts, last week

The total number of lifts performed within the last

seven calendar days

Average number of lifts per

week

Average number of lifts per week (performed after

the lifting module was first taken into use)

The data for “Number of lifts, last week” and “Average number of lifts

per week” can, if necessary, be reset using a PDA/Net Book.
