Important/Precautions Read the instructions carefully before using the GH3 and in connection with cleaning and service of the hoist. The GH3’s maximum load must never be exceeded. The GH3 may only be used to lift a person. The red strap for the emergency stop and the emergency lowering must be adjutsed to the helpers reach, and must not be removed. The GH3 must not be used where there is a risk of it being splashed with water. If a defect appears during use of the GH3, stop using the hoist and contact the Guldmann Service Team for repairs. The GH3 is controlled by a microprocessor PCB, which can be damaged by static electricity if touched without the necessary precautions, (see point 1.07) The electronics may only be serviced by Guldmann approved service technicians.

• •

Conditions for use 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).

Re: EMC If electromagnetic or other influences occur between this product and other products, these products must not be used together. 1.04

Load limits on GH3 system Read the label which indicate the maximum load limits for each component. The components, e.g. lifting hanger, lifting sling, etc. labelled with the lowest load limit determines the maximum load limit for the entire system. This maximum load limit must not be exceeded. Please note that the max load may change when different components are used, such as lifting hangers, lifting slings, etc.

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

•

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

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).

1.09

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.

Swing kit The swing function is used in conjunction with a transfer e.g. through a door from one lifting module to another. Note: The swing adapter must be ordered separately.

Fig. 1

Installation of swing adapter 1. Before starting a lift involving a swing transfer the swing adapter (Fig. 1) must be installed on the lifting hanger. (Fig. 2 to 5)

Fig. 2

2. Hold the lifting hanger in the right hand and press the yellow button using the thumb (Fig. 2) 3. Insert the swing adapter in the slot on the lifting hanger top cover with the open side facing down (Fig. 3a, 3b) and release the yellow button.

Fig. 3a

4. Rotate the swing adapter to a vertical position (Fig. 4) 5. 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 swing adapter can rotate freely. 6. Install the strap attachment to the swing adapter by sliding the open side of the strap attachment over the flat area of the swing adapter (Fig. 5) 7. Rotate the strap attachment and ensure that it moves up on the circular portion of the swing adapter (Fig. 6)

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

1.12

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. 21
