• The GH1 should only be used by trained personnel.

• The maximum nominal load, 175 kg (385 lbs), 205 kg (450 lbs), 255 kg (560 lbs) respectively, must not be exceeded (section 1.05).

• 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 DS/EN 10535 and Guldmann’s stipulations.

• Only technicians who have been certied by Guldmann may install and test the rail systems.

• The hoist is used with a Guldmann lifting hanger (section 1.10).

• The hoist is used with a Guldmann lifting sling or with other suitable slings (section 1.11).

Re: EMC

If electromagnetic or other inuences occur between this product and other

products, these products must not be used together.

1.05 Load limits on GH1 system

Read the label which indicates the maximum load limits for each component. The component, 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.

1.06 Unpacking and Preparation

Visual check of the GH1

If the GH1 is thought to be damaged upon reception, the GH1 must not be

used before it has been checked and approved by a qualied person or the

Guldmann Service Team.

Button for reset of emergency stop

GH1 is delivered with the emergency stop activated in order to ensure that the battery is not being discharged during long-term storage. Reset the emergency stop by pressing the “RESET” button on the bottom of the hoist (see point 2.04).

Mounting of side cover

GH1 is standard delivered with side cover in white and yellow.

Before starting to mount the side cover it is important, for safety reasons, to make sure that the emergency stop is activated

(see point 2.04).

The chosen side covers are tted on the side

of GH1 by bending the cover slightly and placing it in the groove at the side of GH1.

1.07 Installing a new GH1 hoist in an existing rail system

Please notice, when installing a new GH1 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. During the test the deection of

the 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).

1.08 Installing / deinstalling GH1 Q in the rail

The GH1 Q lifting module has a quick-release system which makes it very simple to click-on and click-off the lifting module from the rails if it from time to time is necessary to relocate the lifting module to another room or residence. The moving of the lifting module can be accomplished without any use of tools.

Installing GH1 Q

1. The travelling trolley is mounted in the rail.

2. Turn GH1 Q 90° in relation to the rail as illustrated and connect it to the travelling trolley.

3. Turn GH1 Q as illustrated until the hoist is parallel to the rail.

4. Stop pressing up and allow the safety lock to engage.

5. GH1 Q ceiling hoist is now ready to use.

1.09 Power supply

GH1 is equipped with a battery that requires regular recharging. The power supply for the transformer and the charging station must be connected by

Guldmann Service Team or by a qualied engineer.

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 nd 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.

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.

1.10 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.

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).

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 (g. 2c).

3. Rotate the strap attachment to a vertical position (g. 3).

1.11 Lifting sling

A lifting sling with four to eight 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.

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).

GH lifting hanger, 4 attachment points

Caution! Be careful when attaching the lifting sling’s straps on the hooks. Check that the straps have been correctly placed in the lifting hanger’s hooks. When pressing the up button on the hand control to lift the user, check again that all straps remain correctly placed in the lifting hanger’s hooks (Fig. 1).
