Fig. 2
2. Tilt GH3 Cross hanger to slide the round
hoop in to the hook (Fig. 3)
3. Turn the at part of the Hoop out of
the hook before lowering the GH3
Cross hanger to horizontal position
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.
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 to GH3 Cross hanger
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). Refer to section 2.14 Cross Hanger 550800 with
Connecting Bar 550544.
Attaching the lifting sheet to Horizontal lifter, foldable
Read the instructions in the user manual for the Horizontal lifter.
Important!
Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding the use of
lifting equipment and tting of slings should use the hoist.
Plan the move. Avoid leaving the user in the lifting sling unattended.
The hoist 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. The user should not hold the lifting
strap during the moving procedure as there is a risk of crushing between
the strap’s hook and the hoist. 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.
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.
Before the GH3 is put into use, the hoist must be congured. Conguration
covers language (Scale module/CLM module/Service module) and the unit for
specication of weight (Scale module).
Factory setting: Language: English (UK)
Unit of weight: kg
Scale module: The weight unit can be set to kg or lb.
Class III Scale: The weight is always shown in kg.
Conguration of supplementary modules takes place from the GH3
hand control.

Emergency stop and lowering strap
The red strap has the following functions:
• One pull: Emergency stop is activated.
• Constant pull (2 steps): Emergency lowering is activated. It will work with
following load:
GH3 Twin up to 500 kg/1100 lbs from approx. load 160 kg/350 lbs
Emergency stop
If the GH3 does not stop/react to the hand control when the GH3 is in
use, pull the red strap and the lifting/lowering functions (except emergency
lowering) are deactivated. When the emergency stop is activated, the hoist
will not function. The green lamp is switched off.
Reset emergency stop
Reset the emergency stop by pressing the
yellow button on the bottom of the hoist.
The yellow button that appears when the
emergency stop is pulled, must be pressed
manually before the GH3 is ready for use.
If the GH3 fails, the electrical emergency lowering function is used to lower
the user safely. The emergency lowering function is operated by a constant
pull on the red strap that is used for the emergency stop.
When releasing the red strap, the emergency lowering function will be
replaced by the emergency stop.
Emergency lowering function, mechanical
If the electrical emergency lowering function in the GH3 fails, the emergency
lowering can be done mechanically. This must be done on the leader hoist
and follower hoist.
1. Remove the side covers.

the hoist by means of a gentle push on
the xing points on each side. The covers
are tipped free of the hoist and can be
removed.
2. Then release the hoist’s motor by turning
the handle bearing the words
“EMERGENCY DOWN”. This handle is
located immediately behind the side cover
and must be turned clockwise.
3. When the brake(s) has/have been
released, the user will be lowered slowly.
If the total weight of the user and the lifting
accessories is low (e.g. less than 100 kg
(220 lbs), it may be necessary to help the
user down by turning the large belt wheel
located on the opposite side of the handle
and in the direction of arrow marked on
the belt wheel.
Note:
In case of a critical mechanical failure, the hoist contains a mechanical
protective system that stops the strap reel.
Warning!
After the mechanical protective system has been activated in the GH3, the
hoist MUST be serviced by a qualied technician or by the Guldmann Service
Team.
2.13 Charging/connection

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic immunity
The GH3 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of the GH3 should assure that it is used in such an environment.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of
the GH3, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from
the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter.
Recommended separation
distance
d=1,2√Pd=1,2√P 80 MHz to 800 MHz
d=2,3√P 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating
of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range
b)
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
a)
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a)
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the GH3
is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the GH3 should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting
or relocating the GH3.
b)
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the GH3
The GH3 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the GH3 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the GH3
as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

100 121223
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d
in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is
the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
