1.02 Purpose and use
Purpose of the manual
The manual describes the standard model with a lifting height from 0-3 metres.
Use
The LP8 is a vertical lifting platform designed for permanent installation indoors
and outdoors. The lifting platform may be used in temperatures from -40° to
+50°C. At temperatures below the freezing point a heating cable cassette
(accessory) is recommended.
The lifting platform is designed to move individuals with limited mobility (e.g.
the walking-impaired, wheelchair users, pram and sack trolley users, etc.)
vertically from one level to another. Entry and exit is at opposite ends of the
lifting platform. The lifting platform is designed and produced in accordance
with current standards for negotiating height differences of up to 3 metres.
Great importance is attached to the design and implementation to achieve
attractive and harmonious installation in different environments, private and
public. Public environments are institutions, public buildings, etc., where the
lifting platform is subject to a certain amount of supervision. In these environments, the lifting platform should be locked, protecting it against unintentional
use or games.
When the lifting platform is in use, it is understood that the user has been
instructed on its use, or that a skilled personnel is present to assist.
Assembly
The lifting platform is delivered ready-assembled from the factory. The
platform must be mounted on a suitable and stable foundation. The lifting
platform must be installed by a qualied technician, in accordance with
Guldmann’s instructions.
The motor housing must be placed in a suitable location to facilitate service
and minimise noise.

3.00 Connections
3.01 Electrical connections
The lifting platform is delivered with a cable and plug connected to the lifting
platform’s motor housing. This is only a temporary solution in order to be able
to run the lift during assembly, until an authorised electrician connects the lifting platform permanently.
Circuit: The lifting platform has a single-phase motor which uses maximum
7.8A and possibly also a heating cable (accessory) of 220W. The lifting platform
therefore needs as a minimum a 10 A single-phase circuit with fuses (alternatively a 13A circuit). The circuit must have a residual current device in accordance with directives on electrical building installations etc.
The main switch shall always be placed in the vicinity of the lifting platform. The
main switch and the heating cable switch are often placed indoors to avoid unintended interruption of the platform.
Electrical connection of lifting platform: The power supply must be connected to the terminal block located in a switch box in the motor housing. The
heating cable (if mounted) is also connected to the terminal block. The heating
cable can with advantage be equipped with a thermostat, so that it switches on
only when the temperature gets below the freezing point.
The connection diagram is found inside the motor housing.
Lighting: A minimum of 50 lux lighting must be provided for the lifting platform and control panel.
Main power switch: The lifting platform must have a lockable main power
switch that breaks the voltage supply to the lifting platform, normally placed
together with the switch for heating cables indoors. This is to enable the lifting
platform to be without voltage during ser vicing, and when the lifting platform
should not be used. The normal solution is to pull a 4+earth wire cable from
the lift’s socket on the motor housing to the main switch and heating cable
switch which is normally placed indoors.
The main power switch shall be marked with:
THE MAIN POWER SWITCH MUST NOT BE SWITCHED OFF BEFORE
THE LIFTING PLATFORM IS AT THE LOWER LEVEL

4.00 Installation of accessories
Heating cables: The lifting platform is delivered as standard without heating
cables. In the base frame space has been made for a heating cable cassette.
For outdoor assembly, it is recommended that heating cables are always built
into the lifting platform’s base. Alternatively, heating cables can be cast into
a concrete base below the lift plate. The purpose of the cable is to keep the
base free of snow and ice. Assembly must be carried out by the supplier.
Two-way voice communication: It is possible to establish two-way voice
communication. If assistance is needed, press the alarm button and the automatic emergency call will after 10 seconds be transferred to a preset phone
number.
Extension cable set for external motor housing: The motor housing can
as standard be placed 2,5 metres from the left tower. The extension set consists of a hydraulic hose and an electric cable of 3 metres.
Perforated steel: Side plates of lift basket and doors are available in perforated steel instead of glass.
Remote control: As an option the lifting platform can be supplied with infrared remote control.
5.00 Safety measures
Operating switches. The UP or DOWN switches must be held in while the
lifting platform is running.
Emergency stop switches. The lifting platform is equipped with an easyaccess, self-locking emergency stop switch, which is placed between the
operating switches.
Overload signal. The lifting platform has both a visual and acoustic signal
that will be activated when the lifting platform is overloaded.
Main power switch. The lifting platform has a lockable main power switch.
This is placed inside the house in the vicinity of or beside the lifting platform.
The main power switch is used during servicing or to prevent unwanted use.
Automatic doors. In order to be able to operate the lifting platform, both
doors must be in the closed position. The doors are opened and closed automatically, when the operating switch is activated.

Safety cut-out board. A safety cut-out board has been tted under the lift
basket, which means that the lifting platform stops if it comes into contact with
anything. If an object appears below the lift basket and the lifting platform has
stopped, the lifting platform must be taken slightly up in order to remove the
object before the lifting platform can be operated normally again.
When the emergency lowering device is being used, the safety cut-out board
will not work.
Automatic stop. The lifting platform stops automatically at the preset height.
On the upper level an extra safety switch is mounted that stops the platform if
the normal end stop should fail.
Emergency lowering device. The lifting platform is equipped with an emergency lowering device. In the event of unwanted stops or power failures, the
lifting platform can be lowered by using the emergency lowering device. The
emergency lowering device is locked in and is placed in the motor housing
which is either behind the lifting platform or at the side depending on the customer’s requirements and available space. We therefore recommend that the
user carries a mobile phone or safety alarm when the lifting platform is used
without someone to assist. See also the Operating Instructions.
Great care must be taken when using the emergency lowering device
because the safety cut-out board does not work when this is activated.
Read the instructions on the motor housing carefully before use.
External control panels. The lifting platform is equipped with external control
panels which makes it possible to retrieve the lifting platform at the desired
level.
Parking the lifting platform. The lifting platform must be parked at the lower
level in order to prevent snow, leaves and other foreign objects from getting
below the lifting platform when not in use. This will also ensure that heating
cables keep the safety cut-out board free from ice and snow, and prevent the
drying out of the hydraulic cylinder’s piston rod and stufng boxes.

Heating cable. Lifting platforms installed outdoors are normally tted with a
heating cable of 220 Watt. This should be left on whenever there is a danger
of frost.
The following points must be adhered to:
• There is a risk of getting jammed at the moving parts of the platform, for
instance the automatic doors.
• Fingers must not be placed in the gaps in the lifting platform’s columns/tower
as this can lead to them being crushed.
• Parts and components must not be removed from the lifting platform.
• Contact the supplier in the event of faults or defective components. Use only
original spare parts.
• The control panel must not be covered.
• Signs must not be removed or covered.
• Great care must be taken in the winter because of the risk of slipping on the
lifting platforms oor and access ramp.
• Great care must be taken when using the emergency lowering device.
6.00 Maintenance
Exercise caution while working beneath the platform, as a crush hazard may
arise between the platform’s moving parts.
Important! A blocking beam must always be used while working beneath the
platform.
The following safety advice must be adhered to:
• Run the platform all the way to the upper level.
• Next, disconnect the platform’s power source in
order to prevent the risk of electrical shock and
crushing.
• Insert the blocking beam beneath the platform
beside the left post, as shown in the drawing. It
is now safe to work beneath the platform.
• The lifting platform may NOT be raised/lowered
while work is being performed beneath the
platform. This rule applies even if the blocking
beam or other safety devices are in place.
• Only one person is allowed to work on the lifting platform once it has been
installed, connected and can be raised/lowered.

Maintenance: Ensure that the safety cut-out board under the lifting platform
is always hanging freely and that foreign objects do not get lodged in the
board. The base frame must be kept free of sand, gravel, leaves and other
objects. This is crucial so that the lifting platform can be run all the way down
without the safety cut-out board being pressed up and thereby preventing the
lifting platform from going all the way down.
Cleaning: The lifting platform can be cleaned with soap and water.
NB: High-pressure washers and scourers cannot be used.
Service inspection: The LP8 must be inspected in accordance with the
national law and at least once a year. The platform must be inspected by a
qualied technician or by Guldmann Service Team.
It is the owner’s responsibility to arrange such service inspections.
In the event of faults that can cause dangerous situations, the lifting platform
shall be shut down immediately until the problems are solved.
