3 For persons authorised to carry out assembly tasks
3.1 Assembly, servicing / maintenance specialist
A person who, due to qualified professional education, training and
experience, is able to recognise risks and potential hazards during
work/assembly/maintenance/repair work on the machine or
subcomponents and can rectify these by introducing appropriate
measures.
3.2 Obligatory safety instructions whilst working with the machine
•Also observe the safety notes in the instruction manual.
•The machine must not be used as steps or a climbing aid. Only use
tested and stable steps/climbing aids. Keep steps/climbing aids free of
dirt and soiling.
•At the end of work or if work is interrupted, the machine must be turned
off at the main switch and secured against unauthorised switch-on
(e.g. with a padlock).
3.3 Transportation of the machine
•No persons must remain in the area below or on the raised
machine/parts of the machine.
•Only lift the machine using the necessary parts and at the specified
mooring points.
•The machine must only be transported/installed on foundations with a
sufficient load capacity.
•Ensure that stable balance is maintained when transporting with forklift
trucks.

For persons authorised to carry out assembly tasks GEDA®3700 Z/ZP
Assembly Instructions Page 8 of 60 ML034 GB 2017 / 11
3.4 Set up and connection/assembly
•Precautionary measures stipulated by the company for avoiding fires,
explosions, dust, gas, steam and smoke (during welding, burning and
grinding work) must be observed.
•Personnel must be acquainted with the on-site working environment,
e.g. obstacles in the work and traffic areas, ground load bearing
capacity and necessary barriers between the construction site and
public areas.
•Appropriate lifting gear must be used when working with heavy parts.
•Adhere to the minimum requirements for thoroughfares, paths and
emergency exits.
•Provide sufficient space to open gates and covers.
•Welding, burning and grinding work on the machine must only be
carried out following consultation with and approval from GEDA.
•Make sure that the masonry is capable of absorbing the tie forces.
A construction expert must check to ensure the house front is suitable
for tie forces of this kind. The inspection results will determine whether
plugs/dowels or through bolts must be used.
•In the event of wind speeds ≥ 45 km/h, bring the car down to the ground
and cease operation.
3.5 Initial operation/daily operation
Ensure that:
•All safety covers and safety equipment are present and functioning.
•All connections are correctly connected.
•All parts are correctly installed.
•No tools or other parts are inside or on the machine.
•No tools or other parts are located in the path of travel of the machine.
•All warning signs and instructions on the machine are present and
complete, clearly visible and undamaged.
•Illegible or missing warning signs and instructions must be replaced
immediately.
•Before operation, carry out the checks stipulated in the national
regulations.

•No interference voltages or interference frequencies occur.
•The response behaviour of the safety equipment meets the relevant
legal requirements.
The necessary cable cross-section must be determined while taking into
account the requisite installation type according to DIN VDE 0298
Section 4 and DIN VDE 0100 Section 430. Country-specific rules must be
observed.

Note for machines with frequency converter
This product can cause a direct current in the protective earthing
conductor. At those places where a residual current device (RCD) or a
residual current monitor (RCM) is used for protection in the event of direct
or indirect contact, then only an RCD or RCM of Type B is permitted on
the power supply end of this product.
If the installation guidelines include a “residual current device” (residual
current circuit breaker), then you must use a “Type B” residual current
circuit breaker (all-current sensitive) for three-phase frequency converters.
Select a residual current circuit breaker with the following features:
•Filtering of high-frequency currents.
•A delay that prevents triggering caused by interference capacities which
may be charged at switch-on.
This delay is not possible on 30 mA residual current circuit breakers. In
this case, select a residual current circuit breaker that is resistant to
accidental triggering, for example a residual current circuit breaker with
enhanced immunity to interference (super-immune).
If several machines with frequency converters are operated from a mains
connection, then one residual current device (residual current circuit
breaker) must be used for each machine with a frequency converter.
WARNING
Electric shock
The frequency converter can prevent correct function or lead to
malfunctions in the “type A” residual current device.
In the event of defects e.g. in the wiring, this can lead to electric
shocks.

6 Assembly
6.1 Assembly drawings
If installation conditions vary, specific installation drawings can be
prepared by GEDA.
Assembly drawings supplied and released must be kept until disassembly
of the platform.
6.2 Foundation / Substructure
The foundation and load-distribution substratum(substrata) must safely
transfer any existing loads into the subsoil. Therefore, before beginning
installation task, determine the following points.
•Verification of the payload of the foundation / load-distributing
substratum (substrata).
•Verification of the load-bearing capacity of the subsoil
Since the load-bearing capacity of the subsoil is often very difficult to
estimate, a specialist subsoil investigator should be called on if there is
even the slightest doubt, in particular for high/complicated superstructures.
The following points must be taken into account when assessing the
subsoil:
•Maximum permissible soil pressure
•Predicted settlement
•Predicted groundwater levels
•Predicted thawing and frost processes
•Construction activities expected in direct proximity to the installation site
Wooden planks or steel plates can be used as load-distributing base
supports. The foundation must be horizontal to erect the mast.
The total weight (refer to table) of the transport platform and mast sections
is transferred through the foot section support under the mast in the
foundation.

The ground pressure of the different platform models is the same,
since the load bearing capacity of the platforms differ.

man’s control with two hands. The platform only moves for as long as the
operating buttons are pressed.
Loading doors, barriers with unloading ramp and assembly plank must be
closed and engaged. The assembly guard must be properly hung up.

The main switch (on the ground station switch box) must be
switched on (Position “I” [ON]).
