3Proper use and area of application
The GEDA-Combilift 250Z is arack and pinion hoist which is erected
temporarily and is intended exclusively for the transport of goods during
building activities. Any other use, such as, for example, the transport of people
(except for assembly and maintenance purposes), is considered to be an abuse
of the equipment. The manufacturer/supplier accepts no liability for damages
resulting from such use. The risk is borne solely by the user.
•The GEDA hoist may only be used as an assembly hoist for the installation of scaffolds as well as
for the transport of loads (goods) during construction work.
•Operating the hoist as a vertical construction hoist, you have to install one or more landing level
safety gates. Operation of the hoist may only be started after the landing level safety gates have
been installed.
•The hoist may only be used vertically for the assembly of scaffolds.
Proper use of the hoist involves the following:
−Observance of the conditions for assembly, operating and maintenance (assembly and operating
instructions).
−Annual inspections performed by an expert.
−Being aware of foreseeable faulty behaviour of other people.
Improper use of the GEDA Combilift 250 Z may lead to the following
−Danger to life and limb of the user or third parties.
−Damage to the hoist and other property.
Requirements on the assembly personnel
The GEDA 250Z Combilift may only be assembled, operated and serviced by persons who, through
training or practical knowledge, are in a position to handle the equipment properly and who have been
instructed about the dangers involved. These persons must be appointed to the tasks of assembly,
dismantling and maintenance by the employer.
Operating personnel
The hoist may only be operated by personnel who, through their training or practical knowledge, are in
a position to handle the equipment properly. These persons must
•be at least 18 years of age;
•be selected to operate the hoist by the employer;
•have received appropriate instruction and be aware of the relevant hazards.
Residual hazards
Even if all safety measures have been carried out, there are permanent
hazards. Permanent hazards are potential dangers that are easy to overlook,
such as, for example:
−Injuries arising from uncoordinated operation.
−Danger of a fault in the control system.
−Danger when working with the electrical equipment
−Danger due to damage to the load carrying device.

4.1 Explanation of symbols and notes
4.1.1 Operational safety symbol
This symbol is found next to every safety instruction where there is a danger of
lethal injury to the operator. Pay attention to these instructions and be careful
when handling the machine!
4.1.2 Attention
ATTENTION This symbol is found wherever particular instructions, regulations or
prohibitions relating to damage prevention are given, in order to prevent damage
to the hoist.
4.1.3 Note
NOTE This symbol is found wherever particular instructions, regulations or prohibitions
relating to damage prevention are given, in order to prevent damage to the hoist.
4.2 General safety
The GEDA Combilift 250Z, hereafter referred to as hoist, has been designed according to state-of-the-
art technology and is safe for operation. However, the nature of the operating procedures is such that
the hoist has areas and parts that cannot be protected without impairing the function and operating
capability. Therefore, good personal safety practice is essential to protect the personnel and the hoist.
The hoist can present dangers if it is used incorrectly by untrained personnel or if it is not used in
accordance with regulations.
•Please read the assembly and operating instructions for the hoist, as well as the safety instructions,
before transportation, assembly, commissioning, dismantling or maintenance, and observe these
instructions carefully!
Read the assembly and operating instructions and make sure
you understand them before working with the machine!
•Keep the operating instructions in an easily accessible place close to the hoist.
•In addition to the assembly and operating instructions, generally applicable conditions as well as
laws concerning accident prevention and environmental protection in the country where the
inclined hoist is being employed also apply (e.g. the wearing of personal protective clothing such
as protective helmets, safety shoes etc.).
•Observe all instruction and warning signs.
•
Only operate the hoist wearing close-fitting clothing, safety
shoes and a safety helmet. Do not wear jewellery, such as
chains and rings. There is the risk of injury due to getting
caught or pulled in.
•If injuries or accidents occur, immediately call a doctor.

Consequences of non-compliance with the safety instructions
Non-compliance with safety instructions can result in danger to people, the environment and to the
hoist. Non-compliance can also result in the lapsing of any damage compensation claims.
Requirements for operating personnel
See chapter operation
4.3 Operational Safety
•The hoist must be assembled and dismantled in accordance with these assembly instructions under
the direction of a skilled worker appointed by the employer.
•Erect the hoist so that it stands firmly and secure to the ground with ground spikes.
•Comply with the load capacity of the hoist.
•Only use the hoist in technically perfect condition, with awareness of safety and dangers, in
compliance with the operating instructions
•Faults which may compromise operational safety should be removed immediately.
•In the event of any changes in the hoist or its operating behaviour that compromise safety, stop the
hoist immediately and report the fault to the management or the management representative.
•Do not undertake any changes, additions or modifications to the hoist. This also applies for the
fitting and adjustment of safety devices, such as, for example, limit switches.
•Do not change, remove, avoid or bypass the protection facilities.
•Replace damaged or removed instruction and warning signs as well as safety inscriptions.
•If operation is interrupted, switch off the hoist at the main switch and
use the padlock to protect against restarting.
fig. 02 main switch
•In situations that are dangerous to the operating personnel or to the
hoist, the hoist can be stopped by pressing the EMERGENCY OFF
button of the manual control (1).
•In the event of wind speeds of >72 km/h, stop and lower the hoist.
(Wind force 7-8, wind breaks branches off trees and makes walking
very difficult).

4.3.1 Inspection
The hoist is subject to the EC machine guideline. A declaration of conformity is printed in these
operating and assembly instructions.
Regular inspections:
•Have the hoist inspected by an expert in accordance with the conditions of use, as required, but at
least once a year.
•Record the results of the annual expert inspection in the appendix.
The following groups of people are examples of those considered competent to carry out the annual
inspection:
- Operational engineers,
- Machinists,
- Specially trained technical personnel,
- GEDA customer service installation engineers.
Experts are people who, due to their specialist training and experience, have sufficient knowledge in
the field of this equipment and are so familiar with the relevant government health and safety
standards, accident prevention regulations, guidelines and generally acknowledged technical standards
(e. g. EN standards), that they are able to assess the safe operating condition of building hoists.
4.3.2 Safety instructions for assembly, operation and transport
•Before beginning work, familiarise yourself with the working environment at the place of
deployment, e.g. obstacles in the working and transportation areas, the bearing capacity of the
ground and the necessary protection of the building site from the public area.
•Only load and transport the hoist when it has been carefully dismantled, packed and secured.
•On principle, always protect the hoist against unauthorised use (disconnect)!
•Loads must be placed securely on the load platform, and materials that
tend to slip, that are higher than the load platform, or that could fall
over, must be secured (also bear in mind winds that may suddenly
occur).
•Do not stand or work below the load platform!
•Do not put any objects beneath the load platform.
•Load the platform centrally, and observe the maximum load capacity.
fig. 04 safety instruction
•Check for visible damages and faults at least once a day. Report any detected changes or faults to
the management or a management representative immediately. If necessary, stop the hoist at once
and make safe.
4.3.3 Safety instructions for maintenance
•Pull out mains supply plug before carrying out any maintenance work.
•Only allow authorised experts to carry out maintenance and repair work. The particular dangers
involved in working on electrical systems, for example, must also be noted during such tasks.
•Upon completion of maintenance tasks, correctly replace all protective devices that have been
removed.
•Unauthorised modifications or changes to the hoist impair safety and are not permitted.

Vertical and inclined hoist
Assembly and operating instructions page 12 of 52 B 071 U edition 03.2000
•Spare parts must meet the manufacturer's technical requirements. We recommend to use only
genuine GEDA spare parts.
4.4 The idea behind job safety instructions
Job safety instructions are rules provided by the employer for safe operation. These are binding
instructions, which the employer issues within the scope of his management role. The employees are
obliged by the accident prevention regulations to follow these instructions.
The employer is, as stipulated by the accident prevention regulation "General regulations", obliged to
create and provide job safety instructions.
According to this regulation, the employer must meet certain requirements concerning accident
prevention and give instruction to those insured on the potential dangers involved in their line of work,
as well as the measures required to prevent them. The employer can fulfil these requirements by
providing operating instructions.
The operating instructions provided here should therefore be expanded on by national regulations for
accident prevention as well as environment protection regulations!
e.g.: EC guideline 89/655/EEC regarding minimum requirements for safety and health protection for
employees using operating equipment in their work.
4.5 Employees must be instructed in:
- The dangers arising from working with the load carrying devices deployed and the required safety
procedures and rules of danger and first aid.
- Type and scope of regular inspection for safe working conditions.
- Maintenance.
- Removal of operational faults.
- Environmental protection.
- Safe handling of the electrical equipment.
•The firm using the hoist must ensure cleanliness and tidiness, by means of instructions and
inspections, at the site where the hoist is erected.
•The areas of responsibility for assembly, dismantling, operation and maintenance must be clearly
set out by the user firm and observed by all employees, so that no areas of competence concerning
safety are unclear.
•The operator must undertake only to operate the hoist in perfect condition. He is obliged to
immediately report to his superior any changes to the hoist that concern safety.
•Observe all instruction and warning signs.
•The operator must also ensure that no unauthorised persons linger on the hoist.

Electrical power supply (on site)
•A building site mains cabinet is required on site with a safety switch with 230 V 50 Hz and 16 A
slow-blow fuse (cf. VDE 0100 section 704).
•For the mains supply line, use a 3x2.5 mm2(max. 50m) sheathed flexible cable and lead it directly
to the building site mains cabinet without connecting other current consumers in between, in order
to avoid voltage drop and consequent loss of power of the motor.
NOTE
If the power supply is unsatisfactory, disconnect other current consumers.
•Connect the manual control to the plug on the base section and the mains plug to the on-site power
supply. - The hoist is ready for operation again.

8Transport
•Check whether the consignment has suffered damages during transportation and that it complies
fully with your order.
•Should damages occur during transport, the haulier and the dealer should be notified at once!
•The hoist can be dismantled into components form for convenient transport around the building
site.
- Heaviest component = 104 kg
- Longest section = 2,2 m
ATTENTION
In order to transport the load platform with open vehicles,
the assembly guard has to be lowered.
•Lift the bracket (2) of the assembly guard slightly and lower
the platform past the guidances.
fig. 11 lowering the assembly guard
9Assembly
The hoist must be assembled in accordance with the assembly and operating
manual, under the direction of a skilled person appointed by the employer!
This skilled worker must be familiar with the assembly and operating
instructions, possess adequate experience and be aware of the dangers involved
in handling the hoist.
Requirements on the assembly personnel
The machine may only be assembled, operated and serviced by skilled personnel (experts) who,
through their training or practical knowledge, are in a position to handle the equipment properly, and
who are aware of the relevant hazards. The employer must appoint these people for assembly,
dismantling and maintenance work.
9.1 General safety instructions
•Prior to each assembly, make sure that that all parts of the hoist, such as, for example, ladder
sections with racks, electric cables and control are in perfect condition. If any of the components
have been damaged, do not operate the hoist! – Replace damaged parts immediately.
•Familiarise yourself with the working environment at the place of erection, e.g. obstacles in the
working and transportation areas, the load bearing capacity of the ground and the protection of the
building site with fences to render the area safe for public access.
•The operator has to take care that the danger zone of the lower loading point, with the exception of
the access to the platform, is blocked off (fig. 12 and 13).
•The operator has to make sure that the access to the lower loading point is secured if there is
danger of loads falling down.
•No one must stay below the hoist.
•Comply with the national accident prevention regulations of the health and safety authorities and
all valid laws and guidelines.
•Always wear protective clothing (e.g. protective helmet, safety shoes).

9.1.1 Special safety instructions for inclined use
•Block off the danger area of the hoist.
•Do not exceed the maximum hoist assembly length of
19 metres between ground level and eaves height! –
When supported on the roof, the hoist can be extended
to a ladder length of up to 32 m.
•Comply with the load capacity of the hoist. It is
determined by the length of the hoist, the angle of
inclination of the ladder and whether the ladder prop
is being used or not. Refer to the scale of inclination
as well as the table of loads on the ladder prop.
•The transport of people is strictly prohibited.
•For the assembly please observe the instructions in
chapter 9.4.
fig. 12 base enclosure for inclined use
9.1.2 Special safety instructions for vertical use
•For vertical hoists, the enclosure (1) must be at least
0.5 m distant from moving parts.
•Being used for the assembly of scaffolds, the
assembly of the hoist itself continues. In this case
landing level safety gates or the base enclosure may
be installed later. In any case protective devices have
to be always installed in order to prevent people from
falling.
•The transport of people is forbidden!
•For the assembly please observe the instructions given
in chapter 9.2.
fig. 13 enclosure for vertical use
•Landing level safety gates have to be installed at loading points at a height of 2 metres or more in
order to prevent people from falling.
•During assembly, the projecting ladder sections may be travelled to a maximum of 3.5 m beyond
the last anchoring point! (Upper edge of trolley to rail tie)
•Make sure that the masonry can take the anchoring forces. A building expert must check if the wall
of the building is suitable for such anchoring forces. This will also dictate whether dowels or
through bolts must be used.
9.2 Vertical assembly
The hoist can be assembled very simply from the load platform. However, the following should be
noted:
•The wind speed during assembly must not exceed 45 km/h (12.5 m/sec.)
•The load platform is also provided for assembly. The assembly guard in front of the ladder sections
can be lowered (the control is interrupted then).
•Use the safety guard at the front (close clamp above the ramp).
•Control may only be carried out from the platform (use the extension cable serial no. 2804 for the
control).
•Install the first anchoring device at a height of approximately 1.8m (at the scaffold below the
covering floor).
