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.
−Danger due to improperly secured load falling.
−Danger due to high wind speeds (> 72 km/h).
−Hazards when entering and leaving the load platform.

4Safety
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).
