Assembly and Operating Manual 18 / 90 BL068 GB Edition 03/2015
2.6 Safety whilst working on the electrics
In the event of malfunctions of the electrical installations on the ma-
chine, immediately stop it by disconnecting the mains plug!
Work on the electrical equipment of the machine must only be carried
out by qualified electricians working in accordance to electrical engi-
neering regulations! Only professional electricians may access the ma-
chine’s electrics and carry out work on it. Always keep the covers /
switch boxes closed as soon as they are left unattended.
Never work on live parts! Machine parts on which inspection,
maintenance or repair tasks are to be carried out must be discon-
nected from the mains. Operating fluids that have been disconnected
must be secured against being switched back on unintentionally or au-
tomatically (lock away fuses, block isolating switches, etc.). The discon-
nected, electrical components must first be tested to ensure they are
voltage-free, then earthed, short-circuited and isolated from neighbour-
ing live components.
If it is necessary to carry out tasks on energized components (only in
exceptional situations), an additional person is required to activate the
EMERGENCY STOP button or disconnect the mains plug in an emer-
gency. Only use insulated tools!
During repairs, make sure that design features are not modified so
that they have a negative influence on safety. (e.g. creeping distances,
clearances and distances must not be made smaller by insulation).
Fault-free earthing of the electrical system must be ensured by a pro-
tective earth system.

3 Technical description
3.1 Description of function
The scaffolding lifts GEDA MINI 60 S and GEDA MAXI 120 S/150 S
have two levels of speed, whereas the slow level is provided mainly for
commencing the lifting or sinking movement without jolts. For the most
part the equipment should be operated in the fast level. It is also possi-
ble to stop more smoothly using the first speed level. The control switch
accordingly has two pressure points.
Control is carried out using the manual control, from outside the hazard
area. The length of the line for the manual control is 10 m [33 ft].
If the pivot arm hoist should be operated from above, then it is possible
by plugging in manual controls with long cables of 30 m [98 ft] or 50 m
[164 ft] (accessories).
WARNING
Risk of injury
It must be ensured that the hanging load can always be observed from
the operating position.
•In the event of exceeding the load capacity and the rope weight mov-
ing against the pivot arm, the winch lifts itself and switches off the UP
movement.
Subsequently, it is possible to move in the DOWN direction.
•In the event of “Slack rope”, the flexible drum guard switches off the
control in both directions.
If the upward travel was automatically switched off because of an ac-
cumulation of slack in the cable, then the upward travel is only re-
leased after the cable was manually tightened.
•The safety devices for the loading and unloading points are also in-
cluded in the assembly of the hoist (refer to Chapter 5.4).
The scaffolding lifts are especially designed for 1½″pipe scaffolding. If
you should use scaffolding with other dimensions, please contact your
dealer or the manufacturer, who can offer you an adapter or special de-
sign.
