100 Purpose and use
101 Manufacturer
V. Guldmann A/S
Graham Bells Vej 21-23A
DK-8200 Aarhus N
Denmark
Tel. [phone]

102 Purpose
GH2 F is a exible hoist that covers the need for lifting and moving people at
hospitals, nursing homes, institutions, swimming pools, riding schools, and in
private homes.
The exibility of GH2 F lies in the fact that it can be rapidly and easily – with
the least manual handling – transferred from one rail system to another.
Installing it on and deinstalling it from a rail system is partially automated and
is carried out without the use of tools or other assistive technology.
GH2 F with lifting accessories is transported and stored in a specially
designed transport trolley.
Preconditions
The preconditions for using the GH2 F hoist are that:
• The staff who operate this assistive technology/equipment have received
training.
• The instruction offered by Guldmann to all customer groups in connection
with the purchase of a ceiling-mounted hoist has been received.
• The carer pays close attention to the well-being of the person being lifted.
• The hoist is used in rail systems approved and tested in accordance with
Guldmann’s stipulations.
• Installation and testing of rail systems should only be performed by
Guldmann-approved engineers.
• The hoist is only used with a Guldmann lifting hanger or with another suitable
lifting hanger (point 2.01).
• The hoist is only used with a Guldmann lifting sling or other suitable slings
(point 3.0).
103 Important/precautions
• Read the instructions carefully before using the GH2 F hoist.
• The maximum loads of 200 kg/440 lbs. and 250 kg/550 lbs. respectively must
never be exceeded.
• GH2 F may only be used to lift people.
• The red emergency stop and emergency lowering strap must be adjusted to
the user’s reach.
• GH2 F must not be used where there is a risk of water being sprayed directly
onto it.

• If GH2 F fails while in use, it should not be used further, and the local
Guldmann Service Team must be contacted for repair.
• If GH2 F is used where the distance between the rail system and the oor
exceeds three metres (or 118”), the lifting strap must be extended with an
extension strap.
• GH2 F is controlled by a microprocessor PC Board, which may be damaged
by static electricity if touched without the necessary precautions. See point
4.01. Thus, the electronics should be looked after be qualied technicians,
only.
104 Load limits on your GH2 F system
Read the labels which indicate the maximum load limits of the components.
The component which has the lowest load limit, e.g. the lifting hanger, the
lifting sling, or other equipment, determines the maximum load limit of the
entire system. The maximum load limit must not be exceeded.
Please note that the load limit may change when different components are
used on a daily basis, e.g. lifting hangers, lifting slings.
200 Unpacking and preparation
Visual check of GH2 F
If it appears that GH2 F has
been damaged when you unpack
it, it must not be used until it has
been checked by a qualied
person or by the Guldmann
Service Team.

300 Lifting sling
A lifting sling with four to six lifting straps
designed for mounting on hooks with a
minimum diameter of 8 mm (approx. 1/2
inch), should be used when using a Guld-
mann lifting hanger.
Slings made by other manufacturers
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults
or accidents that occur as a result of
using a lifting sling made by other
manufacturers.
If you are in doubt about the
choice or use of lifting sling,
please contact your supplier.
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incorrect use of the
lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention on the part of the carer or
user.
Working with GH2 F hoist
It is only necessary to pay attention to the user’s functional level and the
carer’s technique, as the GH2 F makes no particular demands on space or
power consumption and runs smoothly in the rail system.
The user should only be lifted just clear of the underlying surface and should
be moved at this height.
Attaching the lifting sling
Attach the hooks that face the user to the upper set of straps (from the back).
Attach the lowermost set of straps (from the legs) to the hooks that face away
from the user.
Lifting to and from sitting position
When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move GH2 F towards the person
to be lifted.
The lifting hanger should be at the height of the user’s chest and should not
be moved further in over the user than to mid-thigh position.
Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Place the lifting sling behind the user’s back between the back rest of the
chair, for example, and the user. The centre band of the lifting string should
follow the user’s spine. As for the sling types Active, the strap showing the
size of the sling should be opposite the spine. Lead the leg straps along the
outer side of the user’s shins and beneath the thighs between the hollow of
the knees and the hip joints. Cross the leg straps over each other in front of
the user.
All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached to the lifting hanger.
Now attach the lifting sling to the lifting hanger.

Lifting to and from a lying position in bed
Place the lifting hanger centrally above the person to be lifted.
Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Turn the user on to his/her side. The lifting high back sling should be placed
so that its top is at the same height as the top of the user’s head. Lay the
sling over the user so that the centre band follows the user’s spine. Turn the
user on to his/her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting sling.
Place the leg straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them over each
other. All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached and the lifting sling
can now be mounted on the lifting hanger. It is an advantage to elevate the
head of the bed so that the user is sitting up.
301 Swing kit
A swing kit must not be used in conjunction with GH2 F.
400 Before the hoist can be used
Battery connection
Attach the four-pole plug in accordance with the
enclosed instructions.
The measures regarding ESD-safety are valid in
this connection. See point 4.01.
Emergency stop device
The emergency stop device must be reset to zero
in order to connect power to the product. To do
this, push the contact arm, to which the red
emergency stop band is fastened, towards the
product until it clicks.
401 Power supply
GH2 F is equipped with batteries that require regular recharging. The charger
supplied must always be used.
Safety in connection with static electricity (ESD)
Service technicians and installers must use an ESD-safety package
consisting of a mat, a ground wire, and a bracelet. The technician/installer
connects the mat to a grounding point, for instance a radiator or a water pipe.
He must then put on the bracelet and connect it to the mat. If the technician
is using a ladder, it is important that the mat is placed on the step on which
he is standing. If it is not possible to nd a grounding point, the mat and the
bracelet must be used as a minimum. Only then is it allowed to work with the
PC Board or components where it is possible to come into contact with the
PC Board.

Short, consecutive audio signals
GH2 F’s installation function has been activated.
Long, continuous audio signal
The installation/deinstallation sequence has been
interrupted or completed.
504 Indicator lamps
The colours and functions for GH2 F are as described below.
Green
The green circle of lamps on the bottom of the hoist will blink if the batteries
are running low – the GH2 F will then have only a certain number of lifts/
installations/deinstallations left, and the batteries must be recharged.
On: The hoist is active
Blinking: The batteries are running low and must be recharged
Off: The hoist is switched off
Yellow
When GH2 F is being recharged, the yellow charging indicator on its infor-
mation face is illuminated. The indicator lamp ashes while the batteries are
being recharged.
On: The lamp will light up briey when connected to the charger,
irrespective of the state of the battery. This indicates that there
is a correct connection between GH2 F and the charger.
On/blinking: The hoist is being recharged
Off: The hoist has been fully charged
The lamp will also be off when the charger is not connected.
