1.05 Load limits on GH3 system
Read the label which indicate the maximum load limits for each component.
The components, e.g. lifting hanger, lifting sling, etc. labelled with the lowest
load limit determines the maximum load limit for the entire system.
This maximum load limit must not be exceeded.
Please note that the max load may change when different components are
used, such as lifting hangers, lifting slings, etc.
1.06 Unpacking and Preparation
Visual check of the GH3.
If the GH3 is thought to be damaged upon reception, the GH3 must not be
used before it has been checked and approved by a qualied person or the
Guldmann Service Team.

1.07 Placing a new GH3 Hoist in an existing rail system
Please notice, placing a new GH3 hoist in an existing rail system it must
be ensured that:
• The rated max load of the rail system, must be equal or higher than the
max load of the new hoist.
– If there is no max load mentioned on the rail system, the rail system
must then be checked according to the guideline in the Installation
guide (distance between bracket according to max load)
– If the brackets are not visible, then a load test with 1,5 x max load of
the hoist must be performed minimum 20 min. The deection of rails must
not be higher than 1/200 of the length of the rail.
– If it is not possible to do any of the above mentioned, please contact
Guldmann or their representative.
• If the rail system can not be rated to the same max load as the hoist,
then extra brackets must be installed according to the Installation
guide (distance between bracket according to max load).

Class I equipment
Fixed rail systems are class I equipment and must be installed by a qualied
technician or by Guldmann Service Team.
Equipment is disconnected from Supply Mains by breaking the mains breaker
switch.
Emergency stop device
The emergency stop device must be reset in order to connect power to the
product. To do this, push the yellow reset button (see point 2.09).
1.08 Power supply
GH3 is equipped with batteries that require regular recharging. The power
supply for charging and the battery charging point must be connected by a
qualied engineer or by Guldmann Service Team.
The transformer supplied must always be used.
Safety concerning 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. The technician/installer must then
put on the bracelet and connect it to the mat. 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 PCB Board or components where it is
possible to come into contact with the PCB Boar

1.09 Installation of GH3 Cross hanger and Horizontal lifter
Lifting hangers from other manufacturers
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents that may occur as a result
of using lifting hangers made by other manufacturers.
If there is any doubt about the selection or use of a lifting hanger,
please contact your supplier.
The lifting hanger can be installed to the lifting strap without the use of any
tools.
1.
Installation of GH3 Cross
lifting hanger
Start with the installation of the GH3 lifting
beam. Place each of the lifting straps oval
hook in the eye of the GH3 lifting beam,
one on each side (Fig. 1 and 2).
Fig. 1
Important:
Check that none of the lifting straps
are twisted after the installation of the
lifting beam and ensure that the lifting
beam is horizontal during the lift!
Fig. 2
2. Tilt GH3 Cross hanger to slide the round
hoop in to the hook (Fig. 3)
Fig. 3
3. Turn the at part of the Hoop out of
the hook before lowering the GH3
Cross hanger to horizontal position
(Fig. 4 and 5)

1.10 Lifting sling
A lifting sling with four to six lifting straps designed for mounting on hooks
should be used when using a Guldmann lifting hanger. Place the straps on
the hooks.
Slings made by other manufacturers
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents that may occur as a
result of using lifting slings made by other manufacturers.
If there is any doubt about the selection or use of a 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 the GH3
The GH3 runs easily in the rail system and does not have any special
requirements for space or power in connection with moving. Attention can
thus be fully focused on the user’s functional level and the helper’s technique.
If the hoist is used correctly, the user should only be lifted to the extent that
she/he is clear of the surface and should be moved at this height.
Attaching the lifting sling to GH3 Cross hanger
Place the straps from the lifting sling on the hooks on the lifting hanger. Start
with the uppermost set of straps (from the back) and then take the lowest set
of straps (from the legs). Refer to section 2.14 Cross Hanger 550800 with
Connecting Bar 550544.
Attaching the lifting sheet to Horizontal lifter, foldable
Read the instructions in the user manual for the Horizontal lifter.
Important!
Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding the use of
lifting equipment and tting of slings should use the hoist.
Plan the move. Avoid leaving the user in the lifting sling unattended.
The hoist lifts quickly and powerfully. Before lifting, check that the user is
completely free of his/her surroundings. The user’s head, arms, hands and
feet must not be in danger of becoming trapped. Be careful with any tubes
and wires that are attached to the user. The user should not hold the lifting
strap during the moving procedure as there is a risk of crushing between
the strap’s hook and the hoist. Check that the hand control and hand control
cable is free of hanger, patient and other object before the hoist is activated
up or down moved.
If the hoist is used correctly, the user should only be lifted to the extent that
she/he is clear of the surface and should be moved at this height.

2.05 Conguration of supplementary modules, GH3
Before the GH3 is put into use, the hoist must be congured. Conguration
covers language (Scale module/CLM module/Service module) and the unit for
specication of weight (Scale module).
Factory setting: Language: English (UK)
Unit of weight: kg
Scale module: The weight unit can be set to kg or lb.
Class III Scale: The weight is always shown in kg.
Conguration of supplementary modules takes place from the GH3
hand control.
Setting the language
1. Press any key on the GH3 hand control to activate the hoist.
When the hoist is activated, the display on the hand control is switched on
and the Guldmann logo “G” appears.
