© Guldmann GB/US-12/2016 • # 550216_10
– 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
manual (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
manual (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.
Class II equipment
Mobile equipment is class II epuipment (marked with double-encassed
symbol) and can be connected to the mains direct by the user.
Equipment is disconnected from Supply Mains by detaching the mains plug
from the wall outlet.
Emergency stop device
The emergency stop device must be reset in order to connect power to the

1.09 Installation of the lifting hanger before use
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

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. Make sure that the rubber safety catch returns to its start position,
so the straps can not unintentionally fall off.
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
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).

Lifting to and from a seated position
When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move the GH3 towards the person
to be lifted.
The lifting hanger should be at the same height as the user’s chest and
should not be moved further in over the user than to approximately 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 of the chair
and the user’s back.
The centre band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine. As for the
slings type Active the strap showing the size of the sling should be opposite
the spine. Lead the leg straps along the outer sides of the user’s shins and
beneath the thighs between the hollow of the knees and the hip joints. Cross
the leg straps in front of the user.
All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached. The lifting sling can now
be mounted on the lifting hanger.
Lifting to and from lying position in bed
Bring the lifting hanger over the centre of the person to be lifted.
Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Turn the user onto his or her side. The Basic High sling should be placed so
that its top is at the same height as the top of the user’s head. Now position
the sling over the user so that the centre band follows the user’s spine. Turn
the user onto his or her back and pull out the remaining part of the lifting
sling. Place the leg straps beneath the user’s thighs and cross them. 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.
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.

1.12 Using swing kit in doorway
1. Bring the two hoist as close together as
possible. Adjust the height of the lifting
hanger on hoist B so that the transfer can
be done without the user touching the
oor during the transfer from one hoist to
another.
2. Take the free lifting strap from hoist A
and secure it to the swing adapter on the
lifting hanger (see 1.10 gures 5 and 6).
In order to lower the free lifting strap on
hoist A a slight pull must be applied to the
strap.
3. Lower the lifting hanger using hoist B
while lifting the strap on hoist A to perform
the swing transfer. The transfer has been
completed when there is no load on the
lifting strap on hoist B
4. Disconnect the lifting strap on hoist B
from the lifting hanger and raise the strap
on hoist B out of the way.
5. Move the lifting hanger from hoist A to
operating height and the doorway transfer
is complete.

1.13 GH3 with horizontal drive motor
The GH3 with horizontal drive motor can operate in the rail system.
Be aware that the drive motor takes time to both accelerate and brake
the hoist.
It is possible to position the hoist with horizontal driving motor with a high
degree of accuracy by a brief activation of the hand control.
The GH3 with horizontal drive motor runs on its own power and it should
not be pulled through the rail system.
1.14 GH3 with horizontal drive motor and infrared remote (IR) control
The GH3 has an integrated IR receiver which is controlled by the IR
remote control.
The hand control should be left attached to the hoist.
This means that the hoist can always be operated, in the the event that
the IR remote control is mislaid or the battery is uncharged.
