1.02 Purpose and use
Purpose
LP50 / LP50H is a oor mounted lifting platform which can be used by per-
sons with impaired mobility (e.g. walking-impaired, wheelchair users, persons
with pushchairs and sack trucks) to meet the demand for negotiating minor
height differences of up to 830 mm.
The LP50 is a vertical lifting platform. LP50H is a lifting platform with a com-
bined vertical and horizontal movement.
Use
The LP50/LP50H is recessed into the oor in front of the stairs/landing and is
designed for permanent installation indoors. The lifting platform may be used
in temperatures from -10 to +40 degrees. In temperatures of less than -10
degrees, the application of suitable heating beneath the platform is recom-
mended.
When the lifting platform is activated, the four safety edges go up automa-
tically and ensure that the user does not roll over the edge when the platform
is in motion. When the platform is level with the landing, the platform stops
and the safety edge in the front goes down automatically so the user can
drive onto the landing.
LP50 is designed and produced in accordance with current standards for nego-
tiating height differences from 0-500 mm.
LP50H is designed and produced in accordance with current standards for
negotiating height differences (stairs) from 0-830 mm. Be aware of local regula-
tions in relation to lifting height.
Great importance is attached to the design and implementation to achieve an
attractive and harmonious installation in different environments, private and pub-
lic. Public environments are institutions, public buildings, etc., where the lifting
platform is subject to a certain amount of supervision. In these environments, the
lifting platform should be locked, protecting it against unintentional use or games.
When the lifting platform is in use, it is understood that the user has been
instructed on its use, or that a skilled personnel is present to assist.

1.03 Important / warnings
• All of the operating instructions must be read before the product is used.
• The LP50 / LP50H must be assembled by the Guldmann Service Team, or by
an engineer approved by Guldmann.
• The lifting platform is controlled by a microprocessor print which can be dam-
aged by static electricity if touched without the necessary precautions. The
electronics must therefore be serviced by trained technicians only.
• The accompanying safety chain must be used when the service engineer
moves around beneath the lifting platform.
• The max. load must not be exceeded.
• The lifting platform must be swept clean of gravel, fallen leaves, snow, etc.
before use.
• The lifting platform is to be used to transport people only, and must be used
in accordance with the descriptions in this manual.
• The brakes of the user’s wheelchair or similar must be applied.
• All playing by and with the lifting platform is forbidden.
• A simple and usable “Emergency procedure” must be described and agreed
between the user and the helper. This must ensure that the user does not
become trapped on the platform in the event of an electrical or a mechanical
failure.
• The lifting platform must not be used during re.
• Safety equipment must only be reset by qualied assistance.
• Make sure that the area in front of the lifting platform is free.
• After use ensure that the lifting platform is in its lowest position and check
that the safety edges are completely down before leaving the lifting platform.
1.04 Safety rules
When working beneath the platform, there is a risk of becoming trapped
between the moving parts of the platform. The following safety rules must
therefore be observed:
1. The safety chain/strap must always be used while working beneath the platform.
2 The lifting platform must NOT be raised/lowered while work is going on beneath
the lifting platform. This applies even if the safety equipment is installed.
3 When the lifting platform is assembled and connected so that it can be raised/
lowered, only one person may work on it.
Safety equipment
When working beneath the platform, the
safety chain/-strap MUST be used.
The safety chain/strap is tted between
the safety eyelets on the scissors or the
two central tubes of the scissors as illus-
trated on the picture.
When the chain/strap has been tted,
lower the platform until the chain is taut,
i.e. until the traction wheel ”releases”
the curve.

1.05 Assembly
The lifting platform must be assembled by the Guldmann Service Team or an
engineer approved by Guldmann according to Guldmann’s
instructions.
As the noise level of the lifting platform is minimal, no steps should be taken
to reduce the noise level further during the installation.
1.06 Recessing the platform
The platform is designed to be recessed in front of the stairs/landing so
access without changing levels is provided.
Guldmann has documentation with measurements and exact data about the
recessing of the individual platform.
A: According to the dimension sketch from
Guldmann
B: According to the dimension sketch from
Guldmann
C: 155 mm (+20, −0)
D: The distance between the pit and the
stairs / landing must be as short as
possible (according to the dimension
sketch from Guldmann).
1.07 Electrical connection
• Input: 100- 240V AC, 50-60Hz
• Maximum consumption: 0,35A
Connect the platform to the mains network via the tted rubber cable.
• Brown lead: Phase lead
• Blue lead: 0 lead
• Green/yellow lead: Earth clamp
Important!
For safety reasons, the lifting platform must always be earthed.
Remote control (accessory) uses 9 V.

Operation of the lifting platform
1. When the lifting platform is at the lowest level, the
user can freely drive up on to the lifting platform.
2. The platform is activated by pressing the up button on the operating panel (1)
or on the up button on the wireless hand sender. Hereby the 4 safety edges
automatically go up. The button is active as for as long as it is held down.
3. When all 4 safety edges are up, the platform will start to rise.
4. When the platform is level with the landing, the platform stops and the safety
edge in the front goes down automatically so the user can freely drive onto
the landing.
5. After use the lifting platform must always be lowered to its lowest level.
Activate the down button and keep it active until the platform has reached its
lowest level. Make sure that the safety edges are completely down before
leaving the lifting platform.
The lifting platform can be equipped with an overload indicator. If the lifting
platform is overloaded, the lifting platform will not lift or lower. After the over-
load has been removed, the platform can operate again.
2.03 Safety functions
Important!
Individual and specic consideration must be given to how an emergency
summoning system must work. One or more responsible people should be
appointed to help with the correct use of the lifting platform. It should always be
possible to call those responsible in any emergency situation. The users must
be informed of who holds this responsibility.
Description of the emergency stop
The emergency stop must be used
in emergencies only. If the emer-
gency stop is activated owing
to a malfunction, the dealer
must be contacted before the
lifting platform is used again.
The emergency stop (3) is
positioned in the centre of the
control panel. It stops all
movement when activated.
Important!
Pull out the emergency stop and briey press the control button twice to
restart the lifting platform.
Safety curtain
The safety curtain ensures that nobody can move in beneath the platform
when it is at its highest level and thereby risk getting caught when the lifting
platform is lowered. The safety curtain is tted upon delivery.
