Intended use GH1 F is a lifting module that covers the need for lifting and moving a person with disabilities, and for walking training. GH1 F is intended for professional use in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and in private homes and buildings, where operators with medical/clinical training are continually available on site or on call. Conditions for use The use of the GH1 F is subject to the following: • • • • • • • •

The GH1 F should only be used by trained personnel. The maximum nominal load, 175 kg (385 lbs), 205 kg (450 lbs) and 255 kg (560 lbs), respectively, must not be exceeded (section 1.04). The instruction offered by Guldmann to all customer groups in connection with the purchase of a ceiling-mounted hoist has been received. The helper pays attention to the well-being of the user when using the hoist. The hoist is used in rail systems which are installed, tested and approved according to DS/EN 10535 and Guldmann’s stipulations. Only technicians who have been certified by Guldmann may install and test the rail systems. The hoist is used with a Guldmann lifting hanger (section 1.08). The hoist is used with a Guldmann lifting sling or with other suitable slings (section 1.09). The flexibility of GH1 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 any tools. GH1 F with lifting accessories is transported and stored in a specially designed transport trolley.

Read the instructions carefully before using the hoist and in connection with cleaning and service of the hoist The hoist’s maximum load must never be exceeded. The hoist may only be used to lift a person. The red strap for the emergency stop and the emergency lowering must be adjusted to the helper’s reach, and must not be removed. If a defect or fault appears during use of the hoist, stop using the hoist, pull the emergency stop and refer the hoist to the Guldmann service team for repairs. The hoist is controlled by a microprocessor PCB, which can be damaged by static electricity if touched without the necessary precautions, (see point 1.08) The electronics may only be serviced by Guldmann approved service technicians. For safety reasons the side cover may only be dismantled when the emergency stop is activated (see point 3.01). The user may not hold their hands around the lifting strap during lift and transfer. The lifting hanger must not be mounted or replaced when the hoist is positioned over the patient. Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacture The GH1 F needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in Chapter 12 EMC Information. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the GH1 F. The use of ACCESSORIES, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers and cables sold by Guldmann A/S of the GH1 F as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased EMISSIONS or decreased IMMUNITY of the GH1 F. The GH1 F should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the GH1 F should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. Transport of this equipment should only be undertaken after conditions described in section 3.00 (Environmental conditions).

Please notice, when placing a new GH1 F hoist in an existing rail system it must be ensured that:

1.08

•

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 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. During the test the deflection of the 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 brackets according to max load). Power supply GH1 F is equipped with a battery that requires regular recharging. The power supply must be connected to the power socket. The enclosed power supply 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, for instance a radiator or a water pipe. The technician/installer must then put on the bracelet 7

and connect it to the mat. If it is not possible to find 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. 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.

Lifting to and from a seated position When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move the GH1 F 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 center marks of the lifting sling should follow the user’s 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.

Important! Only persons who have received competent instruction regarding the use of lifting equipment and fitting 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. 1.11

Combi-lock, automatic Intended use The Combi-lock is used to move a person from one rail system to another. Purpose Use the Combi-lock when connecting one rail system to another. The Combi-lock enables a secure connection to be made between two rail systems, e.g. when operating from a single-track rail system in the bedroom to a room-covering system in the bathroom. The Combi-lock requires no manual operations. Using the Combi-lock When activating the Combi-lock, position the traverse rail opposite the fixed rail, where the locking mechanism is automatically activated (the rail systems lock together). Now it is possible to run the hoist from one rail system to the other. When the traverse rail is moved away from the fixed rail, the locking mechanisms are re-activated to secure the hoist and prevent it from running off the rail. The hoist must always be run completely past the Combi-lock before the traverse rail is moved away (the Combi-lock must be visible). The rail systems are optimally connected at a max. distance of 1000 mm between the hoist and the Combi-lock; you may also refer to the marking label on the rail. At this distance, a secure and easy connection can be made. At a distance greater than 1000 mm, it is more difficult to position the two rail systems opposite one another. Please note that the connection works regardless of the position of the hoist in relation to the Combi-lock.
