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.
