Constant pull: Emergency lowering is activated. Emergency stop If the GH3 Twin does not stop/react to the hand control when the GH3 Twin is in use, pull the red strap and the lifting/lowering functions (except emergency lowering) are deactivated. When the emergency stop is activated, the hoist will not function.
Page 34
Emergency lowering function, electric The emergency lowering function is identified as the essential performance. If the GH3 Twin fails, the electrical emergency lowering function is used to lower the user safely. The emergency lowering function is operated by a con- stant pull on the red strap that is used for the emergency stop.
The indicator lamp on the bottom of the hoist turns yellow if the charge status becomes low or if there is a complete interruption of the charging function. The GH3 Twin then has a limited number of lifts available before it must be re-charged.
The horizontal lifter may be used only for horizontal relocation of people lying on a level, horizontal surface. The user must be lying on a Guldmann sling or on another suitable sling. A level surface can be, for example, a bed, a stret- cher or the floor.
For long-therm storage, disconnect the battery plugs and the plug at the charging PC from the battery. 4 .03 How to prevent/avoid corrosion? When the GH3 Twin is mainly used in an corrosive environment, e.g. swim- ming pool, the hoist must be ordered with a special corrosion-preventive surface treatment.
Do not use the lifting sling if it is damaged or defective. Do not use the GH3 Twin if the lifting strap is damaged or defective. Contact your supplier and order a new lifting sling or a replacement of the lifting strap.
In connection with the purchase Guldmann may offer a service agreement for this inspection. The GH3 Twin with service module may only be serviced by the Guldmann Service Team or by a qualified service technician with access to the PDA/Net Book with Guldmann Service and Information consol.
