Lifting sling
A lifting sling with four to eight lifting straps designed for mounting on hooks
should be used when using a Guldmann lifting hanger.
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.
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).

Caution!
Be careful when attaching the lifting sling’s straps on the hooks. Check
that the straps have been correctly placed in the lifting hanger’s hooks.
When pressing the up button on the hand control to lift the user, check
again that all straps remain correctly placed in the lifting hanger’s
hooks (Fig. 1).

Lifting to and from a seated position
When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move the GHZ 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.
