where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. b

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.

NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflec- ted from structures, objects and people.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. An electromagnetic site survey should be considered to assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Golvo™ 9000 lift is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the mobile lift should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the mobile lift.

b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the mobile lift

The mobile lift is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the mobile lift can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the mobile lift as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Electrical emergency lowering / lifting Use a narrow object to press into the circle mark above each (Arrow),
See chapter “Operation” for more information.
Do not use sharp objects, since this may cause damage on the control box!
Mechanical Emergency Lowering Emergency lower by moving the handle up and down. Repeat the motion until the patient being lifted is on a firm surface; draw down the sling bar manually and continue to pump the handle until the sling bar is low enough to enable the sling’s strap loops to be unhooked.

Locking the Wheels
The rear wheels can be locked to prevent rotating and turning. The locking/unlocking of the wheels is done with the foot.
Locked wheels during lifting can increase the risk of tipping.
NOTE: When lifting, the wheels should be unlocked so that the lift can be moved to the patient’s center of gravity. The wheels should be locked, however, if there is a risk of the lift rolling into the patient, for instance, when lifting from the floor.

Lift strap adjustment

After mechanical emergency lowering

Restoring the lifting level
If the lift strap has been lengthened due to using the emergency lowing function, the lift interval height will be lower than previously. To restore maximum lifting height, the lift strap must be reset to its original length.

Do as follows

Remove any load / weight from the strap above the emergency lowering device. Do this by either placing the sling bar above the lift arm or by another person holding the sling bar up so that the strap hangs loose.
Lower and raise the handle with your left hand. At the same time tension the strap by turning the knob (a) clockwise with your right hand. Repeat this procedure until the red mark on the strap is just above the emergency lowering device.

Adjustment of the lift interval level
If it is necessary to reach a lower level with the sling bar, this can be arranged by lengthening the lift strap using the mechanical emergency lowering device. Do not lengthen the strap more than necessary as the highest obtainable lifting level is also affected.
An example of when it would be advantageous to lower the lift interval is when lifting from the floor using a sling whose strap loops do not reach up to the sling bar hooks when the lift is in its lowest position.

Do as follows
Push down the red emergency lowering handle at the same time as loading the sling bar (pull down the sling bar with your other hand). This extends the strap and the sling bar is lowered. Repeat until the required strap length is obtained.

Armrest
To use the armrest you need to rotate it from the (vertical) rest position up to the (horizontal) support position. The armrest have two purposes: to help the patient feel more secure and facilitate for the caregiver when moving the lift.
When using the lift to transfer a patient between rooms, the armrest should be set in the support position!

Parking the sling bar
When the lift is not in use or is being moved without a load, it can be beneficial to place the sling bar in the parking panel.
The parking panel is intended for parking Universal SlingBars 350, 450 and 600 (all models).
When the sling bar is parked in the parking panel, the lift should not be raised since this could be dangerous and cause personnel injury or damage to the lift if the sling bar should release and swing out from the panel.

Installation of Latches
After installation, ensure that the spring loaded clip is taut against the sling bar and moves freely in the sling bar hook.

Lift correctly!

Before each lift, make sure that:
the Sling loops at opposite sides of the Sling are at the same height
all the Sling loops are fastened securely in to the Slingbar hooks
the Slingbar is level during the lift, see Figure 1.
If Slingbar is not level (see Figure 2) or if the sling loops is wrongly attached to the Slingbar (see Figure 3) lower the user to a firm surface and adjust according to the Instruction for use of Sling in use.
An improper lift can be uncomfortable for the user and cause damage to the lift equipment! (see Figure 2 and figure 3).

Position of the Lift when Lifting

Transfer from car
Ensure that the lift used for car transfers is always stored and charged indoors. Outdoor operation should be kept to a minimum. Using the lift in harsh conditions such as rain, snow or extreme cold may impact the performance of the lift immediately.

Prerequisites
Transfer from car is applicable from the front and rear with the patient in a seated position. The caregiver must assess that transfer from the car is achievable. Considerations should be made regarding the status of the patient (status/condition, height and weight, position and accessibility), the relative size of the car and position of the lift equipment. The ground surface of the transfer area should be level, hard and smooth and free from gravel, debris, ice and potholes. Two caregivers are recommended for this task. A gurney or a wheel chair should be in the immediate vicinity of the car when performing the lift. Recommended slings for car transfer are the Universal Sling (models 000 & 002) and the High Back Sling (models 200/210/25/26). For correct sling application consult the sling instruction for use.

Do as follows

Apply the sling according to the sling instruction for use, a HandySheet or Tube can be used to reduce friction. One caregiver may assist from inside the car if necessary.
Position the lift as perpendicular as possible to the car, with the car door open. Keep the lift arm outside the car and the wheels of the lift unlocked.
Attach sling loops to the sling bar. Ensure the correct application of sling loops to the sling bar. Raise the lift to apply more tension on the sling. Rotate the patient toward the door opening and guide the legs of the patient out of the car. Apply friction reducing devices if necessary.
One caregiver must guide the sling bar and patient out of the car and ensure that the head of the patient is guided safely while exiting the car. The other caregiver will need to raise the lift while simultaneously pulling the lift backwards. Notice the correct grip on the sling bar to avoid pinch injuries to the caregiver as the sling bar is guided out of the car. Avoid placing hands between the sling bar and the door frame of the car.
Removal of the patient from the car is complete, contin-ue the transfer to a wheel chair or gurney.

Charging the Battery

Charger information

ON” – lights up green when the charger is connected to mains.
CHARGE” – lights up yellow constantly during charging and will turn off when charging is completed.

NOTE! Charging a deep discharged Li-ION battery
When charging a deep discharged Li-ION battery the charger will start charging at a low charging rate to protect the battery. normal charging state. The orange light of the control box will not be turned on as the operation is analogue. It is therefore not possible to see that the charging has started, however, only at a low level.

Maximum Load

Different maximum loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift unit, sling bar, sling and any other accessories used. For the assembled lift unit, including accessories, the maximum load is always the lowest maximum load rating for any of the components. A Golvo™ mobile lift that is approved for 200 kg (440 lbs) can be equipped with a lifting accessory that is approved for 300 kg (660 lbs). In this case, the maximum load of 200 kg (440 lbs.) applies to the assembled lift unit. Study the markings on the lift and lifting accessories or contact your Hill-Rom representative if you have any questions.

Recommended Lifting Accessories

Using lifting accessories other than those approved can entail a risk.
Generally recommended sling bars and accessories for Golvo mobile lifts are described below.
When changing a sling bar or other lifting accessories, the highest possible lifting height of the lift is affected. Before changing lifting accessories you should always ensure that the lift, after change, can fulfil the desired lifting height in order to manage the lifting situations for which the lift is to be used.
