authorised personnel. The system operator is obliged to observe the following safety condi-
tions:
-
We require that the AS 2.1 pitched roof system components and the outer surface of the
roof installed are inspected and serviced at least once a year. At a minimum, the following
points must be checked:
»
All mechanical connections must be checked to ensure they are stable, secure
and correctly tightened
»
The situation of the system on the roof, and the condition of the system itself as
regards deformation
»
Cabling must be inspected to ensure there is no damage
»
PV modules must be inspected to ensure there is no damage
-
The frames may only be mounted by personnel with relevant qualifications, trade skills and
basic knowledge of the mechanics involved.
-
Make sure personnel charged with mounting, installation and servicing on your behalf are
capable of evaluating the hazards and recognising the possible dangers.
-
This installation manual is integral to the product itself and must be available at all times
during mounting and installation.
-
Ensure all personnel charged with mounting and installing systems have read and un-
derstood the installation instructions, and particularly the safety information, before work
commences.
-
There must be absolute compliance with the rules and regulations of the responsible trade
association, local work safety directives and all applicable rules for technical equipment.
-
Only suitable lifting devices and ladders must be used for mounting purposes. The use of
ladders that are only leaned against structures is not permitted
-
Evaluation of the existing structural statics of the building and roof in question must be con-
ducted by a certified structural engineer to ensure existing structures can bear the additio-
nal weight and forces caused by a PV system.
-
Make sure you are aware that ALUMERO Systematic Solutions GmbH applies maximum
weight limits to take various eventualities into account, such as the need to climb on roofs
to clear snow and reduce weight.
