SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS

The AS 2.1 pitched roof system is intended solely to carry PV modules. Any other applica-
tions of the system shall be considered examples of misuse. Correct use of this infrastruc-
ture also entails adherence to the guidelines and recommendations in these instructions. 
ALUMERO shall accept no liability for damages resulting from neglect to adhere to the ins-
tallation manual, particularly in cases of incorrect use of the product.

- ALUMERO shall under no circumstances accept liability for losses of performance suffered 
by the system, or damage to the system, whatever their nature.

All work carried out on the PV system should be conducted in full compliance with these 
instructions. Installation, commissioning, servicing and repair may only be conducted by 
specialists with recognised relevant certification and qualifications.

Please observe all current and applicable rules and safety advice.

Observation of these accident prevention regulations is mandatory:

-

   BGV A 1 – General official guidelines 

-

   BGV A 3 – Electric systems and items in operation 

-

   BGV C 22 – Construction and installation work (PPE for fall prevention & falls) 
   BGV D 36 – Ladders and steps 

-

   Trade association rules on health and safety at work BGR 203 for work on roofs, and DIN  

     EN 516 regarding infrastructure required to work on roofs, work clothing and work safet  
     rules according to trade association regulations

You are obliged to adhere to the following DIN norms:

-

    DIN 18299 – General regulations for all types of construction work 

-

    DIN 18338 – Roof covering and roof sealing work 

-

    DIN 18360 – Metal structure work and construction 

-

    DIN 4102 – Combustibility and flammability of building materials and components

Work on systems made by Alumero Systematic Solutions GmbH may only be conducted by 
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.
