Who is allowed to fit markilux Awnings?
The markilux fitting instructions are intended for qualified fitters, who have experienced knowledge in the following fields:
•
Work safety, operating safety and regulations for the prevention of accidents
•
Handling ladders and scaffolding
•
Handling and transport of long, heavy components
•
Handling tools and machines
•
Attaching fastening materials
•
Assessment of the construction material
•
Commissioning and operation of the product
If one of these qualifications is lacking, a specialist installation firm must be commissioned.
Electrical work: Electrical installations must be carried by a qualified electrician according to VDE 0100. The installation instructions enclosed with the electrical devices supplied
are to be observed. It is recommended that fitting is performed with at least two persons, for larger awnings with three.
2. Before beginning with the installation, it is to be checked,...
•
... whether the fitting fixtures supplied correspond in type and number with the order ,
•
... whether the specifications made with the order concerning the fastening background correspond with the actual fastening background at hand (only for folding-arm awn-
ings).
If divergences are determined herewith, which impair safety, then the fitting may not be carried out.
3.
Reading and passing on the instructions
The safety and fitting instructions as well as the operating guides are to be read and
observed!
The markilux operating guide, as well as the setting instructions of the motor, switch
and controller manufacturers are to be handed over to the user with a
written
confirma-
tion and fitted wind class (see handover declaration) He is to be comprehensively
enlightened about the safety and usage information of the awning. With non-observance
and maloperation, the awning can suffer damage and accidents can occur.
4.
Working at greater heights
If the awning unit has to be hoisted to a higher area with the help of ropes, then the awning is
•
to be removed from the packaging,
•
to be connected with the lifting ropes in such a way, that it cannot fall out,
•
to be pulled up evenly in a horizontal position.
The same also applies for the dismantling of the awning.
When working at greater heights, there is a risk of falling. Suitable climbing aids and appropriate fall safety devices are to be utilized.
6.
Partly assembled awnings
With awnings partly assembled at works – e.g. coupled folding-arm awnings without
cover – those parts under spring tension (see illustration: example folding-arm awning)
are to be secured against unintentional opening. These safety devices may only be
removed after the installation is complete.
There is a high risk of injury from the marked awning parts under tension!
7.
Partly assembled awnings
The servo transmission of folding-arm awnings (marked with a sticker) may not be
dismantled, it is under high tension!
If the awning cover or the transmission is to be exchanged, beforehand please request
the guide
„What to do when... the servo drive needs to be dismantled?“
