Sicherheitshinweise • Safety instructions
It is recommended to use torque wrenches
and screwdrivers.
Use electric screwdrivers with a slow speed.
Threads may get jammed if driven in at
too fast a speed, particularly stainless steel
screws and threads that are driven into alu-
minium.
Ensure that all screws are tightened evenly.
Uneven tightening can result in tension in
the aluminium and cast components as well
in the brickwork and therefore lead to failure
of the attachments.
Perform the fitting work in accordance with
the applicable occupational health and safe
-
ty guidelines and standards.
Safety ropes and/or safety belts fixed
to the articulated brackets may only be
removed after testing the attachment
of all components.
Check all equipment (scaffolding, ladders,
tools, etc.) and safety equipment (belts, ro
-
pes, etc.) for da,age prior to use.
Always use suitable protective equipment
(gloves, safety boots, goggles, hearing pro
-
tection, etc.).
If several persons work on the system, their
activities must be coordinated.
The working area beneath the awning must
be blocked off and protected to ensure that
persons cannot walk beneath the suspended
load without any protection.
The fitting and service personnel must be
instructed in accordance with all safety regu
-
lations.
Prior to fitting, check that all movable com
-
ponents are seated securely in their bearings
and brackets (supporting tube, fabric roller,
joints, brackets) and ensure that the articula
-
ted brackets cannot move uncontrolledly.
The articulated brackets are under great
spring tension!
Climbing aids:
Do not lean climbing aids against, or fix them
to, the awning. They must stand firmly and
provide sufficient support. Only use climbing
aids with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Fall protection:
There is a risk of falling when working at gre
-
at height. Use suitable fall protection.
Crushing and shearing zones:
Crushing and shearing zones are located
between the front profile and cassette and/
or covers and in the area around the articu
-
lated brackets as well as profiles that meet.
Clothing and/or body parts may be caught
by the system and pulled in!
Uncontrolled operation:
There is a risk of crushing and falling when
working on the awning!
When working on an electrically operated
system, disconnect the power supply (e.g.
circuit breaker / fuse OFF) and ensure that it
cannot be accidentally switched on again or
manually operated.
The crank of manually operated systems
must be removed and stored securely.
If awnings are operated by several users, an
overriding, switched interlock must be fitted
that makes it impossible to retract and ex
-
tend the awning.
Automatically retracting and exten
-
ding systems may cause injury.
Ensure that automatically controlled systems
are secured accordingly and that warning
devices are installed, if applicable (warning
lights, acoustic signals, warning signs).
