Sicherheitshinweise • Safety instructions
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 accordan
-
ce with the applicable occupational
health and safety guidelines and stan-
dards.
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.
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 as well as profiles that meet. Clo
-
thing 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).
Proper use:
Use awnings for their defined purpose only,
as sun protection.
Awnings cannot be used in all weathers
and therefore must be retracted in wind or
storms as well as rain or snow.
If the awning is fitted with an automatic
controller (e.g. wind and sun monitor), this
must be switched off during winter or when
there is a risk of frost (risk of icing up). If the
awning is exposed to rain, it must be set to a
minimum tilt of 15°.
Any changes to the system design or equip-
ment configuration require written consent
from the manufacturer.
Additional loads on the awning from atta
-
ched objects or cable tensioning can cause
the awning to be damaged or crash and are
thus prohibited.
