Installation manual
Connecting the handrail or mid rail:
The handrail and the mid rail are extended by attaching
the individual elements to each other, one after the other.
Attention!
Please ensure that the plug connectors are inserted as far
as possible.
The connector is permanently
secured using a drilling screw.
Corner:
Insert the cast joint into the handrail / mid rail, in each case
pre-drilling a bore hole with a diameter of 3.5 mm approx.
15 mm from the edge, and fix the joint with self-tapping dril-
ling screws. We recommend fixing the cast joint on one side of
the rail before mounting the rail, in order to prevent anything
dropping to the ground (roof edge!).
Assembled corner joint with maximum permissible
dimensions
The distance from the joint to the post is max. 0.44 m
on the one side and max 1.65 m on the second side.

Step 8: Installing the toe boards
This step is only necessary if the distance between the working
surface and the upper edge of the parpet is less than 15 cm.
Please ensure that the space between the lower edge of the
toe board and the surface of the substrate is always less than
20 mm. There are two types of mounting here, depending on
the height of the green roof build-up;
Case 1: Using the upper slotted hole at the post foot
for a post at 90° angle
for a post at 67.5° angle
Insert two hammer head bolts per
post into the lower T-groove of the
toe board, thread into the slotted
holes of the foot of the post, fit the
nuts and tighten.
Step 7: Install the green roof to provide
static equilibrium
In line with the instructions at the start of this document on
providing static equilibrium by means of the green roof, the
green roof is to be installed across the entire roof. In doing
this, the green roof will also cover the counterweight base
plate of the post foot, therefore providing the required ballast!
Case 2: Using 2 metal brackets per post
Where the green roof build-up is accordingly high, the toe
board is fixed directly to the guardrail post.
Insert four hammer head bolts into the T-groove of the toe
board and insert into the drill holes of the metal brackets on the
post. Then, fit the nuts and tighten.
Insert four hammer head bolts into the toe board guide, insert
into the holes of the butt or corner connector, fit washers and
nuts and tighten.
