Figure 4 - Short Upright
V. Adjusting the distance between the bars
(two people advised)
:
1 -
Adjustment is possible without loosen the cabling: press
the button of the 2 spreaders
(8)
in the same time.
2 -
Ajust the distance wanted matching the graduation in cm,
pushing or pulling the short upright
(7)
.
3 -
Release the button before the right position, then pull
each short upright until hear "CLAC".
4 -
The spreaders
(8)
are locked when each notching button
is 1.5cm out of the sliding tube.
Important:
Both spreaders
(8)
must be adjusted to the same
value: real distance between hand-rails (F.I.G. height).
Nota :
If spreaders
(8)
catching is difficult, check balancing
tension of cables to keep the verticallity of the uprights tall
(6)
and short
(7)
, and line them up with the same base
(1)
like
shown on
Figure 5
.
VI. Adjustment values:
Lower hand-rail:
1.60 to 1.90 m
Upper hand-rail:
2.45 to 2.75 m
Distance between hand-rails:
1.20 to 2.09 m
F.I.G.
adjustment of
1,80 m
between hand-rails :
-
Upper hand-rail height (Upper edge from the floor) :
2,50 m (2
d
hole notching)
-
Lower hand-rail height (Upper edge from the floor) :
1,70 m (3
th
hole notching)
-
Spreader position : 180
VII. Usage and Benefits:
-
The adjustment between hand-rails is done quickly without
modifying the adjustment of cabling.
-
The uneven parallel bars allow you to quickly and easily
remove the lower hand-rail in order to use the high bar only.
Simply release the quick tightener (see: NM177 or NM178) on
the lower hand-rail and remove its two pins
(17)
to remove
the hand-rail. Thus you can safely use the upper hand-rail
only.
For safety reasons:
-
Never use abrasive materials on the hand-rails
(16)
, in order to avoid modifying
their mechanical properties or their
dimensions.
VERY IMPORTANT:
-
Don't fit a high bar hand-rail on the tall uprights for a GAM use, to avoid all premature damage of the apparatus (warranty
validity).
VIII. Maintenance:
1 -
A regular cleaning of the apparatus allows better viewing of the problems, if any (distortion, breakage, or corrosion).
2 -
Before use, check wear parts and safety elements each time for good condition and operation:
-
pads
(2)
, silent-blocs
(9)
spreader, thumbscrews
(12)
(tightened), aluminum cups
(13)
, pawls
(11)
and spreaders
(8)
(notched), swivel heads
(15)
, hand-rails pins
(17)
(locked).
-
visual inspection of correct tightening and condition of the hand-rails
(16)
, and all the bracing cable elements (cables,
tighteners, quick links locked, etc.).
3 -
Maintenance of the hand-rail
(16)
:
-
Remove the pins
(17)
, clean (magnesium deposits), lubricate the hand-rails ends, then re-install the hand-rails.
4 -
Check the tightening of cabling
(20)
or
(21)
and closure of quick links, ... (see NM177, NM178), before each use.
5 -
Check the correct tightening of all attachment elements
(4)
+
(10)
+
(5)
+
(25)
and the locking of anchors.
6 - Important:
-
If a problem is detected or suspected, do not use the equipment as long as it has not been checked by a technician.
-
Any damaged or distorted piece should be replaced as soon as possible.
IX. Storage:
Always store the equipment away from humidity and heat.
