be accessed for assembly or repair, an additional safety mechanism must be used (for example safety

DESCRIPTION SPECIAL ACCESSORIES

The cover door prevents unauthorised entry onto the climbing protection ladder. Opening the
door is only possible with the correct key and a matching runner in the system. That is to say
that it is not possible to open it without the runner, even if it is closed but not locked.
•
After ascending, the cover door swings shut by itself.
•
The door is lockable.
•
Details and installation instructions can be found in the instructions for the door.

COMMISSIONING
•
Checkpoints before the first ascent
•
Ensure that the position of the ladder is vertical.

The maximum angle of inclination of the straight guide rail is +-15° to the vertical (see fig.14 on page
28).
•
All bolted connections, mounting brackets to the building, mounting brackets to the ladder sections,
butt joints and end stops must be checked.
•
The end stop locking pin must move freely and lock the ascent route automatically.
•
The runner must not be left in the guide rail. It should be handed over to the end user along with the
operating instructions.
