gram, supplied loose in package, with acces-
sories (supporting block and rivets)
Which means of attachment are being used?
• The tting materials are not included in the
scope of delivery!
• The selection of the tting materials is based
on the mounting bases on hand, the load-
bearing capacities of which are to be checked
before the installation. Observe without limi-
tation the regulations of the manufacturers of
dowel and fitting materials.
WARNING
Danger of injury/property damage
caused by unsuitable fitting materials
The fitting materials are to be selected
in accordance with the load-bearing ca-
pacity of the mounting bases.
Which parts are to be positioned where on
the structure?
• Sash packet with pre-installed hinge profile
on the on-site connection profile
• Shutter catch on the reveal
• Stop angle in the centre of the espagnolette
• Additional central stop angles for joint profiles
PE-G60/-G80/-G100
What must be observed during on-site per-
formance?
• The connection profile must be aligned per-
pendicularly on-site prior to installation.
• The customer is responsible for ensuring that
the sash packets are properly fastened to the
connection profile and that suitable fitting ma-
terials are used.
WARNING
Danger of injury/property damage
caused by falling folding sliding sashes
Missing or incorrectly set locking parts
may result in the sash packets falling.
Secure the sash packets using the
shutter catches when open and the es-
pagnolette when closed.
CAUTION
Risk of cutting injuries caused by the
sharp edges on the vertical profiles
Use gloves for the installation.
What is to be taken into account with the
function check?

the sash packets align in the middle when
closed?
• Is there a sufficient gap (10 mm) between the
frame edge and edge of the reveal to prevent
the screw heads from touching?
