Introduction
General
PERI products have been designed for
exclusive use in the industrial and com-
mercial sectors only by suitably trained
personnel!
When using PERI load-carrying equip-
ment, the Instructions for Use as well as
the information on the Type Plate must
be observed!
For the application and inspection of our
products, the current safety regulations
and guidelines must be observed in the
respective countries where they are
being used!
The contractor must ensure that the as-
sembly instructions provided by PERI
are available at all times for the users as
well as ensuring they are also fully un-
derstood!
The contractor can only assign those
persons to independently use load-car-
rying equipment who are actually famil-
iar with the task!
PERI load-carrying equipment is to be
used accordingly so that persons are
never put at risk in any way!
Safety Instructions
The maximum bearing capacity of PERI
load-carrying equipment must not be ex-
ceeded!
PERI load-carrying equipment must be
protected against the effects of the
weather and aggressive materials if
safety is then likely to be affected!
All persons using the load-carrying
equipment must check the equipment
during use for obvious defects (e.g.
deformations, cracks, breaks, incomplete
markings)!
Do not use damaged load-carrying
equipment!
PERI load-carrying equipment may not
be used with missing or illegible type
plate and/or inspection sticker!
The contractor must ensure that the
minimum requirements regarding per-
sonal protective equipment are fulfilled:
– protective gloves
– protective helmet
– safety shoes

Product-specific
The person who attaches the load to the
load-carrying equipment must be suffi-
ciently secured against falling. In all cas-
es, the load must be secured against
falling over and sliding!
Move loads only during the presence of
safe wind forces. Observe storm warn-
ings! Depending on the type of load and
the surface area subjected to wind at-
tack, the decision whether sufficient
safety is in place when moving the load
is taken at the time on the jobsite.
Use the specified load-carrying equip-
ment for moving loads. Before each lift-
ing procedure begins, check that the
load is securely connected to the lifting
gear.
Ensure loads are evenly balanced when
being picked up! Loads must be suffi-
ciently stable both in their form and
position so that the load does not move
during transportation!
Ensure that the load is in a safe and
secure position before releasing the
load-carrying equipment!
Always lift up or set down loads
smoothly without any jerking!
Safety Instructions
Before moving, remove or secure any
loose components!
Ensure that the steel wire rope or chains
are free of knots! Ensure that the lifting
chains of the load-carrying equipment
are not wrapped around the load to be
transported nor stretched over sharp
edges! Twisted chains must be straight-
ened!
Transporting persons on the load is pro-
hibited!
Components provided by the contractor
must meet site-related requirements
and comply with all applicable laws and
standards.
– Timber components: Strength Class
C24 for Solid Wood according to
EN 338.
– Scaffold tubes: galvanised steel tubing
with minimum dimensions
Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm according to
EN12811-1:2003 4.2.1.2.
– Scaffold tube couplings according to
EN 74.

Platform Connection CB 160
Introduction
The Platform Connection CB 160 serves
as a load-bearing point for accomodating
tensile forces. It may only be transported
by crane. It is used as a connection
between the working platform and lifting
gear.
The Platform Connection CB 160 is not
used in continuous operations and, after
being mounted on the Climbing Bracket
CB 160, is an integral part of the load.
The Platform Connection CB 160 may
be permanently fixed to the Climbing
Bracket CB 160 only at the designated
points.
Furthermore, timber can also be attached
to the Platform Connection CB 160.
Girders can be fixed on the timber to
form a working platform.
These Instructions for Use contain infor-
mation for ensuring proper handling and
correct application, inspection and main-
tenance.
The product described here corresponds
to the relevant provisions and regulations
of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
These Instructions for Use serve as the
basis for the project-related risk assess-
Intended Use
ment as well as instructions for the
provision and use of the system by the
contractor (user). However, they do not
replace them.
The Platform Connection CB 160 may
only be used:
1. Within the permissible load-bearing ca-
pacity.
2.Within the permissible temperature
limits of -20 °C to +60 °C.
3.When in faultless condition.
4.If correctly mounted.

Residual Risks
The use in a way not intended or deviat-
ing from the intended use according to
the Instructions of Use represents a
misapplication with a potential safety
risk.
Changes to PERI components are not
permitted and represent a misapplication
with associated safety risks.
Only PERI original components may be
used. The use of other products and
spare parts represents a misapplication
with associated safety risks.
Misapplications
The materials and components fully
comply with all valid safety regulations at
the time when they were first available
on the market. Nevertheless, a residual
risk cannot be ruled out in the case of
exceptional circumstances.

Platform Connection CB 160
Introduction
Store and transport the load-carrying
equipment in a way that its position
cannot unintentionally be changed nor
be damaged in any way.
Do not drop the load-carrying equipment.
During the moving procedure with the
crane, ensure that components are
picked up and set down so that uninten-
tional falling over, falling apart, sliding or
rolling is avoided.
Do not place any loads on the load-car-
rying equipment.
Storage and Transportation
Use original PERI storage and transport
systems, e.g. crate pallets.
Store them being cleaned and protected
against corrosion, at temperatures of
-20 °C to +60 °C in a dry place.
Please take care that PERI storage and
transport systems do not become dirty
or affected during transportation, inter-
mediate storage or due to remaining at-
tached to the load.
Care and Maintenance Instructions
The load-carrying equipment has been
designed for long-term use on the con-
struction site.
In order to maintain the value and opera-
tional readiness over a long period of
time, it is important that it is carefully
handled at all times. This is necessary
so that a cost-effective and technically-
sound use is guaranteed over the in-
tended duration of use.
Repairs are to be carried out through
PERI. Only original PERI components
are to be used.
Maintenance or the replacement of
worn components is essential if there
are signs of any visible damage.
