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!

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.

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.
