Material delivered in cardboard packaging
�Small, lightweight, easy to
handle materiel
In this case, the products can be easily handled
without any lifting gear, taking care to position
the product according to the directional arrows
on the packaging.
In the absence of arrows indicating the top and
bottom, use the position of the various product
identity labels which are always placed at the
top.
�Heavy or cumbersome material
requiring the use of lifting gear
In this case, it is possible to use a fork lift truck,
provided it is used correctly.
Before moving, ensure the material is properly
positioned, and that the load is evenly balan-
ced.
Fixed articles, furniture, wall furniture
When the cardboard carton has been taken
away, remove remaining protective packaging
and install the product.
For wall furniture, make sure the following two
devices are properly installed : a suitable wall
fixture, a levelling device.
For other products, before installing, check that
the product is stable.
For certain models, adjustable levellers enable
you to improve this stability, and to make sure
the article is level.
If the product has separate accessories, fol-
low the accompanying mounting instructions to
attach them (shelves, glass doors, shelf sup-
ports).
Dismounted material
These products are delivered unassembled.
The various elements are protected by the following types of packaging :
– plastic (vinyl) packaging,
– bubble film packaging / foam or polystyrene,
– cardboard packaging.
Products delivered on wooden palettes
Products placed on a wooden palette may easily be moved using a forklift truck, provided this is
used correctly.
Before moving, ensure the truck is correctly positioned in relation to the palette, and that the
whole is stable.
You must pay particular attention when handling very tall or high articles (eg. cupboards).
Installation Instructions

Unpacking
When installing, remove all staple clips and
carefully remove the cardboard packaging.
Fragile parts of the product (upholstery cove-
rings, plastic casings, etc.) may be just below
the packaging. Care must be taken with cutting
instruments.
Once the packaging has been removed, remo-
ve any remaining protective covering.
In the case of packaging on a wooden palette,
remove the packaging as above. Depending
on the model, the product is fixed either by
screwed flanges, or by nailed wooden stakes.

hammer (for wooden stakes). Lift the article off
the palette, and take away the remaining pro-
tective covering. The product is now ready for
use.

Warning
You must read the installation instructions,
technical instructions, and instructions for use
before handling this equipment. The instrument
must be used only for the specific purpose for
which it is designed, and which is described in
our literature. The assembly and connection to
the mains must be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel. Under no circumstances must electrical
parts (motor, unit housing the electrical control
systems, control unit, adaptor etc.) be opened.
PROMOTAL cannot be held responsible for
any damage resulting from the instructions not
being followed.
General maintenance
Except for appropriate regular cleaning, our
products do not require any particular main-
tenance. The mechanical parts used as bloc-
king mechanisms (smooth arch, notched arch,
ratchet mechanisms, etc.) do not require any
specific attention. The gas springs on tables do
not require any maintenance. Their shaft must
be kept clean, must not be subject to jolts or
hard knocks, and must not be cleaned with any
corrosive products. The electric and hydraulic
jacks do not require any particular attention.
The variable height tables, chairs and trolleys
are equipped either :
– With arms fitted with self lubricating ar-
ticulation rings.
– With telescopic bearing runners. In this
case they should be lubricated once
a year (particularly if the runners are
noisy) with ordinary grease. (See the
exploded drawings for access to the
runners).

Instructions for Use

Stainless steel products
Cleaning and Maintenance : For maintenan-
ce of stainless steel products, periodic clea-
ning of the surface is sufficient. This operation
is necessary to keep the products clean, but is
facilitated by the quality of stainless steel sur-
faces. A large range of products and cleaning
methods may be used. The choice of the most
suitable products to be used will depend on the
nature of the marks or on the product content,
and on the conditions of use of the stainless
steel elements.
Cleaning agents :
a) Detergent - washing liquids : All types
of detergents, washing liquids and com-
mercial soaps may be used, provided
they do not contain any chlorine pro-
ducts.
b) Abrasive powders : These products
may scratch the stainless steel surface,
thereby changing the way it looks, at
least in places. They should therefore
not be used.
c) Solvants : The use of solvants may be
useful in getting rid of grease marks.
The usual solvants (benzene, methyle-
ne chloride, white spirits etc.) as well as
domestic or specially prepared indus-
trial products may be used. Naturally
their use requires certain precautions to
be taken because of their inflammable
and toxic properties. Precautions must
also be taken to avoid damaging adja-
cent materials which may be sensitive
to their chemical action (paints, mastics,
joints etc.).
d) Acid products : Vinegar (acetic acid)
may be used to get rid of stains made
by calcium deposits. Its contact with the
surfaces must be of a very limited dura-
tion, and the surface must then be tho-
roughly and carefully rinsed with clean
water. The use of chlorine based pro-
ducts is forbidden.
e) Bases : They are strictly forbidden.
Others : The use of steel wool or metal spon-
ges is strictly forbidden.
Laminated elements
Cleaning and Maintenance : As for PVC. Use window cleaning products.
PVC and ABS products
Cleaning and Maintenance : The use of commercial cleaning products, such as window clea-
ning products, are perfectly suitable for PVC and ABS surfaces. To brighten up an old or dull
surface, plastic restorer products may be used. Please note that the use of any solvants or any
abrasive products is strictly forbidden.
Chrome finished products
These products have been covered with a chrome coating to protect them from oxydization.
Cleaning and Maintenance : It is vitally important, in order not to damage this protective coating,
that abrasive and / or corrosive products should not be used. The use of commercial cleaning
products, such as window cleaning products, are perfectly suitable for chrome coated surfaces.
If necessary, an appropriate disinfectant may be used on chrome (make sure the instructions are
followed).
