Checking
the delivered condition
Do not remove the units from their packaging until immediately
before fitting.
The fitting sequence is determined by the delivered condition:
■ single-piece guideway:

■ multi-piece guideway:
– covering strip is delivered in the packaging, together with
the guideway, in the form of a coil.
Seals on the carriages The carriages are fitted with the appropriate sealing system for
covering strip ADE.
NOTICE
When replacing carriages or guideways (due to repair or crash),
take into consideration that older carriages used in combination
with covering strip ADE must be retrofitted with the corresponding
