3TECHNICAL DATA
3.1 Mechanical and structural components
The Agava SL structure consists of mechanical and structural components. The frame and the
rotating blades are made from extruded aluminium profiles (EN AW 6060 T66). Other connecting
parts are made of inox A2 and A4 material and galvanized steel S235. For details see the technical
drawings. The paint and the application are made by the latest technology to meet the high
standards of the international regulations and quality set out in GSB AL 631.
Although very durable and made by best practice and quality regulations, the exposure
to extreme saline environment can have impact on the surface of the product and can
cause blisters or scales on the surface. Such occurrences cannot be covered by warranty.
Scratches due to various reasons may occur on the surface of the profiles. In such cases
the warranty covers only those which are clearly visible by naked eye at a distance more
than 5 m. Some small color deviation may occur compared to the color of the products
in catalogues or other representational data. That is normal and is not covered by
warranty.
