WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Make sure that no water pipes, electrical lines or any other lines are behind the intended place
of mounting.
Only use wall plugs and screws which are suitable for the intended mounting and structural
fabric. All screws must be set and tightened properly. Ensure that the fixing holes have the
correct depth and diameter. Always use all fixing holes.
Check the Double Stud connections each time you install the CBT24
cradle bar for flying.
They must be firmly engaged and secured with a safety locking splint. If this is no longer pos-
sible, the Double Stud connections with the safety locking splints must be replaced.
When working with heavy loads exceeding 20 kg (44 lbs.), use suitable aids (dollies, hoisting
slings, etc.). Multiple persons may be required depending on the situation.
