- Only trained and qualified personnel should install the equipment;
- the installer must first make a "risk analysis" of the machine;
- the equipment must be installed in a correct and workmanlike manner in compliance with all
the standards concerned;
- after installation, the machine owner must be given the "declaration of conformity".
This product may only be installed and serviced by qualified personnel in compliance with current,
laws, regulations and directives.
When designing its products, TAU observes all applicable standards (please see the attached
declaration of conformity) but it is of paramount importance that installers strictly observe the
same standards when installing the system.
Unqualified personnel or those who are unaware of the standards applicable to the "automatic
gates and doors" category may not install systems under any circumstances.
Whoever ignores such standards shall be held responsible for any damage caused by the sys-
tem!
Do not install the unit before you have read all the instructions.
