INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE (TRANSLATION OF ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS)
1. PURPOSE
These instructions are intended for those who use the flyscreen, such as the installer, maintenance person, owner or user.
With this instruction booklet Bettio Flyscreens S.r.l. wishes to provide Customers with a tool for better, correct use of the flyscreens so
as to optimize their performance and avoid accidents during installation and use.
For correct and best use of the system it is therefore recommended that these notes be kept to hand for quick reference whenever required.
Supplementary information may be had in the Operating and Maintenance Guide and the Technical File available at the Company's offices.
2. SCOPE
This instruction booklet refers specifically to the Adriatico model.
3. REFERENCES
These instructions have been prepared, as have other instructions for use accompanying the accessories, in accordance with point 1.7.4 of
Directive 2006/42/EEC taking into consideration normal conditions of use of the flyscreen, to inform installers and users also of the residual
risks that the product presents.
4. ENVISAGED USE
The function of the installed system is solely to provide protection against the intrusion of insects and small animals into the environments to
be protected.
Any use other than has been described above is considered incorrect and is therefore forbidden, since the relative working conditions
will not have been taken into account when the manufacturer analysed the risks and consequently there could be no specific
protective devices fitted. Do not lean against the mesh. Do not let go of the handle rail until the mesh screen is fully rewound.
Misuse relieves the manufacturer from all liability for any injury to persons or damage to property. Failure to comply with the conditions
of use automatically invalidates any type of warranty given by the manufacturer.
5. USER REQUIREMENTS
Normal use of the flyscreen is allowed for non-professional users provided they are aged 12 and over.
Installation, repair and maintenance must be carried out by persons with sufficient technical-practical skills to use the necessary equipment,
also electrical, in all safety.
6. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Installation must be carried out in full compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 and subsequent amendments and additions for all
that concerns the safety of persons.
In accordance with current laws, the installer is responsible for everything that regards the safety of the installed product.
Before using any tools (drills, screwdrivers, work platforms, scaffolding, steps and all personal protection equipment, slings/harness, safety
belts, gloves, safety shoes, helmets, etc.), check that they are in compliance with regulations and in good condition.
If there is more than one installer, the work must be coordinated and the tasks and responsibilities defined.
The installer must abide by the applicable safety instructions received. If the flyscreen is to be installed on any floor above ground level, the
area must be cordoned off and supervised while the flyscreen is being raised to the relevant floor so that no person is under any suspended
load.
7. INSTALLATION OF THE MECHANICAL STRUCTURE
Incorrect installation can cause injury to persons. Carefully read the instructions for correct fixing of the flyscreen so that there is no
risk of it falling down.
The state of the wall on which the flyscreen will be fixed must be checked on the basis of the dynamic stress that the flyscreen will exert
in relation to a wind speed of 50 km/h, which corresponds to the wind resistance class described in UNI EN 13561 and calculated with
reference to EN 1932.
The fixings or anchors depend on the type and state of the wall. It is advisable to use Fischer type plastic expansion plugs with 4X40 mm
screws, which are contained in the kit. With hollow bricks use suitably sized expansion plugs with chemical adhesive.
If the resistance requirements necessary for safe fixing are not satisfied, increase the number of wall plugs.
TAKE CARE WHEN HANDLING THE FLYSCREEN: THE WINDER MECHANISMS ARE MOUNTED WITH LOADED SPRINGS.
The instructions for preparation and installation are described on the sheet contained in the enclosed accessories box.
Any sealing must be done with neutral silicone resin.
The flyscreens must be closed when the wind speed reaches 20 km/h.
8.MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: all maintenance work must be carried out in all safety using suitable CE-marked equipment.
8.1 Routine maintenance
Given the high quality of the materials used in making the flyscreen, no routine maintenance is envisaged other than cleaning the blind to
protect it against the formation of mould/mildew caused by dust or other material being deposited on the mesh.
The mesh must be visually inspected at least twice a year; in spring before being used for the summer and in autumn before packing it up
for the winter. The mesh may be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or with a sponge or cloth dampened with lukewarm water. Let the mesh dry
thoroughly after cleaning before winding it up. Do NOT use solvents, ammonia or hydrocarbons for cleaning.
CAUTION: cleaning carried out using steps, platforms or such must only be done by suitably experienced personnel working in
conformity with safety regulations and who must use suitable personal protective equipment and if necessary also body harnesses
with separate safety line (see Italian Legislative Decrees 81/2008)
8.2 Extraordinary maintenance
CAUTION: If the flyscreen or any part of it needs to be dismantled, see the enclosed instructions. If the mesh is torn, however small the
tear, the mesh must be replaced.
If replacement is necessary, only use original spare parts otherwise the warranty is invalidated.
