5.3 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TWISTER-SAIL
WITH CRANK-OPERATED HEIGHT ADJUSTER:
The Twister-Sail may only be operated by people who have been briefed or who have read
and understood these operating instructions. Particular caution is required regarding people
who are unable to properly assess the risks arising from incorrect use. Never let children play
with the operating units! If required, mount the pull-cord fitting somewhere they will not be
able to reach.
Twister-Sails by shadesign should only be operated if checks have been made to ensure that
there are no obstacles in the Twister-Sail's range of movement.
Do not touch the tension cable while the Twister-Sail is rolling out! Things can become trapped
in moving parts, which poses a risk of injury.
Only use appropriate and approved ladders or other climbing aids when maintaining, repairing
and cleaning the system. Climbing aids must not be leant against or secured to any Twister-Sail
components. Ensure that any climbing aids are stable and have sufficient grip. Never hold onto
the system – this could result in injuries and falls! The Twister-Sail fabric screen and the tension
cable are flexible and can buckle and/or give way.
For safety reasons, please ensure that the system is not accidentally operated while work is
underway on the system. It should be made clear – by placing an appropriate sign next to
the pull-cord fitting – that work is underway on the system and that it must not be operated.
In frosty conditions, there is the danger that the formation of ice will cause the rolled up fabric
screen to freeze solid. If this happens, the system should never be violently tugged! The system
should only be operated again once it rolls down when the pull-cord is simply let up.
Foreign bodies or heavy soiling on the fabric screen must be removed immediately, since they
risk causing damage to or ruining the Twister-Sail.
If the weather is windy, very rainy or snowy, the Twister-Sail must be rolled up in order to
protect it from potential damage. For this reason, the Twister-Sail should not be left rolled out
during periods of absence either.
If the Twister-Sail is being uninstalled or replaced, please refer to the applicable disposal
regulations.
If you should happen to give away or sell the system, it is important that you also pass on these
instructions for its installation, operation, maintenance and care.
If the fabric screen gets damp or even wet, the Twister-Sail should be rolled out as soon as
possible so that it can dry (risk of formation of mould and black spots, which risks damaging
the fabric and its seams).
