INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE (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.
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
These instructions refer specifically to the Scenica
®
model.
3. REFERENCES
These instructions have been prepared, as have other instructions for use affixed to the machine, in accordance with point 1.7.4 of Directive
2006/42/EC taking into consideration normal conditions of use of the machine, to inform operators/users also of the residual risks that the
product presents.
4. ENVISAGED USE
The function of the installed flyscreen 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.
The flyscreen must be closed when wind speed reaches 20 km/h.
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. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS
Normal use of the flyscreen is allowed for non-professional operators provided they are aged 12 and over.
Installation, repair and extraordinary maintenance must be carried out by qualified technical personnel.
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 client and the installer are responsible for safety.
Before using any work platforms, scaffolding, steps and any personal protection equipment (slings/harness, safety belts, gloves, safety shoes,
helmets, etc.), check that they are in compliance with regulations and in good condition. Use suitable slinging equipment.
If there is more than one installer, the work must be coordinated and the tasks and responsibilities defined.
Operators must abide by the safety instructions received (POS).
If the product is to be installed on any floor above ground level, the area must be cordoned off and supervised while the product is being
raised to the relevant floor so that no person is under any suspended load.
The product packaging contains the instructions for installation, use and maintenance as well as a warranty: the installer must make sure that
they are read, explained and handed over to the end user.
7. INSTALLATION OF THE MECHANICAL STRUCTURE
Incorrect installation can cause injury to persons. Carefully read the instructions for correct fixing of the product so that there is no risk of it
falling down.
The state of the structure onto which the flyscreen will be fixed/anchored must be checked. The dynamic stress that the frame must
withstand with the flyscreen fully unrolled from the cassette is equivalent to a wind speed of 130 km/h.
In the presence of smooth and regular anchoring surfaces, for the products in which it is provided, it is possible to proceed with the
installation using the supplied double-sided adhesive tape. In this case it is important to degrease and dry the fixing surface before gluing
the double-sided adhesive, bearing in mind that complete adhesion is obtained after at least 24 hours. The blackout or filtering awning
can be installed on the wall or on the window frame: the choice of the anchor plugs for installation on the wall and the fixing screws for
installation on the window frame is dependent on the type and state of the wall or window . Installation of the blackout or filtering curtain
on the wall: for fixing the heads and lower feet it is advisable to use cylindrical-head screws with a 3x30 mm cross recess with a Euro 4
nylon plug, while for fixing the guides we recommend using 4x40 mm cylindrical-head screws with cross recess with Euro 6 nylon plug.
Installation of the blackout or filtering curtain on the window frame: for fixing the heads and lower feet it is advisable to use cylindrical-head
screws with a 3x20 mm cross recess, while for fixing the rails it is recommended to use cylindrical-head screws with imprint cross-shaped
3x12 mm. 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 and screws. The fixings or anchors and screws depend on the type and state of the
masonry/metal/frame structure on which the product is being installed/fixed. Wall plugs and screws are not supplied with the product. Take
care when handling the product: the winder mechanisms are mounted with loaded springs. The instructions for installation are described on
the sheet contained in the kit packaging. Any sealing must be done with neutral silicone resin.
8. MAINTENANCE
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 fabbric
or the mesh to protect it against the formation of mould/mildew caused by dust or other material being deposited on it. In addition, periodic
cleaning prevents the buildup of dust or other materials that may compromise the proper functioning of the product.
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 specialized personnel working in conformity with safety
regulations and who must use suitable personal protective equipment such as body harnesses with separate safety line (see Italian Legislative
Decree 81/2008).
8.2 Extraordinary maintenance
CAUTION: all extraordinary maintenance must be done by professionally qualified and trained personnel: it is therefore necessary to request
the service of a specialist.
If the flyscreen or any part of it needs to be dismantled, see the enclosed installation instructions.
If the mesh is torn, however small the tear, the mesh must be replaced.
Only use original spare parts otherwise the warranty is invalidated .
