GENERAL ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS

All individual parts must be cleaned of dirt prior to being fitted.
Contact of the system with aggressive substances and chemicals as well as mortar, cement or similar materials
should be avoided. Mortar residue and / or other contaminants must be removed immediately to ensure proper
functioning of the product. The products must be installed strictly according to the assembly instructions of the
manufacturer. Deviations are not permitted. Only original SKYLOTEC parts should be used for assembly and
replacement. The components should be treated with care and must not be used improperly.
Since structurally anchored attachment points/devices are no longer subject to the PPS Directive, they may
no longer be CE marked. In Germany the building inspectorate approval is required for such products. In
Europe, different national regulations apply to these products; under certain circumstances a specific
approval is required.
