V. Adjusting the distance between the bars
(two people advised):
1 - Adjustment is possible without loosen the cabling: press
the button of the 2 spreaders (8) in the same time.
2 - Ajust the distance wanted matching the graduation in cm,
pushing or pulling the short upright (7).
3 - Release the button before the right position, then pull
each short upright until hear "CLAC".
4 - The spreaders (8) are locked when each notching button
is 1.5cm out of the sliding tube.
Important: Both spreaders (8) must be adjusted to the same
value: real distance between hand-rails (F.I.G. height).
Nota : If spreaders (8) catching is difficult, check balancing
tension of cables to keep the verticallity of the uprights tall (6)
and short (7), and line them up with the same base (1) like
shown on Figure 5.
VI. Adjustment values:
Lower hand-rail:
Upper hand-rail:
Distance between hand-rails:
F.I.G. adjustment of 1,80 m between hand-rails :
- Upper hand-rail height (Upper edge from the floor) :
2,50 m (2
- Lower hand-rail height (Upper edge from the floor) :
1,70 m (3
- Spreader position : 180
VII. Usage and Benefits:
- The adjustment between hand-rails is done quickly without
modifying the adjustment of cabling.
- The uneven parallel bars allow you to quickly and easily
remove the lower hand-rail in order to use the high bar only.
Simply release the quick tightener (see: NM177 or NM178) on
the lower hand-rail and remove its two pins (17) to remove
the hand-rail. Thus you can safely use the upper hand-rail
only.
For safety reasons:
- Never use abrasive materials on the hand-rails (16), in order to avoid modifying their mechanical properties or their
dimensions.
VERY IMPORTANT:
- Don't fit a high bar hand-rail on the tall uprights for a GAM use, to avoid all premature damage of the apparatus (warranty
validity).
VIII. Maintenance:
1 - A regular cleaning of the apparatus allows better viewing of the problems, if any (distortion, breakage, or corrosion).
2 - Before use, check wear parts and safety elements each time for good condition and operation:
- pads (2), silent-blocs (9) spreader, thumbscrews (12) (tightened), aluminum cups (13), pawls (11) and spreaders (8)
(notched), swivel heads (15), hand-rails pins (17) (locked).
- visual inspection of correct tightening and condition of the hand-rails (16), and all the bracing cable elements (cables,
tighteners, quick links locked, etc.).
3 - Maintenance of the hand-rail (16):
- Remove the pins (17), clean (magnesium deposits), lubricate the hand-rails ends, then re-install the hand-rails.
4 - Check the tightening of cabling (20) or (21) and closure of quick links, ... (see NM177, NM178), before each use.
5 - Check the correct tightening of all attachment elements (4) + (10) + (5) + (25) and the locking of anchors.
6 - Important:
- If a problem is detected or suspected, do not use the equipment as long as it has not been checked by a technician.
- Any damaged or distorted piece should be replaced as soon as possible.
IX. Storage:
Always store the equipment away from humidity and heat.
