Mounting:
1.0 Fixation at the car
Depending on the local conditions the guard rail bases can be mounted on the car roofs in different ways.
Safety advice
Depending on the structure of the ceiling the mounting kit (Art.no. 078966) for guard rails has to be
used additionally and other individual measures may be necessary. The correct fixation
is incumbent on the user in all cases.
- An exact, parallel mounting of the guard rail bases is important especially for the foldable variants.
Otherwise the guard rail cannot be folded correctly.
- The distance between the angles must not exceed the total width of the guard rail.
- Attention when drilling:
There may be power lines running in the ceiling, e.g. for the cabin illumination!
1.1.1 Direct screwing of the guard rail bases:
If the construction of the car roof is stable
enough, the guard rail bases can be screwed
directly to the roof using the delivered M12 self-
locking screws and nuts.
With the washers the surface between the nut
and the car roof can be extended.
Proceed to point 2.0.
1.2.3 a) Mounting on a sheet metal car roof (with the mounting kit):
The mounting rails are placed parallely on the edge of the car roof
with the help of the guard rail bases and the positions for drilling are
marked.
After drilling the holes the rails can be screwed on the roof by means
of the self-locking screws and nuts. With the washers the surface
between the nut and the lower surface of the cabin ceiling can be
extended.
For a well-balanced force distribution one screw per rail has to be
placed near the car roof edge and at least one more in the middle of
the roof.

1.2.2 Screwing the guard rail bases on the
mounting kit 078966:
Depending on the structure of the ceiling the
guard rail has to be screwed on the mounting kit
with mounting rails. With this fixation method the
mounting surface is extended, which is favourable
for the power transmission to the car roof.
