before beginning installation procedures.
2. Check the shutter to be sure it is not broken or damaged, and that it
opens and closes smoothly.

Correct use
The RA5 - RA55 tubular drives are designed for the exclusive
purpose of operating shutters and sun-blind systems.
They serve to open and close these systems and replace the
person that is usually operating the installation.
Therefore, tubular drives may only be installed in faultless
shutter- or sun-blind systems. Rough-running systems have to
be repaired. Replace defective parts. This guarantees safe
operation and avoids damage during opening or closing.
Any other form of usage is deemed to be incorrect. Neither the
manufacturer nor the supplier assumes any liability for personal
injury, damage to property or consequential injury or damage
occurring as a result of the use of the control units and / or drives for
purposes other than those mentioned above or due to changes made
to the equipment affecting the safety of the given system.
The details stipulated in the Operating Instructions in respect of the
operation and repair of the system require strict observance. Neither
the manufacturer nor the supplier assumes any liability for
personal injury, damage to property or consequential injury or
damage occurring as a result of non-compliant actions.
In compliance with standard EN 60 335-2-97:2000, the cable
connecting the drives to the mains cable must be laid internally.
According to DIN 18073 shuter box lid must always be easily
accessible and removable.
