Assembly ACO Light Shaft for
pedestrian/light vehicle (a.-h.)
a. Before securing the Light Shaft in
position, insert the grid and fix the grid
fastener to the Light Shaft.
b. Mark the position of the unit so that the
top edge of the Light Shaft is equal to
the finished surface of the ground level.
When using the ACO assembly aid, the
upper edge of the assembly aid should
equal the top edge of the Light Shaft.
The distance between the lower edge
of the window to the base of the Light
Shaft should be at least 15 cm (pursu-
ant to DIN 18195).
c. Mark the two upper fixing holes with
inserted grid.
d. Drill the holes.
e.
Pedestrian model:
Insert the dowels,
and bolt on the Light Shaft. Use slotted
washers if necessary.
Light vehicle model:
The Light Shaft
must be installed directly on the cellar
wall. Bang in the heavy duty anchors
with the screwed on nuts. Remove the
nuts, hang in the Light Shaft, bolt on
with the washer and the nuts.
Assembly on insulation pedestrian:
Bang in the heavy duty anchors with the
screwed on nuts through the insulation
and into the cellar wall. Remove the
nuts, hang in the Light Shaft, bolt on
with the washer and the nuts. Then drill
the lower holes and fasten the Light
Shaft into position.
f. Backfill carefully in layers with homo-
geneous material, and then compact.
The grid has to be in position during
the compaction process. The distance
between the compactor and the Light
Shaft should become larger as each
higher layer is compacted. The top
layer around the Light Shaft should be
compacted manually. This should be
done in accordance with the regula-
tions in DIN 18300.
g. Keep a proper distance away with
the vibrating plate, tamper and heavy
