11.- USAGE AND MAINTENANCE
11�1 - INSTALLATION
Before the assembly of the canopies, the technical management of the works or the engineering
company that carries out the installation project must draft a technical project in which the housings
(foundations, footings, support structure, etc.) are sized accordingly with the resulting stressed exerted
on the canopy due to wind and snow indicated by the regulations applicable to the specific location of
the canopy.
11�1�1�- ASSEMBLY ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS
The canopies must be assembled following the instructions in this assembly manual. Under no
circumstances may parts or pieces be modified, or steps omitted.
11�1�2�- DIFFICULTIES AND VARIATIONS DURING ASSEMBLY
Any damage detected during the assembly, either as a result of the actual process or if any part does
not match those described in the manual, must be notified of to the company supplying the structure.
11�1�3�- BONDING OF PARTS AND TIGHTENING TORQUE
All joints of the canopy’s parts must be made with the supplied screws and nuts. Any change of screws
and nuts must be communicated and authorised by the manufacturer.
The tightening torques of the joints must be checked according to the following specifications:
M8
= between 16 and 19 Nm
M10
= between 33 and 39
M20
= between 182 and 274 Nm
M24
= between 264 and 324 Nm
11�1�4�- FOUNDATIONS, ALIGNMENT AND LEVELLING OF THE CANOPIES
The foundations must be made with the material supplied by the manufacturer and according to the
specifications described in this manual.
The legs must be aligned and level.
In the event that these requirements cannot be met due to the type of installation, please notify the
manufacturer to study the situation and behaviour of the canopy.
Any installation made on sloping terrain should be specifically studied to ensure the proper functioning
of the canopy.
11�1�5�- LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INSTALLATION ZONE
The canopies have been studied to be installed free of any building or nearby walls. If an adjacent wall
is installed, a special study will be required to vary the coefficient of obstruction contemplated in the
calculation.
