SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General

Always fully read this manual before installing or using the veranda or carport (hereinafter referred to as the “Product”). You must follow the instructions in this manual at all times. Failure to follow instructions correctly may result in property damage or personal injury. In addition, failure to follow instructions will result in voiding the warranty.
Please carefully keep this manual so that you or another user can refer to it at any time. If the Product is sold or passed on to third parties, please pass on the safety instructions as well.
If you have any questions that are not answered in this assembly manual, please contact your sales representative. Do you not have sufficient experience to install or assemble the Product? Then engage a professional.
Illustrations in these transport and assembly instructions are for a general basic understanding and may deviate from the actual version of the Product.
This manual is copyrighted and intended for use only with the Product.
Keep the unassembled parts of the Products out of the reach of children at all times.

Intended use

The Product is intended to be installed at ground level against a flat wall capable of supporting at least 200 kg per linear metre. The fasteners provided are intended for solid brick, concrete and/or sand-lime brick. Gumax® verandas can be loaded with 80 kg/m2. Gumax® verandas can withstand a wind force of 32 m/s. In
combination with glass sliding doors, the maximum permissible wind force is lower. It is your own responsibility to assess whether your desired location falls within these standards. If necessary or desired, engage an expert for advice.
The ground load capacity under the foundation of the Gumax veranda should be able to support at least 750 kg per support structure. When considering load capacity and foundation, also take into account any accessories you might want to be able to add later, such as glass sliding doors.
When used in other applications, this falls under the user’s own responsibility and risk. In this case, Gumax cannot guarantee that the Product is suitable for its intended use and is therefore not liable for damages.
This Product is specifically designed and developed for domestic use only under normal usage conditions. This Product is designed for the Gumax product line, which means that only Gumax products can be used in combination with this Product.
Due to the expansion of the materials, the Product must not be placed tightly between two walls: a total clearance of 1.5 mm for each meter the veranda is wide.
The support structures of the structure should be vertically levelled.
The wall bracket and gutter should be mounted horizontally level.
The veranda should be mounted at 8 degrees.
The veranda is not intended for walking, standing or sitting on, or otherwise moving about on the roof.

Transport

During transport, secure the Product in such a way that it cannot be damaged.
Transport and store the Product in its original packaging in a safe and dry place at all times.
When moving glass panels, use glass lifters with a minimum carrying capacity of 75 kg per glass lifter to easily handle the glass.
To prevent damage to the glass panels, it is recommended to store, transport and handle them vertically only and not place them on a hard or uneven surface.
Means of transport must be suitable for the weight of the transport units and must be approved for transport.

Inspection
Check the contents in advance for quantities and damage and lay out the parts clearly.
Before assembling a part, verify that it is free of defects. If you notice a (possible) defect, take pictures of it and contact your supplier.
Immediately cease use or installation if a possible defect is detected. If you nevertheless install and/or use the Product, Gumax is not liable for any consequences.

Installation

Make sure there is a safe environment during installation. Make sure all measures are taken to work safely before starting installation and make sure no persons not involved in the installation are around.

Assembling the Product requires at least 2 adults. This way you can easily screw in parts while someone else holds them in the right position. Always use the prescribed bolt and screw connections.
It is recommended to remove any obstacles from the work area before starting the installation of the Gumax veranda.
Work safely. Always follow the safety instructions of the tools you use.
Do not touch the Product with sharp tools.
Always consult the operating instructions of any supplied products and act in accordance with these instructions.
Use only the supplied parts. Use of other items may damage the Product or lead to dangerous situations.
Place glass roof panels with the Gumax logo facing downwards.
A support structure below a gutter connection point should be sealed at the top when installed and left open at the bottom to allow water
to drain. Even if the support structure is cast in concrete, the water should be allowed to run off. Check regularly that there is no water in the support structure. This can lead to damage to the support structures if they freeze. Gumax is not liable for these damages.
Place the polycarbonate roof panels with the UV-resistant side facing up to prevent discolouration.
Condensation can form under the roof panels of the Gumax® veranda. To prevent moisture damage, it is recommended to only place furniture and terrace decking under your veranda that can withstand condensation water.

Use

Keep small parts out of the reach of children. This Product is not designed or intended as a toy for children.
Avoid exposure of the Product to open flames.
Remove all packaging material from the Product before taking it into use. Remove transport film from polycarbonate panels only after completion of assembly to avoid damaging the panels. Follow the instructions in the manual for this.
In the event of extreme (weather) conditions (including strong winds, heavy snowfall, large hailstones, earthquakes), extra caution and precautions must be taken. Take protective measures in advance and ensure that the Product is not used by yourself or others during the extreme (weather) conditions. If you notice a
(possible) defect, observe safety measures. Make sure that nobody stands under or near the defective Product and call in an expert.
If it is likely that safe use is no longer possible, decommission the Product and safeguard it against unintended use. Assume that safe use is no longer possible if:
the Product has any visible damage or abnormalities
the Product does not function or no longer functions properly
the Product has been stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time
the Product has been subjected to heavy transport loads

The conditions in which the Product is placed may cause noises such as tapping or cracking (e.g. due to temperature differences, surface, contact with other materials). This is not covered by the warranty as this is not a defect in the Product.
