General notes and safety advices
These instructions are intended for the specialist window company. They describe essential adjustment and maintenance work for the activPilot fittings. Please observe the following notices: Fitting parts are to be tested regularly to ensure they are seated firmly and checked for wear. Fastening screws are to be retightened and parts replaced as necessary. Their functionality is to be retested afterwards. Fittings may only be cleaned with mild, ph-neutral cleaning agents in diluted form. Use only cleaning agents which do not degrade the corrosion protection on fitting parts. Never use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners, scouring agents or sharp objects to clean fitting parts. Always also observe the guideline for product specifications/notices and liability (VHBH) when making adjustments or performing maintenance. This information can be obtained at the following Internet address: http://www.beschlagindustrie.de/ggsb/richtlinien.asp

Adjustment options
Corner hinge/sash hinge
- with contact pressure adjustment
- without contact pressure adjustment
Sash hinge height adjustment (±3 mm) and corner hinge side adjustment (±2 mm). For sash hinge adjustment of the contact pressure between sash and frame (+/– 1.2 mm) using a 2.5 mm Allen key.
Octagonal bolt
Regulate the contact pressure between the sash and the frame (± 0.8 mm) by turning the octagonal bolt. The adjustment can be carried out by means of the Winkhaus adjustment key (V.ST.SCH.HV-11) .
Shear retraction
The progressive shear pull-in is adjustable from 18 to 28 mm. Release the catch by pulling up on the adjustment latch then pivot the adjustment latch away from the overlap. A variable tilt device, MSL.OS, can be used as an alternative to the progressive shear pull-in.

Shear – studio window
Lifting and lowering the sash and adjustment of contact pressure by means of a 4 mm Allen key
Shear – round-arch window
Lifting and lowering the sash by means of a 4 mm Allen key
Rebate shear hinge
Height adjustment (±3 mm) by means of 4 mm hexagonal key. In case of rebate sash hinges with pressure adjustment there is the option of additional adjustment by means of a 4 mm hexagonal key.
Fail safe device FSF
After installation the tip of the pressure piece must be directed towards the frame! For airgaps smaller or larger than 12 mm an adjustment is possible by turning the plastic part to the left or to the right!
Adjustment and maintenance
Dual/triple function element
DFE/TFE activation

key. Dribble a few drops of oil (free of resin and acid) onto lubrication
points.
Frame part DFE/TFE
Height adjustment (+/– 3 mm) for sash support plate. Each time fittings are
adjusted, the DFE/TFE height setting should also be checked using a 2.5 mm
Allen key.
Maintenance
Lubrication points
See figure: Overview of lubrication points The figure shows the location of possible lubrication points which should be lubricated at least once a year. Positions A, C, D = lubrication points relevant to function
