1 STRING LINES To ease installation of this frame it has been fitted with string lines. If the frame is not fitted straight plumb and level the doors will not function correctly. To ensure the top and bottom of the frame are straight follow these steps 1. Make sure the string is tight 2. Fit a spacer block (3 supplied in box) to each end of the line 3. Use the third spacer block to check the gap between the frame and the string. (The block should fit in the gap without moving the string and without leaving a gap). Pack the frame as required. Check at approx 500mm centres. 4. Make sure the frame is level and the sides are plumb and straight. (You could fit the string line to the sides of the frame to check they are straight). 5. Fix frame into opening. Remove string line and blocks. Fit sash as instructed in following pages. 1 of 8

2 SPECIALIST FRAME BI-FOLD FITTING INSTRUCTIONS General All doors sets have been assembled and tested before despatch. To ensure they function correctly please follow these instructions and complete the checklist on page 3. As well as the standard installation equipment you will require: 5mm Allen Key (a ball end bit in a screw gun will speed up fitting of hinge pins) IN BOX 4mm Allen Key 17mm Open Ended Spanner 13mm Open Ended Spanner Long Fixings (150mm Minimum) String line or laser level Installing Outer Frame Check the frame will fit in the opening without distortion. Fix the cill to frame On large frames lift from bottom of the frame Position frame in opening. Pack bottom of frame level and straight. Check with string line or laser level to achieve this (tolerance allowed is +/-2mm). Check the head has enough room to be fixed straight and level. Fix bottom of frame Fix sides of frame plumb +/-2mm Fix head of frame level and straight +/-2mm. Fitting Sash to frame Clear any debris from inside of track Sash are numbered from outside left to right. Sash widths may vary so be careful to fit the correct glass in each sash Fit end sash to frame, fit pins (as drawing on page 4). Fit glass to this sash and toe and heel square +/-2mm. Check sash is plumb, adjust hinges if necessary. Fit next sash as above, and so on, use adjustment on folding hinges (page 7) to plumb sash On OPEN OUT doors fit pull handles on folding hinges near to flat handles (see page 7) When fitting sash with bogies refer to drawing on page 6. To ensure the bottom hinge does not scratch the track before the bogie is fitted position glass packer between the two. When adjusting the hinges between the first sash and outer frame, keep the sash as parallel as possible to the outer frame. Excessive discrepancies in the sash overlap from top to bottom will affect the folding of the sash. When all sash are fitted and adjusted and the doors are functioning correctly, drill out the blanked out holes on the folding hinges and fit remaining screws. If doors OPEN OUT fit bearings to screws. Fit hinge covers. Operation To open the folding doors from the closed position, unlock the sash furthest away from the wall and fold back fully. Then release the next (furthest away from the wall) sash fold it fully and so on. To close folding sash, close 1 st sash (the one against the wall) into frame and lock that sash. Then close and lock the next (nearest to the wall) sash and lock and so on. Page 2 of 8

8 IMPORTANT NOTES Please observe our Product information Sliding fittings for windows and doors The size ranges specified on Page 1 apply to the SIEGENIA-AUBI FS-PORTAL KF hardware. In addition to this, the details given by the profile manufacturer and/or the system owner apply, particularly for possible restrictions on sash dimensions, maximum number of sashes per element, sash weight and locking spacing. If specific manufacturing regulations or processing guidelines exist, these must be expressly complied with. Details given for screw turns and torques are binding. It is possible that load bearing components can break due to overloading. This could result in a folding sash becoming disengaged and causing serious injury. If due to special circumstances (use in schools, nurseries, etc.) excessive loads can be expected, then precautions must be taken to prevent straining of parts Eg. by fitting a locking handle to prevent unauthorised useage. Consult your SIEGENIA-AUBI sales advisor if you are unsure about anything in this respect.
