Please ensure that you have read through the Flyway Safety before starting the installation.

Flyways should be installed on a machined mounting table with the threaded mounting holes on each of the Flyway’s four feet. For precision locating of the Flyway to the mounting table, dowel hole/slot alignment features are provided on two opposite feet of the Flyway. See Mounting Plate Guide for detailed requirements of a Flyway mounting plate.

For mounting auxiliary equipment directly to the Flyways:

  • 3-Series have two M5 threaded holes on each side.

  • 4-Series have two M6 threaded holes on each side.

When mounting the Flyway or installing auxiliary equipment to the Flyways take care to not exceed the maximum torque values provided in the Hardware Manual (S3 Flyways/S4 Flyways).

Danger due to improper assembly:

  • Assembly is only permitted to be carried out by qualified personnel.

  • For assembly, only hoisting devices and load-handling equipment that comply with legal regulations are permitted to be used.

  • Hoisting devices, load-handling equipment and means of transport must have sufficient load-bearing capacity and safety.

  • There is a risk of being crushed when lifting loads.

  • Do not step under suspended loads. Staying under a suspended load can result in death.

  • Use mechanical lifting equipment (e.g. crane, forklift) to lift loads over 25 kg.

  • Secure loads to the designated attachment points.

  • Do not place the load-handling equipment on sharp edges and corners, and do not knot or twist it.

  • Observe local fire protection regulations. When cutting materials, do not work with welding equipment or devices that produce sparks.

  • There is a fire hazard due to plastic parts.

  • If necessary, fasteners such as dowels and screw anchors must be removed.

  • There is a tripping hazard!
