9 Assembly & Fitting 1. Preparing the support profiles a.Bolt the bottommost L-shaped profile down to the support profiles with M8x80 mm hex head bolts (G ) (ensure the bolts will thread all the way through the support profiles), the corresponding washers (G ) and lock nuts (G ). b.Tighten the other L-shaped profiles down using M8x25 mm T-head bolts (G ) and the corresponding washers and lock nuts. DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear

10 Assembly & Fitting 2. Securing the support profiles to the wall a. Secure the support profiles to the wall using wall anchors. DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear

11 Assembly & Fitting 3. Fitting the UniFit series blade holders to the support profiles a.First, loosely secure the 2 washer-plates (G ) to the UniFit series blade holders with 2 M8x20 mm bolts (G ) and 4 washers (G ). b.Next, slide the bottommost UniFit blade holder (a 45° holder, for example) in the support profiles, ensure that it is properly positioned and tighten the M8x20 mm hex head bolts (G ). DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear

12 Assembly & Fitting 3. Fitting the UniFit series blade holders to the support profiles c.Next, starting from the top, fit the pre-assembled UniFit series blade holders to the support profiles using washer plates and repeat the previous step for each UniFit series blade holder to be fitted at the centres specified. DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear

13 Assembly & Fitting 4. Securing tube sections to the wall a) The tube sections may be replaced with aluminium sections with a MINIMUM wall thickness of 3mm. In this case, the Unifit series blade holders are to be fixed with M6.3x32 mm self drill screws (G ) and M5 washers. The tube sections can be fixed to an asymmetric L-shaped profile with M8x80 mm hex head bolts (G ) (ensure the bolts go all the way through the support profiles when maximum width is 50 mm), and washers G ) and M8 nuts (G ). DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear

14 5. Securing the UniFit series blade holders to the tube sections UniFit series blade holders can be fixed with 6.3x32 mm self-drilling screws (G ) and M6 washers. Start fitting the lowest UniFit series blade holder ; use a gauge to match the centre-to-centre distance between 2 forks. DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear Assembly & Fitting

15 Assembly & Fitting 6. Preparing the blades Take the cut to size blades (Linear 200 series blades, for example), fit an end plate at either end and secure them in place with M6x30 mm csk self tapping screws to DIN 7500 M-Z (G ) DUCOSUN UNIFIT Cubic & Linear

16 Assembly & Fitting 7. Blade fitting Cubic 100 blades are each fixed in position with 2 screws Ø4,8x16 (G ) Cubic 200 and Linear 200 series blades are each fixed in position with 2 M4.8x25 mm self-drilling screws (G ). Cubic 300 and Linear 300 series blades are secured in position with M5x55 mm countersunk bolts – which pass all the way through the profiles – and with M5 lock nuts.
