The cover strip’s pushing area has been widened.
Damage to the cover strip!
Pushing the cover strip on to the rail or moving it under the block can result in the cover strip snapping off due to exces-
sively high levels of pressure being exerted on it.
X Push the cover strip carefully on to the rail.
X If the cover strip is difficult to push on, repeat the work steps described in B.
ATTENTION!
5.3.2.3 Mounting the cover strip with a mounted block
The minimum length of the pushing area must be 150 mm longer than the block length L
GW
.
If a cover strip needs to be retrofitted or a damaged one needs to be replaced while one or more blocks are mounted on the
rail, it is necessary to create a pushing area on the cover strip. An expanding mandrel is required for this purpose.

Fig. 5.31 Widening the pushing area using the expanding mandrel
We recommend using an expanding mandrel to widen the cover strip. For information on this see Section 11.2.
X Place the expanding mandrel on the inner end of the pushing area so that the flat sides are aligned parallel with the
cover strip.
X Turn the mandrel 90°.
X Pull the mandrel with one hand to the beginning of the cover strip, keeping hold of it with your other hand as you do so.
