4. Maintenance Features

This document provides comprehensive maintenance and adjustment instructions for MACO MULTI turn-only and turn&tilt hardware, specifically for turn-only, turn&tilt, tilt-first, and tilt windows. It is intended for certified specialists and their trained employees, emphasizing safety and proper procedures to ensure the longevity and correct functioning of the hardware.

Function Description:

The MACO MULTI hardware system facilitates the operation of various window types, including turn-only, turn&tilt, tilt-first, and tilt windows. These systems allow for different opening mechanisms, such as full inward opening (turn-only), partial inward opening for ventilation (tilt), or a combination of both (turn&tilt, tilt-first). The hardware includes components like scissor stays, hinges, pivot posts, closing elements, bullet catches, and sash lifters, all designed to work in conjunction to provide secure and smooth window operation. The document details how to adjust these components to ensure optimal performance, gasket compression, and sash alignment.

Important Technical Specifications:

The document specifies adjustment ranges for various components, indicating the permissible movement in millimeters. For instance:

• Scissor stay or turn-only hinge (lift/lower):
  • MULTI-MATIC / MULTI-TREND corner hinge: +2.85 / -1.8 mm. The adjusting screw must not protrude more than 1 mm.
  • MULTI-MATIC / MULTI-TREND stay and hinge: -3 / +5 mm. The sash may only be lowered to the third notch and/or to the red mark to prevent it from falling out.
  • MULTI MAMMUT: -4.1 / +1.7 mm. Side adjustment for versions up to 2 requires a feeler gauge (item no. 468684) to ensure the minimum adjustment is not underrun.
  • MULTI POWER: -2.5 / +1 mm.
• Gasket compression:
  • MULTI-MATIC scissor stay: -1 / +1 mm.
  • MULTI-MATIC turn-only hinge – sash part: -1.5 / +1.5 mm.
  • MULTI POWER scissor stay: -0.7 / +0.7 mm.
  • MULTI POWER turn-only hinge – sash part: -1 / +1 mm.
• Pivot post setting:
  • PVC / DT / TO / AS pivot post: -2.3 / +2.3 mm (side), -2 / +3 mm (lift/lower), -1 / +1 mm (gasket compression).
  • PVC / AS rebated corner support: -2 / +2 mm (side), -1 / +1 mm (gasket compression).
  • Drill-in pivot post: -2 / +2 mm (side), -2 / +2 mm (lift/lower), -0.75 / +0.75 mm (gasket compression).
  • MULTI MAMMUT pivot post: -3 / +3 mm (side), -2 / +3 mm (lift/lower).
  • MULTI POWER pivot post: -1 / +2 mm (side), -1 / +2 mm (lift/lower), -0.5 / +0.5 mm (gasket compression).
• Tilt-only sash setting:
  • Side adjustment: -2.5 / +2.5 mm.
  • Lift/lower: -2 / +2 mm.
  • Gasket compression: -1 / +1 mm.
• Setting closing elements, bullet catch, and sash lifter:
  • Gasket compression on cam (i.S. Security roller cam): -0.55 / +0.55 mm.
  • Gasket compression on cam (Locking cam): -0.75 / +0.75 mm.
  • Sash lifter: -3 / +3 mm.
  • Door catch and/or bullet catch roll (MULTI-MATIC): -2 / +2 mm.
  • Door catch and/or bullet catch roll (MULTI-TREND): -0.5 / +0.5 mm.

These precise measurements are crucial for maintaining the window's functionality, including driving rain tightness, air flow, and operating force.

Usage Features:

The MACO MULTI hardware is designed for ease of use and durability. The various adjustment options allow for fine-tuning of the window sash to ensure it closes properly, seals effectively, and operates smoothly. The system supports different opening types, providing flexibility for various architectural and user needs. The hardware's robust construction aims for long-term reliability in window applications.

Maintenance Features:

The document outlines critical maintenance procedures to preserve the hardware's surface finish and prevent corrosion:

• Protection against soiling: Keep hardware free of debris, plaster, mortar, dust, dirt, and paint. Clean immediately with water if soiled during construction.
• Protection against corrosion: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent direct moisture or condensation. Avoid aggressive vapors. Timber frames with high tannic acid concentration must be treated. Do not use acetic acid or cross-linked acidic sealing compounds. Avoid damaging hardware with sharp tools. Clean fittings with a moist cloth, avoiding permanent wetness.
• Protection against corrosive/acidic cleaning agents: Use only soft, lint-free cloths and mild, pH-neutral cleaning agents in diluted form. Never use aggressive, acidic, solvent-based, or abrasive cleaners (scouring pads, steel wool, etc.), as these can damage the hardware and impair function/safety. Damaged points must be repaired immediately. Re-treating cropped edges of TRICOAT-PLUS fittings with TRICOAT-PLUS touch-up paint is recommended.
• Hinging and unhinging the sash: Detailed steps are provided for MULTI-MATIC / MULTI-TREND scissor stay hinges (PVC / DT / AS and stay and hinge versions) and MULTI MAMMUT scissor stay hinges. For MULTI POWER, a video tutorial is also referenced. These procedures involve removing covers, pulling hinge pins, opening the sash to specific angles (e.g., 90°), and carefully disengaging/engaging the sash from the pivot post and support arm.
• Exchange of window rebate seals: Emphasizes the importance of using suitable seals to maintain functionality, performance, and operation (driving rain tightness, air flow, operating force). Talcum powder or potato starch can be used to facilitate installation by increasing sliding properties.
• General warnings:
  • Maintenance instructions are only for certified specialists and trained employees.
  • End-user operation and maintenance instructions (757071EN) must also be observed.
  • Improper maintenance can lead to serious personal injury or material damage.
  • Ensure sufficient room for work, a clean and tidy assembly site, and use intact tools.
  • Work near pivot posts, scissor stays, part replacement, and sash hinging/unhinging must be done by trained personnel.
  • Assess sash weight correctly; large/heavy sashes should be handled by multiple people to prevent back problems.
  • Damaged or defective hardware components must be secured to prevent use and replaced immediately.
  • When replacing components, observe assembly instructions/package leaflets.
  • After replacement, the plastic drive track retaining clip must be "snapped" on first operation, and the sash function checked.
  • Warranty claims are only accepted if all maintenance operations are carried out according to intervals (specified in end-user instructions) and if the unit was installed correctly by a certified specialist.
  • Disposal of hardware and hinge components must comply with local regulations.

The document (Order no. 757070EN, created 05/2015, changed 09.03.2020) is regularly revised, with the latest version available on www.maco.eu.
