of the spring-loaded lock. The direction of the attachment, such as the V-attachment or angle attachment, must
be taken into consideration.
1.5.2 Angle Pieces
Angle pieces are required for connecting the base plates with the ART struts. Because of the dierent versions
available, the ART strut can be inserted into the relevant foot plate structurally on one side as well as on both
sides in an angled position.
When using the ART struts in the angled position it is imperative that a safety
device is used to prevent catapulting outwards! This can be in the form of square
timber and corresponding ground or, depending on the foundation, with screws
or bolts on the base plate.
