UF0600 Series - To open the safe insert one of the keys supplied and
turn. Lift the handle and the lid can be taken out of its housing.
UF0900 Series - To open the safe insert one of the keys supplied and
turn. Lift the handle and spin the lid until it aligns and comes out of its
housing.
LOCATION
The installation should be undertaken by a qualied installer whose survey
would determine a convenient ground oor site free from any electrical
wiring, water or gas pipes, etc., and where the use of attacking tools would
be restricted.
INSURANCE
If the safe is for insurance requirements your insurance company should
be made aware of your intention prior to installation.
WHEN THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE NO PORTION OF THE
NECK OR DEPOSIT TUBE MUST PROTRUDE ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL.
SAFE PREPARATION
1. Remove door from safe to a place away from site to avoid any form of
contamination.
2. To prevent dust or concrete from entering during installation ll the
inside of the safe and neck with crumpled newspaper.
3. Apply sealant around neck-to-collar joint.
Replace lid
REINFORCEMENT
Steel reinforcement can be used. A suitable type is Weldmesh Ref. No.26:
2” x 2” (50 mm x 50mm) x 6 S.W.G.
SITE PREPARATION
1. Remove any oor covering and expose concrete oor.
2. Mark an area on the oor to allow not less than 6” (150mm) of
concrete round the sides of the safe.
3. Cut through the concrete and excavate to a depth of 3” (75mm) more
than the total depth of the safe.
4. Angle the sides of the hole outwards by 2” in order that the concrete is
dovetailed into the oor.
5. For installation in a wooden oor it will be necessary to conne the
concrete to the dimensions given with the use of shuttering.
CONCRETE PREPARATION AND DAMP-PROOFING
Use only good quality sand, aggregate and cement.
Recommended Specication:
PARTS BY WEIGHT
Coarse Graded Aggregate ¾” MAX 3
Fine Graded Aggregate 3/16” MAX 1 ½
Ordinary Portland Cement 1
Water Not to exceed 24.4 litres for every
50 kgs of Cement
All materials to conform to the appropriate Bristish Standard Specication.
A suitable dry mix preparation is Marley Mix 3-1 ½ - 1 B.S 5838 Part 1
DO NOT CONCRETE UNLESS THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS AT
LEAST 3ºc MIN.
Materials must be frost free and in cold conditions use water heated to
10ºC. Accelerating or other admixtures containing calcium chloride must
not be used as these are highly corrosive. The addition of a waterproof-
ing agent, however, may be necessary. Where site excavation reveals
extreme damp presence, the hole should be lined with a heavy gauge
polythene sheeting.
Thoroughly dry mix all materials and then add a minimum of water to allow
the concrete to be compacted. Do not add too much water as this will
reduce the strength of the construction. The amount of water shown in the
column above produces a 2” (50 mm) slump which should not be
exceeded.
SAFE INSTALLATION
1. Cover the base of the hole with 4” (100 mm) of the concrete mix.
2. Lift safe by top plate, place in centre of hole and work down into the
concrete bed until the lid is at the correct level with surrounding oor.
3. Use a spirit level to span the hole to check the safe is level.
4. The concrete is added in layers of 4” (100mm): each layer worked
well into the previous layer with a tamping tool. A section of timber,
or similar, about 39” (1m) long, with a ramming face approximately
1” (25mm) square is ideal for the purpose. Work methodically over
entire surface and ensure full compaction of concrete. Take care not to
disturb the safe or dislodge the neck through-out installation.
5. The steel reinforcement is introduced into the concrete at the appropri-
ate stage.
6. When the hole is lled with the concrete mix to within ½ “ (12mm) of
the surface, take the safe door from bag and after removing lid, insert
door into safe to ensure that misalignment has not occurred. ANY
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT WOULD NEED TO BE MADE NOW
BEFORE CONCRETE IS SET.
7. Screed last ½“ (12mm) with a mixture of sand and cement to bring to
a smooth nish.
THE SAFE MUST NOT BE USED FOR 14 DAYS AFTER
INSTALLATION.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The subsequent application of a lino paint by the owner/user will act as a
surface stabiliser and help to control grit. Ensure that any oor washing
activity etc. does not result in water entering the safe. Keep safe door
and locating collar dry, clean and lightly oiled. Dirt and grit etc. can be
damaging to the locking mechanism. To ensure that the safe remains in
good working order always close the escutcheon and see that the lid is
replaced properly after use. The use of silica gel is recommended where
condensation is a problem or where the safe remains locked for any
extended period of time.
