The purchase of a Safewaze Belmont Safety Hatch System includes a rivet adapter and four rivets. The rivet adapter is used in conjunction with a drill (not provided) during the installation process. Refer to the manual provided with the product, or available online, for detailed installation information.

The user must utilize a drill with a minimum torque strength of 15 Nm when using the provided rivet adapter. The user shall follow the Safewaze product manual and the following instructions to properly use the rivet adapter:

  1. Attach the rivet adapter to a drill by inserting the shank of the rivet adapter into the drill’s chuck Tighten securely.
  2. Hold on to the rivet adapter and place the drill in its reverse gear. Slowly start the drill until a “clicking” sound is heard. The rivet adapter is now ready for use.
  3. Insert a rivet mandrel into the rivet adapter’s nose piece.
  4. Hold on to the rivet adapter and place the drill in its forward gear.
  5. Insert the rivet head into one of the aligned pre-drilled holes of the Lifting Tube and Drive Unit (see manual).
  6. Slowly pull the trigger of the drill. The rivet adapter will pull the rivet head through the rivet mandrel, clamping the Lifting Tube and Drive Unit together.
  7. Put the drill into its reverse gear until the remaining portion of the rivet mandrel is ejected from the rivet adapter.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 for the additional three rivets.
