For safety reasons it is strongly advised to mount the outriggers with the
supporting points a few centimeters above the ground, once the scaffold on its new
location, put on the brakes and put the supporting points on the ground again
14. Anchoring
Anchors are to be used when
outriggers or stabilizers cannot be positioned correctly;
the scaffold has a platform height of more than 8 m in case of outdoor use;
extreme weather conditions with strong wind.
The anchors have to be solid and must be attached to both frame-posts by couplers
suitable for the 51mm tubes and preferably with butterfly nuts.
Anchor only to a resistant and durable spot onto a construction or building.
Attach at least every 4 m height at least 2 anchors (one per 8-rung frame)
15. Dismantling
Dismantling should be done in reversed order and the Mobile Guard has to be used
too. Start on top and work downwards to the base. Do not throw with parts.
16. Maintenance
All parts, particularly the pivoting parts and weldings, must be inspected on a regular
basis and at least once per year.
Missing and defective parts should be replaced.
Scaffolding parts are not allowed to be used in the following cases:
When round tubes have one or more dull dents with a depth of more than 3 mm;
When round tubes have one or more dents directly next to a welding junction
regardless of depth or shape of the dent;
When square or rectangular tubes have one or more full dents with a depth of mora
than 2 mm;
When round or square tubes have one or more sharp dents or cracks regardless of
length, depth or location of these dents or cracks.
Pivoting parts and castor wheels for example must be clean and run smoothly.
Repairs are only possible in consultation with the manufacturer.
