1. General
This application manual describes the correct assembly and dismantlement as well
as the usage of mobile aluminium scaffolds. It contains important safety instruc-
tions. Carefully read all instructions in this document and familiarise yourself with
the relevant safety regulations.
Mobile Aluminium Scaffold is a modular system for which a range of optional
accessories is available. All available modules, including optional modules, are de-
scribed in this manual. Some of these modules might not be part of your system.
For certain uses, the system must be equipped with additional parts (e.g. ballast
weights) to ensure safety.
In order to enable you to decide whether you require such auxiliary parts, please
read all chapters of the manual.
The Scaffold-system can be equipped with an optional castor kit and thus up-
graded to a mobile working scaffold. Observe the special safety instructions that
apply to this option.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly, use or dismantling of the wor-
king scaffold, please contact your supplier.
Subject to technical changes on the mobile working scaffold.
We will not assume liability for printers error of these Instructions for Assembly and
