of accessible
platform area). The maximum permissible load is thus 180 kg with uniformly distri-
buted load. All work must be carried out by standing on the platform. The scaffold
may only be climbed on the inside.
The maximum extended height is 5 m in closed rooms and outdoors.
The scaffold may only be installed on level ground with the necessary load
strength. Using a spirit level, check the scaffold for proper vertical and
horizontal alignment. The maximum permissible angle of inclination is 1%.
Scaffolds that are not equipped with a height adjustment mechanism must
be aligned by means of unbreakable and non-slip chocks.
Before using the scaffold, ensure that all necessary safety measures have
been taken and that the scaffold has been properly erected according to the
instructions in the installation and user manual. If necessary, protect the
scaffold from tilting by using ballasts or outriggers.
