7. Dismantling of scaffold
To dismantle the scaffold, complete the steps for erection in reverse order.
8. Inspection, maintenance and care
Prior to erecting the scaffold, check all parts for damage. Replace defective or damaged
parts. Use only original spare parts.
Carry out a visual inspection, checking in particular for cracks in welds and other parts
of the material. Use only scaffold parts that are not bent or otherwise deformed. Always
ensure that component parts such as clamps, spindles, castors, etc. are in proper
working condition.
Prior to erecting the scaffold, inspect the following parts:
– Base frame, folding frame, vertical frame, stabiliser: inspect for deformation
and cracks
– Diagonal braces and rail braces: inspect for deformation, cracks and proper
operation of the securing mechanism
– Platforms: inspect for deformation, cracks and proper operation of the
securing mechanism
– State of the timber Hatch operation
– Board planks
– State of timber, cracks
– Castors: inspect for proper rotation; test brake function
– Height-adjustable castors: check spindle for ease of movement
– Securing devices (gravity pin, wing screw) at vertical frame and stabiliser: inspect
for damage and proper operation
– Anti-lifting safety devices: inspect for deformation, cracks and proper installation
– Prevent damage by refraining from throwing the parts
– The scaffold parts must be stored in such a way that they cannot be damaged
– The individual parts must be stored in such a way that they are protected against
the elements
– For transport, place and secure the parts in such a way that they cannot be
damaged by becoming dislodged, etc.
– The scaffold parts can be cleaned with a conventional detergent. To remove
paint, use turpentine
CAUTION
Ensure that detergents and solvents do not pollute the ground. Dispose of them
according to the applicable environmental protection regulations.
