ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! Before assembling the second stage, the lower stage must be fully assembled even if it is not
being used. The lower stage provides needed structural support for the upper stage. The caster wheels must be
locked to ensure that the lower stage will not move.
Observe all safety rules for boarding, working on, and getting off the first stage when assembling. Assemble the up-
per stage one piece at a time to help prevent clutter and falling parts. Assemble each major component completely
before moving on to the next one. At least three workers are required to assemble the second stage safely.

ATTACHING A SECOND SCAFFOLD
1. Attach one second stage end frame by inserting the bottom of its
legs over the tops of the first stage’s end frames. Secure into place
with locking pins and L-shaped pins. Repeat the procedure for the
other end frame.
2. Attach the side rails one at a time to each side of the second
stage end rails at the desired height. Use the height adjustment
pins, locking pins and L-shaped pins to adjust the wooden platform
to the desired height.
3. Secure the scaffold to a stable structure using ties and/or braces.
They must be secured at the end of the third horizontal beam on the
second scaffolding (the same as the eighth beam from the ground)
as noted in Fig. 6. The components and the attachment methods
used at this point must be rated to at least four times the capac-
ity of the scaffolding. If you have any doubts about your ability to
properly do this, employ the help of a qualified technician instead.
4. Lay the wooden platform onto the side rails, making sure the oval
holes fit over the flange pins without having to be forced.
5. Use the two platform hold-downs along with four screws, nuts
and washers (not included) to secure the wood platform into place.
WARNING! Do not go any higher than two scaffolds.
