SCAFFOLDING USE & CARE (CONT.)
5. Acids and other corrosive substances may severely
affect the integrity of the scaffolding. Use extreme care
around such materials and follow applicable instruc-
tions. Do not use acids or other corrosive substances on
scaffolding parts, as they could corrode the metal and
decrease its strength.
6. Immediately remove scaffolding from use and discard
if exposed to excessive heat (such as fire), which could
cause a loss of structural integrity.
7. Do not permit oil, grease, or other slippery material to
accumulate on climbing or gripping surfaces.
8. Do not use the product if the platform surface is dam-
aged or has deteriorated. Only use the included platform
or an identical replacement platform. The platform must
not extend beyond the base support.
9. The maximum working load is 1000 pounds evenly
distributed for one stage and 750 pounds combined for
two stages. The total combined weight of workers and
materials must not exceed the rated working load. Al-
ways keep weight evenly distributed.
10. Be aware of dynamic loading: jumping on or sud-
denly dropping weight onto the scaffolding may briefly
create an excess load, causing the product to fail.
11. Do not ride on or transport items on scaffolding.
12. Do not allow unstable objects or slippery materials
to accumulate on the scaffolding.
13. Do not use for cantilever applications. Use with sup-
ports directly underneath the scaffolding.
14. Maintain labels and nameplates on the scaffolding.
These carry important safety information. If unreadable
or missing, contact WEN customer service for a replace-
ment.
15. Position the scaffolding on a hard, level surface.
Make sure the working/standing surface is completely
level and that the wheels are locked before getting on
the scaffolding.
16. Do not climb onto scaffold from a ladder unless both
the scaffolding and the ladder are secured from move-
ment in all directions. Do not use a ladder above the plat-
form to reach greater heights.
17. Use guard rails, mid rails and toe boards (not includ-
ed) as required by local, state and federal regulations.
Using such safety devices is always recommended.
18. Scaffolds that are covered in ice or snow cannot be
used until they are cleaned off thoroughly. Scaffolds
must not be used during storms or in windy weather.
19. Store idle scaffolding out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the scaffold to
climb on it or use it for any purpose. This item can be
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Have the scaffolding regularly serviced by a qualified
person. Use only identical replacement parts and acces-
sories. This will ensure a longer lifespan for the product
and will also maximize safety.
