Step 4: Deploying the Platform Stabilisers
15
• For a 2.00 metre platform height use the red
coloured bracket with the stabiliser extended to
show red in the viewing window.
• For 1.75 metre platform height use the yellow
coloured bracket with the stabiliser extended to
show yellow in the viewing window.
• For a 1.50 metre platform height use the blue
coloured bracket with the stabiliser extended to
show blue in the viewing window.
When the Tower has been erected to the required
height, and the platform fitted, extend a platform
stabiliser until the required colour is seen in the
viewing window on the side of the stabiliser. This
should be the same as the colour of the bracket
it is to connect to. At this time you will hear a click
that indicates the stabiliser is locked at the required
length.
Figure 4.4 and Figure 4.5 shows an example of
a platform stabiliser deployed when the platform
height is 1.75 metres.
The correct bracket is always two rungs below the
platform. Firmly push the
stabiliser end onto the bracket. Check that it has
locked. Repeat for the other three stabilisers.
Releasing the Stabalisers
To release a platform stabiliser, press the yellow
lever on the end of the stabiliser and lift the end off
the bracket. The locking ball bearing will be pro-
truding since the stabiliser will be extended and locked. Depress the protruding ball
bearing on the underside of the stabiliser and retract the stabiliser when preparing
to stow it. This action may need to be repeated according to how far the stabiliser
was extended. Return the stabiliser to its stowed position and pull the yellow lever
towards the stowage bracket until a click is heard from the pivoted end as it is
locked under the stowage bracket. Repeat for the other stabilisers.
