2.1 Safety instructions
1. Do not step on the frame of the folding unit! Always use platforms, rungs
or access steps when climbing the scaffold tower.
2. Use only undamaged and defect-free original spare parts from the manu-
facturer's scaffold system covered by the test certificate.
Before using the scaffold tower, check that all its parts have been assem-
bled correctly and are functioning properly.
3. The scaffold tower must only be set up in an upright position on a horizon-
tal, level surface with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Use load-distributing pads if necessary. Before moving the scaffold tower
to a location, ensure that the ground is capable of bearing the tower's
weight.
4. Engage the brakes on the castors before using the scaffold tower.
Release the brakes on the castors before moving the scaffold tower.
5. Secure the scaffold tower using four stabilisers. When setting up the
scaffold tower next to a wall, swivel the stabilisers such that they prevent
thetower toppling over.
Use three stabilisers to secure the scaffold tower when it is set up in a cor-
ner.
6. The scaffold tower must only be moved in the longitudinal or diagonal
direction by manual effort on a firm, level and unobstructed surface.
Thescaffold tower must not be moved any faster than normal walking
speed. Take note of any electrical wires in the surroundings when moving
the tower.
7. The requirements specified in EN 1004 (“Mobile access and working tow-
ers") apply to the stability, assembly and use of the scaffold towers men-
tioned in this manual.
8. The scaffolds may only be assembled and used by people who are familiar
with these assembly and use instructions.
9. In compliance with EN 1004, the platform height must not exceed 8 m for
outdoor use and 12 m for indoor use.
10. Do not use any lifting equipment on the scaffold tower.
11. Personnel are only allowed to work on a platform if it is fitted with com-
plete three-part edge protection (i.e. guardrail frame, knee rail and periph-
eral toeboards). Toeboards are not necessary on intermediate platforms.
12. Work must not take place on more than one platform at the same time.
13. When loads are evenly distributed, the scaffold tower has a permissible
load capacity of 2.0 kN/m² (according to EN 1004 – Scaffolding Class 3).
