For advice on the safety and suitability of this
equipment contact your local HSS Hire Shop.

Keep children, animals and bystanders away from
the work area.

Never use this equipment if you are ill, feeling tired,
or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Never
work on the scaffold if you suffer from vertigo.

This equipment should only be used by a competent
person who has read and understood these
instructions.

Wear sensible, protective clothing

and footwear offering good grip,

plus work gloves and a hard hat. Tie back long hair
and avoid loose garments and jewellery that could
get in your way.

Don’t use the scaffold ‘out doors’ as it is designed for
internal use only.

Keep the scaffold on firm, level ground, DO NOT use
on slopes or soft ground or where there is a risk of
subsidence.

Erect the scaffold away from overhead hazards.

Never suspend the scaffold from another structure.

Never carry anything when climbing, unless you can
do so leaving both hands free. Place tools and
materials on to the platform before climbing.

Always check the condition of components before
use – and at regular intervals thereafter. If any show
signs of damage or excessive wear, do not use them.
Return them to your local HSS Hire Shop. 

Always ensure the scaffold is correctly built and
level before use – and check regularly thereafter.

Insert the castor and adaptor assembly into the base
unit and lock into position with the locking clip.
Then lock the castor brakes to ON.

Lift the base unit upright, you may need some help
here.

Fold out the base unit, insert the locking pins (see
diagram) and position the deck at the platform
height required (between 0.3m & 1.8m).

Now unlock the castor brakes and move the scaffold
to its working position.

Once in place, lock the brakes and check that the
scaffold is absolutely level – check this using a
builder’s level.

Finally, double-check that all components are locked
and secure before continuing.
