– The scaffold tower (mobile working platform) must only be assembled and used on
level and solid surfaces capable of bearing the scaffold‘s weight.
– The scaffold tower (mobile working platform) must only be used with original compo-
nents that are free from defects.
– The castors must be locked by pressing down the brake levers and all scaffold
tower (mobile working platform) components must be checked for correct assembly
and working order before use.
– When using the scaffold (mobile working platform), it is only permitted to perform
work from a single platform respectively.
– It is prohibited to perform jumping movements when on the scaffold tower (mobile
working platform).
– It is prohibited to lean out over and brace against the scaffold tower (mobile working
platform).
– The scaffold tower (mobile working platform) must only be used in winds with a
speed of less than a force 6 (~ 45 km/h). In winds greater than a force 6, the scaffold
tower (mobile working platform) must be dismantled or moved into a sheltered area
and protected from being blown over. Winds with a force greater than force 6 can, for
example, be identified by the fact that they will make it noticeably more difficult to
walk upright.
– Working platforms must be secured with 3-component guard rails comprising a hand
rail, middle rails and toe boards all round. Intermediate platforms that are only used
for assembling, disassembling, changing and climbing the scaffold tower (mobile
working platform) do not have to be fitted with toe boards.
– On completion of the work, the mobile scaffold tower (mobile working platform) must
be anchored and protected against unauthorised use or dismantled.
– The stabilisers and ballast weights as well as outriggers and wall spacers must be
fitted as specified in this Assembly and User Manual.
– It is only permitted to carry tools and materials up the ladder. When doing so, it is im-
portant to take note of the weight of the tools and materials to ensure that the plat-
form‘s weight bearing capacity is not being exceeded. It is not permitted to use lifting
gear on the scaffold tower (mobile working platform).
– It is not permitted to access and leave the working platform by means other than
the designated access points.
– It is not permitted to construct bridges between scaffold towers (mobile working plat-
form) and buildings using scaffold (mobile working platform) planks or similar materi-
als. The scaffold tower (mobile working platform) must not be used as a stair tower
for ascending other structures.
