LOCKING CASTORS

 

Castor wheels should be pointed outwards 
at approximately 45 degrees and locks en-
gaged as shown opposite.

 

FITTING STABILISERS

 

Attach a stabiliser to each corner of the 
tower at approximately 45 degrees for max-
imum stability (refer to relevant illustrations) 
and attach the clamps where indicated.

 

On the S2 stabiliser use the telescopic leg 
for adjustment on uneven ground.

 

Make sure that all stabilisers are firmly in 
contact with the ground when using the 
structure.

 

CORRECT FITTING OF 
HORIZONTAL BRACING

 

THE CORRECT FITTING OF 
HORIZONTAL BRACING IS IMPORTANT.

 

The diagrams opposite illustrate the 
CORRECT brace positions.

 

REMEMBER: Always fit braces 
DOWNWARD or from the inside facing 
OUTWARD –

 

BUT NEVER INWARD

 

FITTING ADJUSTABLE LEGS

 

Take the adjustable leg assembly complete 
with its castors, make sure that all the 
adjusting nuts are positioned down at the 
castor and slide them into the vertical tube, 
turn the base unit the right way up and with 
the aid of a spirit level placed on the 
platform, the adjusting nuts can be used to 
level the structure. (and not to gain 
additional height).

 

BRACE CLAMP LOCKING

 

Ensure that the brace clamp is locked as 
shown. 

 

Always make sure the brace is not clamped 
too close to the weld as indicated by the 
arrow on the drawing on the right.
