SAFE USE
- Check that all components are on site, undamaged and that they are functioning correctly – (refer to Checklist and Quantity Schedules). Damaged or incorrect components shall not be used.
- Make sure the ground on which the mobile access tower is to be erected and moved is capable of supporting the tower.
- The safe working load is 275 kgs (606lbs), per platform level, uniformly distributed up to a maximum of 950kgs (2100lbs), per tower (including self weight).
- Towers must always be climbed from the inside using the built in ladder during assembly and use.
- It is recommended that towers should be tied to a solid structure when left unattended.
- Adjustable legs should only be used for levelling.
MOVEMENT
- The tower should only be moved by manual effort, and only
from the base. - When moving the tower, beware of live electrical apparatus,
particularly overhead, plus wires or moving parts of machinery. - No person or materials should be on the tower during
movement. - Caution should be exercised when wheeling a tower over
rough, uneven or sloping ground, taking care to unlock and
lock castors. If stabilisers are fitted, they should only be lifted
a maximum of 25mm above the ground to clear ground
obstructions. - The overall height of the tower when being moved, should not
exceed 2.5 times the minimum base dimensions, or 4 metres
overall height. - Before use, check the tower is still correct and complete.
After every movement of the tower use a spirit level to check
that it is vertical and level and set the adjustable legs as
required. - Do not move the tower in wind speeds over 7.7 metres per
second (17mph)
