ERAL SAFETY RULES
A risk assessment has been done and safety equipm
ent (Rope etc) and auxiliary tools are available on site for erec�on and dism
antling the tower.
The ground condi�on will take the w
orking load as specified .
The loca�on of tower should be checked to prevent hazards during erec�on &
dism
antling, moving and w
hile working on the tow
er. Level and slope, obstruc�on and w
ind condi�on should be checked.
Minim
um 2,3 persons are required to safely erect and dism
antle the tower.
Check instruc�ons before use. Mobile access w
orking towers m
ay only be erected and dism
antled by person competent for w
orking on aluminium
movable tow
er.
Do not use any scaffold tower w
hich is damaged, w
hich has not been properly erected, w
hich is not firm and stable, and w
hich has any missing or dam
aged parts.
Do not erect a scaffold tower on unstable ground, slopes or objects such as loose bricks,
boxes or blocks. Only a sound rigid foo�ng m
ust be used.Ensure that the scaffold tow
er is always level and the adjustable legs are engaged. Check
that you have taken all necessary precau�ons to prevent the tower being m
oved, or rolling aw
ay. Always apply all castor brakes or use base plates.
Ensure that all frames, braces and pla�orm
s are firmly in place and that all locking hooks
are func�oning correctly. Ensure that all frame locking clips are engaged. If any m
issing, replace them
. Never mix parts or com
ponents from other m
anufacturers. Damaged
components should be replaced w
ith the new com
ponents.
It is recomm
ended that the ver�cal distance between tw
o pla�orm level is 2m
tr. M
aximum
ver�cal distance between pla�orm
level must not exceed 4 m
tr.
Ensure that the scaffold tower is w
ithin the maxim
um pla�orm
height stated, and that the appropriate stabilizers are fi�ed.
Outdoor scaffold tow
ers should, wherever possible, be secured to a building or other
structure. It is good prac�ce to �e in all scaffold towers of any height, especially w
hen they are le� una�ended, or in exposed or w
indy condi�ons.
A free standing scaffold tower m
ust not be used in winds stronger than 17m
ph�27kph� Beaufort scale 4 . Be cau�ous if erec�ng or using the tow
er in open places, such as hangers or un-cladded buildings. In such circum
stances the wind forces can be increased, as a
result of the funnelling effect.
Do not use sheeted towers.
Do not erect or use a scaffold tower near un-insulated, live or energised electrical
machinery or circuits, or near m
achinery in opera�on.
If an overhead hazard exists, head protec�on should be worn.
Do not lean ladders against the tower, or clim
b outside of tower. W
hatever your intended access system
, it should only be used inside the tower.
Never climb on horizontal or diagonal braces. Do not gain access or descend from
the w
orking pla�orm other than by the intended access system
.

Do not work from
ladders or stairways, they are a m
eans of access only.
Always li� com
ponents from inside the tow
er.
When li�ing m
aterials or components alw
ays use reliable li�ing materials to ensure there
is no possibility of it falling.
Always �e the tow
er when it is le� una�ended .
Guardrails and toe boards must be fi�ed to the w
orking pla�orms.
Never jump on to or off pla�orm
s.
Never place the working pla�orm
on the guardrail frame. Alw
ays keep double height guardrail at each pla�orm
levels, never stand on an unguarded pla�orm.
DO NOT exceed the safe w
orking load of the pla�orm or structure by accum
ula�ng debris, m
aterial tools on pla�orms as these can be a significant addi�onal load.
The tower should alw
ays be accessed from the inside using the ladder fram
e ,never climb
up from outside. Ensure that the locking hooks on the pla�orm
are func�oning correctly.
Beware of horizontal forces (e.g. w
hen using power tools), w
hich could generate instability or overturning of the tow
er. Maxim
um horizontal force 20kg.
Should you require addi�onal pla�orm height, add further fram
es. NEVER extend your adjustable legs to achieve extra height, these are for levelling only. NEVER use a ladder or other objects on the pla�orm
to achieve addi�onal height.
Do not throw the scaffold parts , alw
ays lower them
to the ground.
Mobile tow
ers are not designed to be li�ed or suspended. Permissible load according to
scaffold load group is 200 kg/m2.
It is not permissible to a�ach and use hois�ng facili�es on tow
ers, unless specifically provided for by the m
anufacturer.
According to HD 1004 the double width tow
er must not be exceeded 12 m
tr to top pla�orm
for indoor use and 8 Mtr pla�orm
height (working height 10 m
tr) for outdoor use.
• For single width tow
er maxim
um w
orking height for both interior and exterior work is 8 m
tr.• If the pla�orm
height reaches more than 6 m
tr for single width and 8 m
tr for the double w
idth scaffold, then it should be secured against the wall prior to use.
• Always �e to a solid structure, w
hile tying the tower a�ach a �e at 4 m
tr interval.
The maxim
um w
orking load on the Ascend span 50 is 750 kg for overall structure (including tow
er self weight) and 250 kg evenly distributed on the pla�orm
. This must not
be exceeded. The safe working load at each level of pla�orm
is 360 kg evenly distributed. Therefore, if tw
o pla�orms are installed side by side, total cum
ula�ve load shall not exceed 360kg distributed. Do not overload the scaffolding tow
er.
Always take care of Alum
inium scaffold tow
er equipment. Rem
ember your safety depends
on the safe erec�on and use of the equipment.

MAINTENANCE RULES
MOVING A TOWER :
Ensure that the scaffold tower is kept clean.
Grease all moving parts with commercial oil. Wipe off excess oil.Position the stabilizers symmetrically to obtain the MAXIMUM BASE
Spigots and sockets should �it together with ease and be secured by an interlock clip. Check frames and braces, adjustable legs and boards for paint, grit, burrs etc. Remove any foreign substance with a light wire
Where brace, ladder and platform hooks attach the frames, ensure that the frame rungs are kept clean.
Ensure that all locking hooks function correctly. If necessarylubricate with light oil.
Please check that spigot are in to the position and should �iteasily into frames.
The inside diameter of all hooks should be kept clean to ensure they �it to other components without being forced.
If in any doubt about the proper use and maintenance of thescaffold tower equipment, consult the manufacturer.
Do not misuse or abuse the scaffold tower with heavy objects, hammers etc. Do not throw components in and out of vehicles or to the ground when the tower is being dismantled. Such abuse may reduce the structural integrity of the scaffold tower. Adjustable leg's thread should be clean and lightly oiled. Under no circumstances damage or incorrect components shall be used , Either repair it or get replacement.
1. If you must move a tower, remove all materials and personnel. When moving a scaffold tower, force must always be moved from the base. The tower should only be moved manually on �irm, level ground which is free from obstacles. Normal walking speed should not be exceeded during relocation. The ground over which a tower is moved should be capable of supporting the weight of the structure. Make sure tower height is not above 4 mtr while moving the tower. Recheck the tower level and reposition stabilizer before use .2. Check the location is �irm and free from pot holes .3. Raise the stabilizer feet only enough (25mm) to clear the obstructions. 4. Wind speed should not exceed 29km/h(Beau fort force 4).5. Check that there are no power lines or obstruction overhead.6. Before each use check that the MAT is vertical or need readjustment.7. Whether the structure assembly is still correct and complete.8. That no environmental changes in�luenc safe use of the MAT.
USE OF STABILIZERS
ALWAYS ENSURE STABILIZER SIZE IS CORRECT ANDABLE TO SUPPORT TOWER
Stabilizers are to be used, when speci�ied, to guarantee the structural stability of the tower
Lightly tighten the upper clamps above the third rung on each corner post. Position the lower clamp above the bottom rung. Ensure the lower arm is as horizontal as possible. Position the stabilizers so that the footpads are approximately equidistant from each other, as shown in Fig 1. Adjust the stabilizer and reposition the clamps as required to make �irm contact with the ground. Ensure the clips with locking pin are in place. When in the correct position, tighten the clamps �irmly.
To position the tower against a wall, do not remove the stabilizer; move parallel with the wall. (Fig 2)
To position the tower in a corner, remove the inside stabilizer and place the outside two parallel with the wall. (Fig 3)
