Assembly

4.1 General
The mobile scaffold tower must only be assembled once the personnel involved have read the product information (section 2) and safety instructions (section 3) in full. Assembling and disassembling the tower requires at least 2 persons. Mobile scaffold towers with a height in excess of 6 metres require 3 persons to assemble. Only use original parts in compliance with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
Pages 116 and 117 contain a table with the individual steps for assembling the scaffold. Please note that certain steps may have to be repeated multiple times. For this reason, please make sure to perform all of the individual steps shown for your scaffold, which will depend on your scaffold’s height. A detailed explanation of the individual steps can be found from section 12 onwards.
* If you want to create lower, straight working heights (e.g. 6.50 m) with the packages of odd working heights (e.g. 7.50 m), you also need 2 pieces of diagonal braces and, for the 1000 and 5000 series, the access aid art. no. 703972 and 1 x art. no. 702517 (2,00 m) / 702500 (2,50 m).
INFORMATION ON USING THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Assembly Instructions describe how to assemble the STABILO ® mobile scaffold tower in a number of different configurations. Please read the entire assembly instructions before assembly and take note of the differences between the different assembly options. Depending on the height of the topmost working platform, the mobile scaffold tower will either have to be fitted with ballast weights (version A – page 126 or outriggers (version B – page 127). Please read the corresponding information in this manual.
4.2 Fitting the set of stabilisers
If using the mobile scaffold tower on a wall, it can be prevented from tipping over by fitting it with a set of stabilisers. The use of stabilisers does in no way remove the need for the required ballast weights and outriggers. When using stabilisers, always fit at least two stabilisers directly below the topmost working platform (see drawing page 134). Always use ring bolts to fasten the device to the wall.
4.3 Attaching ballast to the mobile scaffold tower
Mobile scaffold towers have to be weighed down by placing ballast weights on top of the base rails to ensure the tower‘s stability. Please refer to the corresponding table in the table section starting on page 130 for the number of ballast weights to be used, which depends on the height of the mobile scaffold tower.
4.4 After assembly or modification of the mobile scaffold tower‘s configuration
The tower has to be fitted with a sign that is visible from the ground and contains the following minimum information:

• Name and contact details of the person in charge of the site
• Whether or not the mobile scaffold tower is ready for use or not
• The load class and maximum distributed load
• Whether the mobile scaffold tower is only designed for use in closed indoor spaces
• The date the tower was erected

Disassembling the mobile scaffold tower

The mobile scaffold tower has to be disassembled in reverse order of the relevant assembly instructions.

Inspection, care and maintenance

All of the tower‘s parts must be checked for damage before setting it up and any damaged parts must be replaced. Damaged parts must only be repaired by the manufacturer. Only use original spare parts.
Visually inspect the tower to make sure that all of the welds and other materials are free from cracks, and that none of the parts are bent or dented. Make sure that parts such as locks, spindles, castors etc. are in proper working order.
The following components always have to be checked every time before assembling the tower:

• Vertical frame and base sections with castors: check for deformations, dents and cracks
• Diagonal braces and guardrails: check for deformation, dents, cracks and whether the locks work
• Working platforms: check for deformation, dents, cracks and whether the locks work
• Hatch: make sure hatch works
• Toe boards: condition of wood, cracks
• Swivel castors: castors’ ease of movement and brakes’ effectiveness in stopping the castors from rolling and rotating.
• In adjustable castors, check the spindles’ ease of movement. Check safety locks (locking pins, wing screws) on the vertical frame and base sections with castors
• Retainers: check for deformation, dents, cracks and secure fit
• The tower‘s components have to be stored in such a way that they cannot become damaged.
• The individual parts have to be stored lying down and protected from weather.
• Components have to be positioned and protected in such a way during transport that they cannot become damaged.
• The tower components can be cleaned using water and conventional cleaning agents. Any paints spilled on the components can be removed with white spirit.
