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 specified, 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)
