STABILISERS/BALLAST
• Stabilisers or outriggers and ballast weights should always be
fitted when specified.
• The Quantity Schedules show the recommended stabilisation.
In circumstances where there is restricted ground clearance for
stabilisers/outriggers, contact your supplier for advice. Ballast
must be made up of solid materials (i.e. not water or loose
sand) and should not be positioned to overload individual legs.
Ballast should be secured against accidental removal where
practicable, and be supported on the lowest rung of the
bottom frame.
MOVEMENT
• The tower should only be moved by manual effort, and only
from the base.
• Beware of live electrical apparatus when moving the tower
(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 that 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).

DURING USE

• Beware of high winds in exposed, gusty or medium breeze
conditions. We recommend that in wind speeds over 7.7
metres per second (17 mph), cease working on the tower and
do not attempt to move it. If the wind becomes a strong breeze
(expected to reach 11.3 metres per second - 25 mph) tie the
tower to a rigid structure. If the wind is likely to reach gale
force (over 18 metres per second - 40 mph), the tower should
be dismantled.

Gale Force Walking is difficult
• Beware of open ended buildings, which can cause a funnelling
effect.
• Do not abuse equipment. Damaged or incorrect components
should not be used.
• Raising and lowering components, tools, and/or materials by
rope should be conducted within the lower base. Ensure that
the safe working load of the supporting decks and the tower
structure is not exceeded.
• The assembled tower is a working platform and should not be
used as a means of access or egress to other structures.
• Beware of horizontal forces (e.g. power tools) which could
generate instability. Maximum horizontal force 20kg.
• Mobile towers are not designed to be suspended - please refer
to your supplier for advice.
• Do not use boxes or stepladders or other objects on the
platform to gain extra height.
