Amendment to all the FRACO platforms User's Guide
Please read carefully the present letter and insert it in all your Fraco User's Guide:
Fraco is changing the anchoring procedure for all types of platforms when using ground base. The most
recent versions of our user's guide are available on our Web site (www.fraco.com). Please refer to them
for installation procedures with regards to changes below.
The two first ties must be at 10 and 20 feet or at the two first accessible structural levels on the building
(max 20').
This new procedure is to upgrade the safety of our platform during the operation of installation and
dismantling.
The platform must be secured by lifting equipment while installing or dismantling the two first ties. Once
the second tie is in place, the installation continues by the usual procedure; reduce load platform (1/2 load)
except the ACT-4 and the anchoring sequence typical for the type of platform in use as shown below:
FRSM-1500, FRSM-3000, FRSM-8000 :
20 feet
ACT-8 et FRSM-20 K :
30 feet
ACT-4 :
40 feet
