USER GUIDE

Introduction

This BOSS ROOM-MATE User Guide is designed to provide
you with step by step instructions to ensure that your system is
erected with the maximum of ease and safety. Before assembly,
please read this User Guide. If the scaffold is passed on to
another person they should also receive these instructions.

Compliance

All BOSS ROOM-MATE Towers must comply with the general
requirements of the following:
BSEN 1004:2004
Work at Height Regulations 2005

Safety

Check that all the components are available and are functioning
correctly.
Check that the ground is level and capable of supporting the
weight of the structure.
During erection it is recommended that a temporary guardrail
brace be employed.
The safe working load is 275kg per platform uniformly
distributed, 750kg maximum per scaffold structure. This weight
should not be exceeded.
Lifting of equipment (at higher levels)
l Components should be firmly secured by a reliable lifting
material (e.g. rope) employing a reliable knot to ensure safe
fastening.
Movement
The Room-Mate should only be moved by manual effort at the
base.
No personnel or materials should be on the structure during
movements. During use
The BOSS ROOM-MATE is intended mainly for internal use - if
used externally, beware of winds in excess of 17mph (7.7 metres/
second) and cease working on the tower.
Raising and lowering of components should be conducted
within the base of the scaffold.
Beware of horizontal forces that generate in excess of 20 kg.

Inspect the equipment before use, to ensure that it is free from
damage and functions properly. Ensure you are using the correct
