HSS Hire 937 Operating & Safety Manual

TOWER SAFETY
Never overload the tower. The work platform's
maximum load is 100kg on a deck.
Never lean anything against the tower.
Never use it for jobs that exert repetitive or
excessive force. Lateral forces over 198N –
equivalent to a 20kg weight – make it unstable.
Never use boxes, steps etc to gain extra height
and never reach too far out to one side.
If the tower is to be repositioned on a higher step,
DO NOT attempt to move it as a complete
assembly. Always dismantled it and rebuild at the
new location.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never use the tower for anything other than its
intended purpose – as a light-duty work platform.
If it will not fulfil your requirements, contact HSS Hire
for advice
.
Keep the tower clean, paying special attention to
the deck. You will find this easier if you clean up
regularly.
When not in use, store everything somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
FINISHING OFF
To dismantle the tower, start at the top and work
down, reversing the erection procedure.
Work through the steps in strict sequence.
If components jam, persevere. Wiggle and pull
them until they come free. Don't damage the
components by using a hammer or otherwise forcing
the joints apart.
Always lower components to the ground carefully
when dismantling the tower. Never simply drop
them as damage or serious personal injury may occur.
Once the tower has been dismantled, give
everything a final clean and collect all the parts
together ready for return to HSS Hire.
