    Safety First Introduction Please read this Userguide carefully. Please note that diagrams are for illustrative purposes only. User guides are also available - please contact us for more details.

  • Page 5: Safe Use

    Safety First Safe Use •  Check that all components are on site, undamaged and that they are functioning correctly - (refer to Checklist and Quantity Schedules). Damaged or incorrect components should not be used. •  Check if the ground on which the mobile access tower is to be erected and moved is capable of supporting the tower.

  • Page 6: Stabilisers/Ballast

  • Page 7: During Use

    Safety First 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.

  • Page 8: Ties

    Safety First Ties •  Ties should be used when the tower goes beyond its safe height, beyond the limits of the stabilisers/outriggers or if there is a danger of instability. They should be rigid, two way ties fastened to both uprights of the frame with load-bearing right angled or swivel couplers. Only couplers suitable for the 50.8mm diameter tube of the tower should be used.
