Building the Tower

2.1

Pre-Assembly Checks

• Check overhead that the area into which the structure is to be erected contains
no obstructions, particularly electrical or radio radiation hazards. The structure is
conductive.
• Ensure the ground on which the access tower is to be erected is capable of
supporting the tower in use.
• Check the surface is level within the 210mm range of the adjustable legs.
• Only components specified in this manual shall be used with BoSS towers.
Check all required components are on site and in a suitable working condition.
• Damaged components shall not be used and must
be put beyond use and disposed of according to local
regulations.
• Adjustable legs should only be used for levelling purposes and never to gain
extra height.
• Ensure distance from the ground to first climbing rung is less than 400mm.
• Only climb the tower from the inside using the access
method provided.
• This tower provides a work platform. It must not be
used to access other structures.
• Tower scaffolds are not designed to be lifted or suspended.
• Ensure the safe working load on the structure is not exceeded.
• Tools and materials should be lifted using a reliable lifting material (e.g. a strong
rope) employing a reliable knot (e.g. clove hitch) to ensure safe fastening and
always lift within the footprint of the prefabricated tower scaffold (i.e. within the
area bounded by the stabilisers).
