Jumbo HOBBY - Scaffold Manual

USE AND FUNCTION

This type of scaffold is designed to be loaded with max. 200 kg.
JUMBO HOBBY Scaffold is intended for use where there is a need for safe and easy access to a task at a given height. The scaffold is weatherproof, but it is recommended to store the scaffolding indoors when not in use. In general, aluminum scaffolding should avoid contact with untreated iron constructions and with iron particles, as they can work their way into aluminum.
When working outdoors the scaffold should never be used at a windforce exceeding 12,5 m/sec. In order to secure the scaffold from being blown over, or when not in use, it is recommended to move it to a sheltered place.

REMEMBER: Control the scaffold before use: Are the brakes on the castors actived and is the scaffold mounted as indicated in these instructions.
JUMBO HOBBY Scaffolding consists in its simplicity of a few modular sections and can be expanded in accordance with the following instructions.

Security

NOTE: Lifeline/fall-arrestsystem must NOT be fastened on JUMBO HOBBY Scaffolds.
When installing at respectively 3.61 and 5.57 meters it is recommended to use two people to assemble a JUMBO HOBBY Scaffolding
The platforms must be secured with the storm lock to prevent accidental separation (A). All castors must be locked by pressing the pedal down (B). All braces (horizontal & diagonal) are provided with self-locking claws (C).

Ergonomics

Ensure that the workplace and the access thereto is cleared, well-lit and not slippery. Lift as far as possible with your legs w / back straight and avoid twisting and turning during the lift. Be sure to plan the work and site configuration in relation to the burden, as far as possible use the lightest components of scaffolding. Plan breaks during particularly heavy burdens, so muscles and joints can be relieved, and use suitable technical aids (eg, hoists and lifts) to reduce the burden.

Maintenance

JUMBO HOBBY scaffolding does not usually require maintenance. Do not use hammer or alikes to free the scaffolds from mortar.
Do not use oil product! to lubricate claws, storm blocks and castors - use a PTFE-spray

GENERAL RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Mounting and dismounting must be done in accordance with the installation instructions or by agreement with the manufacturer. JUMBO HOBBY Scaffolding must be installed in level. Scaffold towers mustl be assembled or dismantled only by persons with the necessary knowledge of the structure and use. Scaffold towers can be assembled by one person, but it is recommended to be 2 persons, as this is faster and more secure.
2. Before assembly, all components should be checked. Only original, undamaged JUMBO components should be used.
3. The castors should be mounted and fastened inside the frame´s vertical tubes. The weight must always be evenly distributed over all 4 castors.
4. The frames must be secured with self-locking clips. The curved part of the clips should pint outwards and downwards, it automatically locks.
5. JUMBO HOBBY Scaffolds should always be assembled on a solid and sustainable base. When moving the scaffold push only in the longitudinal direction. During movement the inclination must never exceed 2°, and move only at walking speed. Avoid jolts and impacts.
6. When moving the JUMBO HOBBY scaffold make sure no persons og loose items are on the scaffold.
7. After moving the brakes must be engaged at once. To prevent accidental runaway ensure that all castors are braked before entering or leaving the scaffolds. Before the scaffold is used, ensure that it is structured according to instructions.
8. Beware of overhead obstructions. The scaffold must always be min. 3 m from live electrical wires!
9. Lifting devices or hoists must not be placed on or attached to JUMBO HOBBY Scaffolds.
10. Only climb on the scaffold from the inside. Access hatches must always be arranged offset relative to each other and must always be kept closed. Ascent and descent of the platform must only take place by the designated access routes.
11. Persons working on the JUMBO HOBBY Scaffold must not lean against or over the guardrail.
12. The scaffold should not be used to support building components.
13. Do not use extra ladders, boxes, ecc. to increase the range.
14. It is not allowed to jump onto platforms or throw anything down on them.
15. Corrosive liquids and jolts are not allowed.
16. Do not expose the scaffold to long stays at under -20°C or over +70°C.
17. Do not use the scaffolding outdoors or in open buildings, if the wind speed exceeds 12.5 m / sec. it must be placed in a protected location so it does not tip over, or possibly dismantled. The same must be done at the end of workday.
18. Do not attach advertising signs or similar on the scaffold, it might increase the windload
19. Always show a good example and make it a good habit to use personal protective equipment (helmet, gloves, safety footwear and lifelines)
20. The assembly instructions must always be at the scaffold. .
21. If the scaffold is handed over to a third person, the assembly instructions must always follow.

BASE MODULE

Mount the castors before mounting the scaffold!

Mounting the castors

1. Insert the white plastic fitting into the vertical tube on the scaffolding
   
2. Behind the castor there is a bolt. Use the enclosed Allen key to hold back the bolt and turn the white plastic piece until you can feel the castor fasten in the tube. Tighten with allen key.
   
   Repeat for all 4 castors.

Erection

1. Erect the scaffold so it stands on its castors and pull the frames from each other so the scaffold unfolds. Pull the folding section all the way out until the snap lock locks.
