Position motorized unit Installation should be done under the supervision of a competent person, respecting all federal, state, and local regulations. In reference to the plan/layout drawing or having otherwise established position of motorised unit, determine where mud sills need to be positioned. On free standing installations, open base outriggers as far as possible.

Page 18 Position motorized unit Base separation instructions Separating the base for uneven ground or for bypassing obstacles can be done following these steps. With the platform sitting on its base, remove locking bars and/or transportation hooks. Tie cylinder and secondary hooks away from tower using wire or rubber straps. Slide a piece of 2x4” x 6’ (38x89mm x 1,8m) long through access platform guard rail system to keep it closed for next step.
Page 19 Position motorized unit Base separation instructions, continued 10- The base can also be separated and installed with its long side parallel to the wall when space is limited near the ground. Follow same base separation steps but install ﬁ rst tower rotated 90 degrees. The base tower anti-error installation stubs will need to be removed to set the next tower section.
Page 20: Access
Access To reach work area when motorized unit is To reach work area when motorized unit is above 10’ (3,05m) we reccommend you use between 0 and 10’ (3,05m) high, climb up tower a staircase and opening on the building. If unavailable, climb tower rungs up to the access rungs on wall side of machine making sure wall platform, them climb the access platform ladder up onto the work area.
Page 21 Access The use of fall protection equipment is mandatory when climbing or descending the tower if exposed to height over 10’ (3,05m). Ex: Use full body harness and self-retracting lifeline. Attach rope to self-retracting lifeline hook for easy access from ground. Use of fall protection equipment is also mandatory when modifying planking (add shock absorbing lanyard).
Page 22: Rest Platform
Rest platform NOTICE The use of a retractable rest platform is recommended to access jobs 40’ to 69’ (12,2m to 21,0m). We do not recom- mend using the climbable tower on jobs over 69’ (21,0m) Folder part because of time and effort required to reach the work area. Installation procedure For safety reasons, we recommend that the rest platfrom be installed from the motorized unit deck or from a man basket underneath the motorized unit.
Page 23 Rest platform USE OF REST PLATFORM Climb the tower until one step above the rest platform. Raise the handle to retract the rest platform from the tower. Step on the rest platform as handle reaches vertical position. Once you are on the rest platform release the handle. When you will start climbing again the rest platform will retract into the tower automatically.

Page 34 Wall ties Before attaching towers to the building using the tie system, it will be necessary to install anchors to a solid building structure. Concrete slabs, columns, steel beams, relief angles and other structural members can be used provided that a 3 000 lb (1 360 kg ) tension / compression and 1 000 lb (454 kg ) shear force can be applied.
Page 35: Anchor Installation
Wall ties Anchor installation While work is in progress and platform is rising, install wall anchors as per wall tie schedule. Measure distance from edge of slab to face of brick. Select the correct size anchor to suit. Removal After adjustable wall mounts have been removed, cut off ﬁ xed anchor at mortar joint using a grinder.
