ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Tower Series 50002. Preface
Dear ALFIX Client,
With the ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Tower Series 6000, you have purchased a versatile and ro-
bust mobile tower (Mobile Working Platform).
In order to ensure safe working, its erection, use and dismantling must be carried out in
compliance with these “Instructions for Erection and Use”!
Please read this booklet carefully in advance. Take it with you prior to every single use. It
clearly explains all the required steps and security measures in the most appropriate order.
When working through all the pages, the schematic drawing, shown on the left, always
serves as an overview.
The types 6001-6012 correspond to all requirements of DIN EN 1004.
If you want to deviate from these Instructions for Erection and Use or if you have any ques-
tions concerning our mobile scaffold towers, please do not hesitate to call us. We are always

Instructions for Erection and Use3. Areas of Application
Prior to erecting your scaffold
There are two general areas of application:
Indoors, i.e. no wind effect (without wind load)
Outdoors, i.e. with the effect of wind (subject to wind load)
The representations, outlined below, are standard designs and are described in detail in
these Instructions for Erection and Use.
Other erection options must be agreed upon
with the manufacturer.

Scope and period of warranty are set forth in the manufacturer’s delivery and payment
conditions.
Intended use
The scaffolds listed in these Instructions for Erection and Use may only be used in accordance
with both the requirements of the EN 1004 standard and the structural design samples
specified herein.
Unintended use
The improper use of the scaffoldings specified in the present Instructions for Erection and
Use is considered to be an unintended use, as defined under the Product Safety Act [ProdSG]
(as amended 01/08/1997). This also applies to the disregard of the standards and guidelines
particularised in these Instructions for Erection and Use.

Instructions for Erection and Use4. General Notes
Erection
1. The permissible load of the Mobile Working Platform is 2 kN/m² according to
DIN EN 12811-1, load class 3.
2. Prior to the erection and use of the Mobile Working Platform, the Instructions
for Erection and Use must be read carefully.
3. Only persons who are trained based on these Instructions for Erection and Use
may assemble, dismantle and use the Mobile Working Platform.
4. The assembly and dismantling must be performed by at least 2 persons. For
installation heights above 6 m, at least 3 persons are required.
5. The working platform’s maximum permissible height is 12 m. It is inadmissi-
ble to increase height through boxes, ladders or other means.
6. The Mobile Working Platform may not be operated using foreign parts from
other manufacturers. Only parts specified in the Instructions for Erection and
Use must be exclusively used for assembly.
7. Prior to erection, the following issues are to be checked:
• The ground must be level and of sufficient load-bearing capacity.
• There are no obstacles around the location of the mobile working plat-
form.
• Damaged, defective or non-system parts must be removed.
• The wind conditions must be suitable for assembly.
• The Instructions for Erection and Use must be available at the site of use.
8. For assembly and dismantling, the deck surfaces or intermediate levels must
be arranged so that the vertical distance between the deck/platform surfaces
does not exceed 2.10 m.
9. Upon assembly, both the completeness and the tight fit of all connections
must be checked.
10. If a deck surface on the first level is accessed, the distance from the ground to
the top edge of the deck must not exceed 60 cm.
11. The vertical maximum distance between the different deck surfaces must not
exceed 4.20 m.

ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Tower Series 50004. General Notes
Use
1. Assembly, dismantling and use of the Mobile Working Platform outside of en-
closed spaces is only permitted at wind forces below 6 Beaufort.
2. Horizontal and vertical load applications, which may cause the Mobile Work-
ing Platform to overturn, are to be avoided.
3. The Mobile Working Platform must not be lifted and displaced using a crane,
forklift or the like.
4. The Mobile Working Platform must not be moved, if persons or loose items are
situated on the decking.
5. In order to move the Mobile Working Platform, the wheel brake must be re-
leased.
6. Upon movement, the castors are to be locked once again using the wheel
brakes.
Dismantling
1. Dismantling of the Mobile Working Platform is to be carried out in reverse order.
Inspection, servicing, maintenance
1. Scaffolding components must be handled and transported carefully to avoid
damage.
2. All components must be checked for damage.
3. All moving parts must be checked for proper functioning and dirt.
4. Damaged components must be replaced, sent for repair to the manufacturer
or destroyed.
Caution :
• Any deviations from these Instructions for Erection and Use are not allowed!
• Structural changes to the Mobile Working Platform must only be carried out by the manufacturer!

Instructions for Erection and Use4. General Notes
1. Erection, rebuilding and dismantling of the Mobile Working Platform must be
carried out in accordance with the Instructions for Erection and Use or upon
consultation with the manufacturer. The Instructions for Erection and Use
must always be available at the site of use! When handing over the Mobile
Working Platform to any third party, the Instructions for Erection and Use
must be forwarded to the user as well.
2. When working, a helmet and safety shoes must be worn.
3. When using the Mobile Working Platform outdoors or in open spaces at
wind forces exceeding six on the Beaufort scale (large branches in motion,
whistling in overhead power lines, difficulties to use an umbrella), the
platform is to be moved to a sheltered area or is to be secured against
overturning through appropriate measures (e.g. a compression-resistant
and tension-proof anchorage to a building structure) or is to be dismantled.
4. The scaffolding is to be placed perpendicular using the adjusting spindles.
5. Only original ALFIX counterweights may be used (no “equivalent weights”,
such as canisters with water, buckets of sand, etc.), the arrangement of
which is defined in these Instructions for Erection and Use.
6. The vertical frame joints are to be secured against accidental lifting using
locking clips or hinged pins.
7. Prior to using the scaffolding, its proper and correct erection must be
checked.
8. Access to the working platform shall only take place at the inside of the
scaffolding. The platforms with hatch-type access are to be alternately
arranged. The hatches are to be closed after climbing through.
9. Persons working on Mobile Scaffold Towers are not allowed to push
themselves against the side protection.
10. During movement, one must be certain that no people or loose objects are on
the Mobile Scaffold Tower.
