1. Thelocationoftherollingtowermustbecheckedtopreventaccidentsduringassembly,dismantlingandmovingwithrespectto:
A. Ahorizontal,atandsolidbase;
B. Thelocationmustbefreeofobstacles;
C. Maximum allowed wind speeds.
2. Checkifallrequiredparts,toolsandsafetytools(ropes,etc)forassemblingtherollingtowerareavailable.
3. Therollingtowermustnotbeoutoftheplumbinexcessof1%.Therefore,ataheightof4meters,thedeviationmaynotexceed4cm.
4. Theuseofhoistinggearonorattachedtotherollingtowerisnotpermitted;thiscanseriouslya󰀨ectthestabilityofthetower.

unauthorisedindividualscannotaccessit.Anchorthetowerwith2anchoragetubes(309106)ifthereisachangethatwindspeed
mightexceed4Beaufort*duringtheunsupervisedperiodoftime.
8. Particularattentionshouldbepaidtousingrollingtowerswhenthereiswind:
- withaspeedgreaterthan7,9m/s(maximum4onthescaleofBeaufort*);takealsointoaccountsquallsandgusts.
- inareasthatareverysensitivetowinde.g.,inopenconstructionsandatthecornersofabuilding.
Inthesecases,therollingtowermustbedisassembledormovedtoawind-freeplace.
9. Lateralloadsexceeding30kgresultingfromworkactivitiesontherollingtowerarenotpermitted.Intheeventofsignicantly
largerforces,thesca󰀨oldshouldbeanchoredtothefaçadeat2pointsevery4metres.
10. Never access the rolling tower on the outside and never stand on the braces.
11. Trianglestabilisersandballastmustalwaysbeattachedaccordingtotheconguration&ballasttable.
12. Hoisting or suspending the tower is not permitted.
13. Itisnotpermittedtoincreasetheheightofaplatforme.g.withladders,stepladders,boxesoranyotherobject.
