1. Check instructions before use. Mobile access working towers
may only be erected and dismantled by persons familiar with
these instructions for erection use.
2. Do not use any scaffold tower which is damaged, which has not
been properly erected, which is not firm and stable, and which
has any missing or damaged parts.
3. Do not erect a scaffold tower on unstable ground or objects such
as loose bricks, boxes or blocks. Only a sound rigid footing must
be used.
4. Ensure that the scaffold tower is always level and the adjustable
legs are engaged. Check that you have taken all necessary
precautions to prevent the tower being moved, or rolling away.
Always apply all castor brakes or use base plates.
4. Ensure that all frames, braces and platforms are firmly in place
and that all locking hooks are functioning correctly. Ensure that
all frame locking clips are engaged. If any missing, replace them.
5. Ensure that the scaffold tower is within the maximum platform
height is stated, and that the appropriate stabilizers are fitted.
6. Outdoor scaffold towers should, wherever possible, be secured to
a building or other structure. It is good practice to tie in all
scaffold towers of any height, especially when they are left
unattended, or in exposed or windy conditions.
7. A scaffold tower must not be used in winds stronger than 7.7
metres per second. Beaufort scale 4. Be cautious if erecting or
using the tower in open places, such as hangers or unclad
buildings. In such circumstances the wind forces can be
increased, as a result of the funnelling effect.
8. Do not use sheeted towers.
9. Do not erect or use a scaffold tower near un-insulated, live or
energised electrical machinery or circuits, or near machinery in
operation.
11. If an overhead hazard exists, head protection should be worn.
12. Do not lean ladders against the tower, or climb the outside of the
tower. Whatever your intended access system, it should only be
used inside the tower.
13. Never climb on horizontal or diagonal braces. Do not gain access
or descend from the working platform other than by the intended
access system.
14. Do not work from ladders or stairways, they are a means of
access only.
15. Guardrails and Toeboards must be fitted to the working
platforms.
16. Never jump on to or off platforms.
17. DO NOT exceed the safe working load of the platform or
structure by accumulating debris, material or tools on platforms
as these can be a significant additional load.
18. If you must move a tower, remove all materials and personnel.
When moving a scaffold tower, force must always be moved from
the base. The tower should only be moved manually on firm,
level ground which is free from obstacles. Normal walking speed
should not be exceeded during relocation. The ground over which
a tower is moved should be capable of supporting the weight of
the structure.
19. Should you require additional platform height, add further frames.
NEVER extend your adjustable legs to achieve extra height,
these are for levelling only. NEVER use a ladder or other objects
on the platform to achieve additional height.
20. It is not permissible to attach and use hoisting facilities on towers,
unless specifically provided for by the manufacturer.
21. It is not permissible to attach bridging sections between a
scaffold tower and a building. Refer to the tower manufacturer.
22. ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF ALUMINIUM SCAFFOLD TOWER
EQUIPMENT. REMEMBERYOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON THE SAFE
ERECTION AND USE OF THE EQUIPMENT. RESPECT IT.
MAINTENANCE RULES USE OF STABILIZERS

1. Ensure that the scaffold tower is kept clean, especially the
spigots and sockets. These should fit together with ease and be
secured by an interlock clip.
2. Check frames and braces, adjustable legs and boards for paint,
grit, burrs etc. Remove any foreign substance with a light wire
brush. Check no slip hazards exist on the platform.
3. Where brace, ladder and platform hooks attach the frames,
ensure that the frame rungs are kept clean.
4. Ensure that all locking hooks function correctly. If necessary
lubricate with light oil.
5. The inside diameter of all hooks should be kept clean to ensure
they fit to other components without being forced.
6. If in any doubt about the proper use and maintenance of the
scaffold tower equipment, consult the manufacturer.
7. Do not misuse or abuse the scaffold tower with heavy objects,
hammers etc. Do not throw components in and out of vehicles or
to the ground when the tower is being dismantled. Such abuse
may reduce the structural integrity of the scaffold tower.
8. Under no circumstances use a scaffold tower which damaged,
has not been properly erected, is it not rigid and which has any
missing parts.
9. REMEMBER YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON THE SAFE
ERECTION AND USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT. RESPECT IT.
Stabilizers increase the EFFECTIVE BASE dimensions and
improve the STABILITY of the tower.
Position the stabilizers symmetrically to obtain the MAXIMUM
BASE DIMENSION, use the full adjustment of the telescopic
stabilizers.

KLIK 2.5m LADDER FRAME SCAFFOLD TOWER SINGLE WIDTH KIT LIST APR/15
This range of Single Width Tower gives an exceptional versatile system ideal for working in narrow and confined spaces such as stairwells, corridors, alleyways
etc. All frames can be used as uppers or lowers, simply place the platform on the third rung below the top of the tower and the correct guardrail height is achieved.
BASE SET UPS:
BASE SET UP: You must get your base set up correct in order to achieve safe guardrail
heights on rest and working platforms. Safe guardrails require 2 rungs above every
platform.
PLATFORM POSITIONS:Fit platforms every 4 rungs, Temporary platforms enable safe
assembly, if temporary platforms are used in assembly they must be repositioned during
dismantling. Trapdoors must be fitted at the ladder frame end.
ALTERNATIVE FRAMES AND BRACE PATTERN:Where 2 x 4 rung frames are stated,
these can be replaced by 1 x 5 rung and 1 x 3 rung, Ladder or Plain frame. Diagonal braces
should be in a continuous pattern from rung to rung except where interrupted by a rest
platform, diagonal braces can be stepped up/down 1 rung.
These changes do not compromise the towers structural integrity.

KLIK SINGLE WIDTH LADDER FRAME ERECTION INSTRUCTION MANUAL
APR/15
The tower requires a minimum of 2 people for assembly; do not attempt to assemble a tower by yourself
Facing the ladder frame, fit a trapdoor platform on
appropriate rung* inside the brace hook as near to the ladder as possible (*see base set up Fig 1 for guide).
Facing the plain frame, fit a trapdoor platform on
appropriate rung* over the brace hook as near to the frame vertical as possible, trapdoor to ladder frame end (*see base set up Fig 1 for guide).
Insert two adjustable legs and castors into frames.
Fit in 2 horizontal braces to the vertical member of
the frames, as low as possible, below the 1st rung. All horizontal braces fit on from inside the tower facing out.
Facing the plain frame fit 1 diagonal to the bottom
rung as close to the right hand frame vertical as possible. Facing the ladder frame fit 1 diagonal to the bottom rung as close to the ladder as possible.
From a sitting position through the trapdoor (3T) fit four
horizontal braces to the frame verticals above the rungs pushing from inside to out.
Secure stabilizers as soon as possible to increase
tower stability, the lower arm as close to horizontal as possible.
To add frames, stand on platform and offer frame up
to the spigots ensuring ladder runs continuously.
After adding frames, engage interlock clips.
Facing the plain frame fit 1 diagonal to the rung next to
the platform* as close to the right hand frame vertical as possible. Facing the ladder frame fit 1 diagonal starting 2 rungs above the platform as close to the right hand ladder as possible. (*see Brace Patterns for guide)
From a sitting position through the trapdoor (3T) fit
four horizontal braces to the frame verticals above the rungs pushing from inside to out.
Fit Toeboard’s in the correct position.
Dismantling is the reverse of assembly except to
remove guardrail braces. Unclip the far end hooks and then from a sitting position through the trapdoor (3T) remove the guardrail braces. Do not remove the handrails whilst standing on the platform; this would put you at risk.
Lock castors and level tower.
PLEASE NOTE - If temporary platforms are used during
assembly reposition them during dismantling. Single width towers have 2 braces at the base and singular
thereafter on alternate sides.
Continue erecting tower to final tower height, repeating steps 8-12.
MOVING A TOWER Remove people and materials from the tower, and reduce the height of the tower to 4.2m. Adjust and raise the stabilizers 25mm from the ground, ensure the couplers are tight, and push from at or near the base by manual effort only, never use mechanical means. Recheck level and reposition stabilizers before use.
Castor Unlocked Castor Locked, note castor wheel has swivelled in line
