• ProTUBE Scaffolds should not be
climbed from outer side and support,
cross and horizontal parts should ne-
ver be stepped on.
• Don’t increase the height of the plat-
form you are working on with a lad-
der, crate etc. (Diagram 1)
•
• The oor measurements of the plat-
forms of the scaffold cannot be incre-
ased by using different materials.
• Lifting equipment usage on the Pro-
TUBE Scaffolds should not be per-
mitted. This may seriously affect the
balance. (Diagram 2);
• The parts and tools on the working
oor of ProTUBE Scaffolds can only

• Wind load should be taken into conside-
ration in areas that are affected by wind
such as open constructions, building cor-
ners etc. Scaffold usage should be stopped
under wind powers that exceed 38 km/h
(max. 6 Beaufort). It should not be trans-
ferred. If possible it should be xed to the
wall and ProTUBE Scaffold should be
transferred to a place without wind when
the wind power decreases. (Diagram 4)
Max. 38 km/h
• National regulations and the measures
should be taken into consideration for
the wind loads.
• Additional working platform and ot-
her objects should not be placed on
the outer side of ProTUBE Scaffolds.

4. Then place the 1 covered platform
to the 3rd step. Balance the scaf-
fold according to the long sides and
short sides by using a water scale.
(Diagram 5) You need to turn the sc-
rewed tool on the wheels right and left
in order to balance your scaffold.
5. Fix 4 balance legs (support) to the
scaffold. Connect the connection tool
between the short part of the balance
legs to the gap between 2nd step and
3rd step and its long part to the gap
between 6th step and 7th step. Af-
ter making sure the tools completely
grasp the carrier prole, tighten the
bakalite heads by turning. Make sure
each balance leg wedges are in conta-
ct with the solid surface (Diagram 6
and 7). It is not mandatory to use ba-
lance legs for working heights lower
than 2.5 m. However if the work app-
lies a horizontal load on the scaffold,
balance legs should be used.
6. Go on top of the platform of the 3rd
step. Place the modular frames of
the 2nd oor by passing through
the modular frames of the 1st oor.
