SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT use the MOBI scaffold tower:
• If the total load will exceed 225 kilograms.
• If the user is affected by alcohol or drugs.
• If any conductors of an overhead electrical power line are less than 4 metres from the tower.
• If any surface where the tower is to be used is not firm or level.
• If the tower is positioned in such a way that the operator could fall more than 1 metre, unless guardrails are fitted.
• Where a fall would result in serious injury unless guardrails are fitted. E.g. protruding reinforcing rods or other hazards
near the tower.
• If the tower has not been subjected to regular maintenance checks or is known to be defective.
• When the platforms are greasy or slippery and poor footing results.
• If the user has not had adequate training in the use of the MOBI scaffold system.
The manufacturers or supplier will not accept liability for injury or damage resulting from product failure due to
misuses, abuse, faulty installation and alteration, lack of reasonable care, lack of adequate training, use not listed
under these Operational Safety Instructions or any other failure not related to defects in materials or manufacture.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS, AND FOR PURCHASING THE EASY ACCESS
MOBI MOBILE TOWER.
GUARDRAILING
• Guardrail half frames must be used at each end of the tower when the platform is at the top height setting on any
frame or the topmost cross member of a frame is less that 900 mm above the platform.
• Guardrail half end frames fit on top of standard MOBI and support clip-on guardrails and mid-rails.
• Clip-on guardrails and mid rails attach to the cross members of the guardrail frame
OUTRIGGERS
• Outriggers are used to increase the sideways stability of the tower when it is used as a freestanding mobile scaffold
with a platform height of 5 meters or over, or to stabilize the side away from an adjacent wall or other rigid structure
that us not greater than 300mm away.
• Outriggers are attached to the frame uprights to increase the effective width of the 1.37 metre wide end frames.
• The outrigger end must rest firmly on a hard surface.
• Freestanding towers 5 metres or over in height must be stabilized by attaching outriggers on both sides and at both
ends.
• Where a platform is 5 metres above the supporting surface, the outriggers must extend at least 900mm out from the
castor support point at 90 degrees to the end frame.
• Where an adjacent wall or rigid structure is more than 300mm away from the tower but less than the specified
minimum width of the outrigger, the outriggers on that side should be angled to the end frames to achieve the
maximum width possible.
• Wheel locks on the castors must be applied whenever the tower is being used, or is left unattended.
• The tower must not be used outdoors when the wind speed exceeds 40kph. If this situation occurs, and it is not
practicable to dismantle the tower, it must be secured against movement or overturning. Apply the wheel locks,
ensure that the outriggers are securely attached where fitted and where possible secure it to a rigid structure.
• When the tower is left unattended, other than for a short period, ensure that the securing procedure above is
followed.
