Euro Towers SPO829 User manual
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.
REMEMBER YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON THE SAFE ERECTION AND USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

Assembly Instructions
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.
5. 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.
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 meters 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 toe-boards 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.
