RULES AND SAFETY USE
Figure 1
Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts of
the tower.
Figure 2
Not charge the tower without the legs stabilizers
lowered.
Figure 3
Do not lift the tower without proper leveling. To lift a
load, the tower must always be stabilized. The wheels
must not touch the ground.
Figure 4
Place the tower on a stable Surface.
If the ground has a low degree of compaction (earth,
gravel, etc..) consult the section of load data.

Figure 5
Do not use the tower on tilted surfaces that require
pieces to level the tower.
Figure 6
Mount the longest legs stabilizers in the part of the
horns. Safety pins must lock the stabilizers.
Figure 7
Lift the mast in the correct order.
Lift the mast of the tower starting always for the
carried. The last mast lifted has to be the next to the
section where the winch is placed.
Figure 8
Before placing a load, make sure that the load never
exceeds the maximum allowed. Consult the section of
load data

Never move a load without level.
Figure 10
Do not use ladders on the tower or leaning against it.
Figure 11
Not grease and lubricate the mechanism of the winch
and the pulleys of the masts.

Figure 13
Do not stand under the load. The load must be
secured to the tower in order to prevent that the load
cannot fall down.
Figure 14
Verify that the tower is beyond the reach of power
lines.
The tower is not electrically insulated and can
transmit currents of power lines.
On the following table is recommended the average
length between the highest part of the structure and
the power lines.

Not lift a load if there is danger of collision. Take at
least 1.5 meters on any direction to lift safety the
load.

The tower can be used outdoor if the wind speed is
low and If it doesn’t put the installation in risk. The
installation is always under responsibility of the
owner.
Figure 18
Do not use the tower as a support of banner or
another type of decoration with strong wind. That can
destabilize the tower and make it fall down.

LOAD DATA
Before placing a load, make sure that it can be raised to the maximum height of the tower. Otherwise it could
cause an accident or damage the tower.
Figure 38
Place and position detal of the load.
Place of the load.
1. Determine the position where the load is to be placed and consult the tower capacity. Never exceed.
2. The "X" distance between the load is taken from the carrier to the end of the horns.
3. When it is possible, place the load as close to the carrier. This prolongs the life of the tower.

Load table.
P.A. lifting systems are designed so that the maximum load is placed in the central area of the horns allowing a better
use of the system. Following can be found the maximum loads to be borne by each tower model for maximum
working height.
Figure 40
Detail of load positions.

MANUAL DE USUARIO PARA TORRES FT. / USER MANUAL FOR FT TOWERS
USE AS MECHANISM.
The tower lifter works like a mechanism when the load is lifted using the winch.
USE AS STRUCTURE.
The tower lifter works like a structure when all mast are locked and the Steel wire doesn’t have strength.
In that case, all parts of the tower Works like a big column to support load. The load can be lifted using
manual or electric hoists.
USE WITHOUT ALUMINIUM REINFORCEMENT STRUT.
This use is restricted for assemblies that has the tower in front themselves joined by a truss structure
and fixed. Never use this load table for towers joined by a truss in parallel position.
