USER MANUAL FOR UPSIDE LOAD TOWERS 3
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.

USER MANUAL FOR UPSIDE LOAD TOWERS 4
Figure 5
Do not use the tower on tilted surfaces that require
pieces to level the tower.
Figure 6
Before placing a load, make sure that the load never
exceeds the maximum allowed. Consult the section of
load data
Figure 7
Never move a load without level.
Figure 8
Do not use ladders on the tower or leaning against it.

USER MANUAL FOR UPSIDE LOAD TOWERS 5
Figure 9
Not grease and lubricate the mechanism of the winch
and the pulleys of the masts.
Figure 10
Not allowed to lift people or animals.
Figure 11
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 12
Verify that the tower is beyond the reach of power
lines.
The tower is not electrically insulated and can
transmit currents of power lines.

Not use the tower as welding mass.
If necessary, use the grounding placed on the base.
Figure 14
Not lift a load if there is danger of collision. Take at
least 1.5 meters on any direction to lift safety the
load.
Figure 15
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 16
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.

Fix and secure the legs stabilizers to the base.
Figure 21
Level the tower. Ensure that the wheels never contact
the ground.
Figure 22
Unlock the security system to start to lift.

Move the handle of the winch to lift the tower.
When the section reaches its limit, lock with the
security system and unlock the following security
system to lift the next mast. Do the same operation
until you reach the required height.

DYNSYS SYSTEM
The Dynsys system is an optional solution to control the maximum load in our tower lifters.
The Dynsys limits the máximum load avoiding to lift a load bigger than the máximum load. The limitation
is do it for use as a machine system. For more information about the máximum load, check the load
table.
In case of lift a load bigger than the máximum of the tower, the Dynsys detects the incriase of load and
stops the elevation. In that case the load only can go down.
In case of limitation, the Dynsys advise with noise.
The Dynsys Works like a preventive maintenance. If the tower works with problems like damaged
internals, bad state of steel wire, the dynsys limits the maximum load decreasing it till the tower works
fine. If this happens, please contact with technical department or your local distributor.
The system allows to dismantle the lever. You can block the tower removing the lever. This is a form to
ensure that nobody alien to the show can move the tower up or down. You only need to remove the
Allen screws.

MAINTENANCE
Figure 32
Cable damaged detail.
Check periodically the state of the cable. If the cable is broken must be replaced immediately with a new one. Do not
use the tower with a cable shabby. If any doubt, contact with Fantek Industrial S.L.
In case of replacement of pieces. Replace only original parts Fantek Industrial S.L. Otherwise, the warranty is voided.
Is recommended a review of the tower by specialized staff of Fantek Industrial S.L. once a year.
To request any spare must attach the reference of the piece included in the spare manual that can be obtained in
[email protected]

MANUAL DE USIARIO PARA TORRES DE CARGA SUPERIOR 18
TRANSPORT
To the transport of the towers:
-Verify that the legs stabilizers are securely fixed to the tower in the transport and they cannot be released.
-Check that all sections are locked.
With forklift
To transport the towers with a machine type forklift the ATCTT106 accessory is necessary. Follow the instructions of
the machine operator transport manual. Take into account the height of what is transported. Avoid sudden turns
and braking.
Figure 33
Detail of transport with forklift.

MANUAL DE USIARIO PARA TORRES DE CARGA SUPERIOR 19
With truck or container.
For the transport by truck or container, always tie the tower by two points. Use ratchets not less than 250 kg of
force.
Place ratchets so that the tower cannot move by inertia in curves or sudden braking.

DGUV V17/18 NORM REGULATION. Explanation
DGUV V17/18 is a norm that regulates the stage and production elements in the entertainment industry. Lifting
equipment and rigging are part of this norm and cover structures and other technical elements.
Adopt DGUV V17/18 is totally voluntary (except in Germany) but its adoption is required by insurance companies
and indeed is becoming a norm in the industry
The application of this norm on lifter towers is vital because, in theaters, stages, etc.., are used to move loads above
artists, technical staff, etc... and in some cases, above viewers, representing a potential risk of fall.
NORM DGUV V17/18. Fields of application
This standard is oriented in two ways:
On the one hand, lifting towers adopt designs and materials in order to achieve a high degree of safety in
quantities such as supported load, equilibrium, resistance to friction, etc.
Thus lifter towers FANTEK DGUV V17/18 certified, they assure the user that have passed strict controls during
design, choice of materials or load checks and effort.
On the other hand, in order to achieve optimal performance with these units, it is recommended, and a
responsible use of the unit, (meeting basic norms such as obey the maximum load or balance), periodic
maintenance which It must be carried out by expert technicians, checking the condition of the steel cable and
winch, the functioning of the security pins and the folding/unfolding of all sections.
All the above tests are only mandatory in those countries with specific regulations on the matter, applied through
regulations or laws. As manufacturers, we recommend passing all tests in order to prevent damage and ensure
proper operation of P.A. lift systems.
