• Theverticalpositioningofthescaffoldistobechecked
in both the lengthwise and the crosswise direction using
a spirit level while the scaffold is being erected. If the
scaffolding needs to be raised on one side in order to be
positioned vertically, then the running wheels (lower side
frame) must be supported to prevent them slipping away.
The stabilizer bars must similarly be secured to ensure they
do not drop away. Note: this applies especially to grassed
areas of ground!

This is ensured by attaching stabilizer bars and ballast
weights, and by depressing the brake lever on the running
wheels.
Note: if specified, stabilizer bars and ballast weights are to
be applied.The individual types are described in the instruc-
tions for erection and use.

When moving the scaffolding, care must be taken to ensure
that normal walking pace is not exceeded, and that the
scaffold must only be moved in the direction of its longer
side or pivoted around one of its corners.
