General instructions
The employer responsible for the work to
erect the scaffolding is responsible for pro-
viding the instructions for erection and use
to the specialist staff who erect, use or
supervise working with the aluminium lad-
der scaffolding.
As a minimum, 2 persons are required to
erect and dismantle the aluminium scaffol-
ding. The persons carrying out the erection
work must have sufficient knowledge and
experience for this task.
The erection work must be managed by
supervisors with appropriate expertise in
this area, who are also able to guarantee
the work is carried out in accordance with
the regulations.
All instructions and safety advice similarly
apply for private users. The private user is
to take care, in accordance with the instruc-
tions, that the respective regulations are
similarly observed.
The aluminium scaffolding is intended to
enable users to reach high-level working
areas in buildings and in the open.
Permitted works on the aluminium scaffol-
ding are, for example, inspections, servi-
cing works, cleaning works or light restora-
tion works.
Checking, care and maintenance
Never allow parts of the aluminium scaffol-
ding to fall from a height to the ground.
Clean the aluminium scaffolding regularly,
in particular the moveable parts, to remove
paint, plaster, mortar and other residues, in
order to safeguard their technical safety
functions.
Before and after each use, check the alumi-
nium scaffolding to see that all components
are present and function correctly, and also
check for broken parts, cracks, wear and
tear or other damage.
In particular, check the working platform and
its laminated wood covering for damage.
Check to see that the running wheels are
in perfect condition.
Do not use force, e.g. striking with a ham-
mer, to assemble or dismantle the scaffol-
ding. When transporting the scaffolding,
the components are to be stowed correctly
and fastened securely.
If the individual parts are to be stored for a
longer period, they should be kept in a dry
environment either standing upright or lying
flat.

GB
•The aluminium scaffolding should only
be erected and dismantled by persons
familiar with the instructions for erection
and use.
•Damaged components must not be used.
•Only the original components are to be
used, in accordance with the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Before being erected,
all parts are to be checked to ensure
that they are in a fault-free condition. A
check is similarly to be made to ensure
that all construction components and
safety equipment are complete and
available for use.
•The surface on which the aluminium
scaffolding is being erected must be
capable of bearing the permitted total
weight of the scaffold.
e.g. basic scaffold 9476
+ extension scaffold 9477
max. load 135 kg
+ max. own weight 65 kg
+ max. ballast load 100 kg
= 300 kg
The site must be level and free of
obstacles. Wind conditions must also
be taken into account for this.
It must be possible to align the
aluminium ladder scaffolding to within
an incline of 1% from the vertical.
•The scaffolding is to be erected in
accordance with the instructions for
erection and use.
For model 9477, at least 2 persons are
required to erect and dismantle the
aluminium scaffolding.
•These persons must be equipped with
suitable work clothing and safety shoes.
Where applicable, excessive leaning
out beyond the edge of the platform is
to be avoided when erecting and when
using the aluminium scaffolding.
•The diagonal stays and the platform
stays on the working platform must
always be fastened to the rungs on the
ladder or the rung stays, as shown in
the instructions for erection and use.
•The wing nuts must be screwed hand-
tight during erection.
Safety advice

ProfiStep®multi aluminium ladder scaffoldingProfiStep®multi aluminium ladder scaffolding
•Before use, it should be ensured that all
necessary safety provisions to prevent
tipping have been carried out.
Note: if specified, ballast weights are to be
applied to the stabilizer bars.
•A working scaffold is not intended to
serve as tower stairs, used to access
other constructions. It is not designed to
be lifted up or attached.
•When moving the aluminium scaffol-
ding, no materials and no person or
persons should be on it.
The aluminium scaffolding must only be
moved by hand, and only on a firm,
even, obstacle-free surface.
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.
•Vertical positioning in the crosswise and
lengthwise direction is to be checked
during erection using a spirit level.
If the scaffolding needs to be raised on
one side in order to be positioned verti-
cally, then the stabilizer bars must be
secured to ensure they do not drop
away.
Note: this applies especially to grassed areas
of ground!
•Care must be taken with regard to hori-
zontal forces which could cause the scaf-
folding to tip – e.g. as a result of addi-
tional wind stresses, such as the tunnel
effects of buildings forming a wind corri-
dor, or when working on unclad
buildings or the corners of buildings.
•Before use, a check should be made to
see that the aluminium scaffolding has
been properly and fully erected in
accordance with the specifications of
these instructions for erection and use,
and is standing vertically.

9
GB
•Attaching and using lifting equipment
and devices is not permitted.
Movement of tools and materials is only
permitted via the access openings provi-
ded on the scaffolding, i.e. through the
opened access hatch.
When not in use, the access hatch is to
be kept closed.
•Jumping on the working platform is not
permitted.
•The maximum permitted load on the
working platform is 135 kg.
•The height of the laminated working
platform is not to be increased by using
ladders, boxes or other devices or
equipment.
When erected parallel to a wall, the
scaffolding must only be moved in a
lengthwise direction. In doing so, care
must be taken over obstacles at height.
To move the aluminium scaffolding in
its assembled state, the stabilizer bar
should only be lifted so far that the feet
of the stabilizer bars are a maximum of
3 cm above the ground. The scaffol-
ding should not be crashed into any
obstacle.
It is not permitted to move the scaffol-
ding on an inclined surface.
When moving the scaffolding, wind
conditions must be taken into account.
•Attaching bridging elements between
the aluminium scaffolding and a buil-
ding is not permitted.
•Leaning out over the side protection or
bracing oneself against the side protec-
tion is not permitted.

10
ProfiStep®multi aluminium ladder scaffoldingProfiStep®multi aluminium ladder scaffolding
•If the aluminium scaffolding is being
used on the outside of buildings, then
as far as possible it is to be safety
secured onto the building or onto
another solidly-constructed element.
•If being used in the open or on open
buildings, work is to be stopped if the
wind increases and/or at the end of the
shift the aluminium scaffolding is to be
moved to an area protected from the
wind, or secured against tipping over
using other suitable measures.
•The scaffolding is not to be used during
storms, nor in proximity to power-lines.
•Dismantling of the respective aluminium
ladder scaffolding is carried out in the
reverse sequence to that for erection.
•Accessing and coming down from the
working platform is not permitted via
any access route other than the access
hatch provided. Accordingly, one should
only go up using the inside of the ladder
sections on the aluminium scaffolding.
The hatch to the working platform should
only be opened in order to climb
through, and should be kept closed at
all other times.
•No attempt should be made to attach
several aluminium scaffolds together to
create a single scaffold to cover an area
or space, or to act as a load-bearing
element.
•The aluminium scaffolding must not be
used for works on parts under tension
and on machinery being operated.
•The aluminium scaffolding must not be
exposed to any aggressive liquids or
gases.

Ballasting instructions
Note:
The ballast weights are for your own safety.
The ballast weights must be applied at certain
heights as described and illustrated.
Ballast weights
(12.5 kg/item)
are available as
accessory items.
To secure the aluminium ladder scaffolding
against tipping and to ensure that it sits
securely, ballast weights are to be applied
to the stabilizer bars when the working
platform is at certain given heights.
Rungs 1 to 6 = no ballast weights
required
Rungs 7 and 8 = 50 kg (4 x 12.5 kg)
Rungs 9 to 11 = 100 kg (8 x 12.5 kg)
