USAGE ADVICE
• Check that all the components are attached and in good working order

while working on the podium. Particular attention should be given to the ground condition, whether level or
sloping, obstructions and wind conditions. The ground should be capable of supporting the podium.

• No personnel or material to be on the platform whilst the podium is being moved

• Do not use boxes or steps to gain additional height. If extra height is required contact your distributor to get an
alternative podium/tower.
• Do not lift or suspend an assembled podium
• Damaged components or components from other podiums must never be used.
