1. General
These Assembly Instructions and this User Manual (“Manual” hereinafter) describes how to assemble and use ClimTec®. It also contains
important safety information. For this reason, please read this manual and the safety instructions carefully before use.
ClimTec®is a modular scaold tower and can be complemented with a number of dierent accessories. This manual describes all of the

2. Product information
2.1 Intended use
– ClimTec®is a load class 3 scaold (200 kg/m2platform surface area). The maximum permitted load per platform is 180 kg if that load is
evenly distributed. This allows for a maximum of two persons with this combined weight.
– Maximum horizontal force for platforms: 30 kg
!
WARNING Do not exceed the maximum weight on the ClimTec®. Doing so can cause the scaold tower to collapse and can give rise to a
risk of serious or fatal injury !
– Personnel must only ever work on one working platform at a time.
– The tower’s maximum standing height is 5 metres when used in closed indoor spaces and when used outdoors.
– ClimTec®must only be erected on level ground with adequate load-bearing capacity.
– The tower’s vertical and horizontal alignment has to be checked with a spirit level.
– The maximum permissible tilt is 1%. Scaold towers that are not height-adjustable have to be levelled by placing break-proof and non-
slip materials underneath the feet.
Before use, always make sure that all of the required safety precautions have been taken and that the ClimTec®has been set up properly and
as described in the Assembly Instructions and User Manual. Where required, the ClimTec®may have to be protected from tipping over using
ballast and/or outriggers.
2.2 Improper use
The ClimTec®must only be used for the intended purpose specified under section 2.1. In addition to the above, improper use also comprises
the following:
– Creating a bridge between the ClimTec®and a building or another structure.
– Combining several ClimTec®s to create a single large working platform or a support structure.
– Using the scaold tower as a stair tower for ascending buildings.
– Attaching and using lifting devices.
– Using the ClimTec®as an attachment point for personal fall protection.
– Using the ClimTec®as side protection, e.g. at edges that present fall hazards.
3. Safety instructions
3.1 Applicable regulations
The ClimTec®’s assembly, disassembly, stability and use is governed by the regulations of EN 1004-1.
3.2 Safety instructions for assembly and use
– The site on which the ClimTec®is to be assembled, reconfigured or disassembled has to be checked for potential hazards before
commencing that work. These hazards have to be removed, avoided or minimised.
– Potential hazards include: unstable ground, slopes, barriers, weather conditions, electrical hazards, high winds generated by tunnel
eects when working in open buildings or the corner of buildings.
– The scaold tower must only be assembled, disassembled and used by persons who are familiar with this manual.
– Practical training in the use of this tower is not a substitute for reading these Assembly Instructions and User Manual.
