6 ASSEMBLY AND DISMANTLING
6.1 General information
a) For assembly and dismantling of the mobile access towers, at least 2 people are necessary
and it is indispensable they are familiar with the assembly and use instructions;
b) based on the height which must be reached, choose to set up one of the configurations
outlined on page 7. The list, the weight and quantity of the elements necessary for assembly
are outlined on page 5.
c) no damaged components must be used;
d) only original parts must be used as indicated by the manufacturer.
6.2 Preliminary tests
a) The surfaces on which the tower is assembled and subsequently moved (if necessary) must
be capable of supporting the weight, it must be perfectly level and guarantee distribution
of the load, perhaps using planks or other equivalent devices;
b) absence must be ensured of obstacles;
c) the assembly operations can only start in the absence of wind;
d) all the elements must be checked, accessory tools and safety equipment to assemble the
tower are available on site;
e) The verticality of the mobile towers must be checked with the level supplied.
6.3 Assembly instructions
Having conducted the checks on par. 6.2, proceed to assemble the base section:
Check the 2-wheel support blocks with
the base batten using the 2 handle screws,
supplied.
Before completely tightening the screws,
assemble the first 2 side frames and insert
the fastening pins in the hole on the base
sleeve. Tighten the screws, proceed to insert
the brakes in the 4 wheels and, if using the
adjustable feet, on horizontal extraction of
these, the maximum quantity compatible
with the surrounding dimensions, a specific,
automatic device prevents its unintentional
removal, then tighten the extraction fastening
screw; then, level the base section working on
the feet screw and having taking care to lift all
the wheels off the ground at least 20 metres,
on levelling tighten the specific counter-nuts.

IT
11
Continue the assembly operations by
coupling the ends of the connecting
battens and the diagonal bars to the pins
on the frames .
Position the flat elements of the scaffolding
on the fourth rung from the bottom of the
first two side frames; firstly, position the
2 long toeboards parallel to the treadable
surface, then the 2 short toeboards, fitting
them in the respective compartments in
the long boards.
Position another 2 frames after the lower
ones and insert the fastening pins in the
holes on the frames.

12
www.marchetti.eu
Continue assembly of the upper tower
with insertion of the ends of the battens
and the diagonal bars to the pins on the
frames.
If the mobile access towers being set up
should have a work platform placed at a
height over 2 metres, at this point, you
have to assemble the 4 stabilizer braces.
Remove the joints for the stabilizer
braces from the bag supplied with the
scaffolding. Open the rear strip of the first
joint, loosening the relevant nut-eyebolt,
position the joint on the riser of the tower
at a height to fit the upper vertical part
of the brace. Repeat the operation with a
second joint in the same riser distancing
it adequately from the first to fit the same
brace.
Open the front strip of the two joints
by loosening the corresponding nuts-
eyelets. Position the brace between the
two joints with an inclination of approx.
120° compared to the long side of the
tower, compatible with the surrounding
dimensions.
Close the two front strips of the joint again
on the brace, ensuring this stays well on
the ground and tighten the corresponding
nuts-eyebolts. Repeat the operations with
the same sequence for the other three
risers of the tower.

IT
13
To continue assembly of the tower, at this
point, at least one of the operators responsible
for assembly should wear a safety harness
and climb on the next work platform from
inside the tower through the specific trapdoor;
gradually, as the assembly operations proceed
of the tower, you should take care to position
the scaffolding in such a position to guarantee
the operator present at a height moves in an
agile and safe manner and has the possibility of
easily fastening the safety harness worn; once
assembly is complete of the tower, the work
platform should be positioned according to
instructions, at the desired heights, including
the toeboards and the side guards, locating
the two side protection battens correctly, i.e.
positioning the batten with a 50x22 profile over
the 4th rung and the batten with the 97x25 profile
over the 2nd rung compared to the work platform
and taking care to fasten the hooks placed on the
ends of the upright on the frame.
6.4 Dismantling instructions
Dismantling of the towers must take place by executing the necessary operations in the inverse
order to those for assembly; the elements composing the towers must be lowered from above
using ropes or other suitable devices, avoiding sudden impact with the ground.
7 STABILITY
a) The mobile access towers must be assembled and used only in the absence of wind;
b) the stabilizer braces must always be applied, based on the configuration and the height to
reach, as indicated;
c) the maximum applicable horizontal load, for example by effect of the work in progress
on an adjacent structure, is 25 kg, intended as the total of the loads applied by various
operators on the scaffolding;
d) mobile access towers left unsupervised due to temporary suspension of works or due to
the presence of wind, must be firmly fastened to a fixed, stable structure;
e) no additional structures must be added at the top of the tower and no screens of any
nature, such as timber frames, coverings or otherwise, should be mounted.
8 USE
8.1 Preliminary controls
a) Check the mobile access tower was assembled in a vertical position, regularly and
completely following the supplier’s instructions to guarantee state of the the art
implementation;
b) check no environmental changes can influence safe use of the access tower (frost, rain,
wind, ...).

14
www.marchetti.eu
8.2 Use
a) It is not permitted to increase the height of the scaffolding using ladders, crates or other
devices;
b) it is compulsory to access the work platform from inside the tower, according to one of the
three possibilities planned.
c) where possible, the mobile access towers used outside buildings must be fastened securely
to the building or another structure;
d) it is forbidden to approach electrical lines under than 5.00 metres;
e) lifting the tools and materials up to the work platform must be carried out inside the
tower, from level to level, through a trapdoor, using adequately sized ropes with manual
traction. When this is not possible, lifting can be carried out outside the tower, always
using adequately sized manual traction ropes, for loads not over 50 Kg and lifted in a
vertical direction parallel to the tower and at a distance from it to remain inside the area
used by the stabilizer braces.
f) it is not permitted to rest and use lifting devices;
g) it is forbidden to jump on the scaffolding;
h) it is not permitted to implement tower connections between an access tower and a building;
i) access towers are not designed to be lifted and suspended (e.g. using a building site crane).
8.3 Movement procedure
a) the mobile access towers can only be moved manually, on compact, smooth surfaces free
of obstacles, perfectly level and in the absence of wind;
b) before moving, lift the adjustable feet off the ground, if present, and the stabilizer brackets
by a quantity not over 20 mm and release the brake on the wheels;
c) during movement, normal walking speed must not be surpassed;
d) during movement on the tower, no materials or people should be on it;
e) after movement, insert the brakes on the 4 wheels, level the tower again as indicated in
point 4.3.4.1 c), move the stabilier braces downwards to guarantee perfect adhesion with
the ground.
9 CHECKS, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
a) eliminate, after a certain number of uses at the operator’s discretion, encrustation caused
by mortar, cement, paint, etc., possibly on the various parts;
b) keep the tightening and adjustment screws well lubricated, if present;
c) before each assembly, check the perfect status of the components, replacing worn
or damaged parts with others of the same type and strictly original, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions;
d) in movement, transport and storage, take care not to subject any of the parts composing
the loaded towers which can generate permanent deformations, therefore avoid untidy
stacks and stacks of materials with differing characteristics.
e) every six months, completely service the equipment; the results of such servicing should
be recorded in the specific table.
