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 congurations outlined
on page 9. The list, the weight and quantity of the elements necessary for assembly are outlined
on page 7.
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:
A) Open completely the foldable base.
B) Place the work platform at the desired height.

11
ENG
C) Insert one of the connecting brace, by
joining the rst rung of the two base bearing
frames.
D) Place the two bearing frames, taking care
to insert the spring pins and verify the cor-
rect hooking.
E) Hook the two connecting brace at the
union between the frames.
F)
Place the work platform at the desired height.
N.B If the tower must be erected to a work pla-
tform height above m 2,00, one of the workers
authorised to assemble the tower, must put on a
safety belt and climb onto the work platform from
the inside of the tower through the trapdoor.
G) Position the two frames of the guardrail,
placing with the lower brace above the se-
cond beam from the work platform ( approxi-
mately m 1,00 ) and x the locking hooks to
the vertical upright of the bearing frames.
H) Position the 2 long toeboards parallel to
the work platform. Make sure plate hooks on
the ends of the toeboards face inwards; now
t the 2 short toeboards into the respective
housings found in the long boards.

12
www.marchetti.eu
I) If the SMART TOWER must be erected to
a work platform height above m 1,99, the 4
stabilizers must be tted.
L) Position the stabilizers with an angle of
about 120° in relation to the tower’s longer
side. Make sure the stabilizer adhere well to
the ground. Repeat the same sequence of
operation for the other three stabilizers.
M) Once the tower has been assembled, t
the work platforms, toeboards and lateral
protections at the desired heights. During
assembly, to raise the components fot the
upper section, it’s advisable to use ropes or
cables rated for the application, taking care
never to pass up more than one component
at a time. If access to the work platform is to
be gained by inclined rung or step ladders,
these must be attached with the two hooks
at the top end to the cross piece on which
the work platform.

ENG
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 stabiliser braces must always be applied, based on the conguration and the height to
reach, as indicated;
c) The maximum applicable horizontal load, for example by eect 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 scaolding;
d) Mobile access towers left unsupervised due to temporary suspension of works or due to the
presence of wind, must be rmly fastened to a xed, 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 inuence safe use of the access tower (frost, rain, wind, ...).
8.2 Use
a) It is not permitted to increase the height of the scaolding using ladders, crates or other devices;
b) It is compulsory to access the working surface 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 working surfaces 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 stabiliser braces.
f) It is not permitted to rest and use lifting devices;
g) It is forbidden to jump on the scaolding;
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).

14
www.marchetti.eu
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 o the ground, if present, and the stabiliser 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 and move the stabiliser
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 diering characteristics.
e) Every six months, completely service the equipment; the results of such servicing should be
recorded in the specic table ( Check list )

10.2 Access to work platform
It is compulsory to access the work platform inside the tower, the beams on the side support frames
composing the access ladder. People responsible for using the mobile access tower must use a fall-
proof device connected to the safety harness that limits free falling to no more than 0.70 metres. This
device must slide along a rope anchored on top of the last beam of the last side support frame and
under the wheel support block of the base section. The fall-proof device, the safety harness and the
holding rope must be certied.
