PMB Quick Access User manual

SAFETY
The general equipment used for erecting tower are as follows:
-Gloves -Ropes -Spirit Level
GENERAL EQUIPMENT
Always wear the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when erecting the access tower.
-Safety Helmet.
Wear a safety helmet in a construction site especially buildings where materials often fall from the upper level.
With safety helmet equipped, the chances of having injuries to the head can be minimized.
-Safety Footwear.
Wear appropriate footwear that completely covers the feet unless the type of work undertaken require otherwise.
-Safety Harness.
Wear safety harness when the maximum drop or free fall heights is 1.8m from ground to the working level.
The usage of safety harness with double lanyard is strongly recommended.
Always make sure the safety harness is hook to a safe and strong anchor support.
SAFE WORKING LOAD
The tower has a maximum total Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1000kg. This is the maximum load that can be
placed on the castors.
The safe working load at each level of platform is 275kg evenly distributed, regardless of whether one or two
platforms are installed. Therefore, even if two platforms are installed side by side, total cumulative load shall
not exceed 275kg distributed.

USAGE ADVISE
Erection
-Ensure that the instruction guide has been read and understood by anyone using the tower. If in doubt,
please contact your supplier.
-Check that all components are on site and that they are functioning correctly. Do not use damaged or
incompatible tower component. Make sure that you have the correct amount of components.
-Check if the ground on which the mobile access tower is to be erected and moved, is capable of
supporting the tower. Always take into account ground conditions. On soft ground a suitable base
must be provided.
-Tower must always be climbed from the inside during assembly and using the built in ladder provided
during use.
-Never lean a portable ladder against the tower, only use the built in ladder provided.
-Do not use the adjustable legs to gain extra height, they are for levelling the tower only.
-It is not permissible to attach bridging between a tower and a building.
-Do not use boxes or step ladders on the platform to gain additional height.
-It is forbidden to jump onto platforms.
-Towers used outdoors shall, whenever possible, be secured to a building or other structure.
-Tower shall only be moved manually and only on rm level ground which is free of obstacles. Normal
walking speed shall not be exceeded during relocation.
-For linking tower or special application always consult your supplier.
-It is not permissible to attach and use hoisting arrangement on towers unless specication provided
by design.
Lifting Equipment
-Tower component should be rmly secured by reliable lifting material (e.g. rope), employing a reliable
knot (e.g. clove hitch), to ensure safe fastening.
Stabilizers/Ballast
-Stabilizers and ballast weights shall always be tted when specied.
-Ballast is used at the base to stabilize towers against overturning. The quantity schedule shown the
recommended stabilization. In circumstances where there is restricted ground clearance for stabilizer,
contact your supplier for advice.
-If must be solid material (i.e. not water or loose sand) and should not be positioned to overload individual
legs. Ballast should be secured against accidental removal, and be supported on the lowest rung of the
bottom frame.
Dismantling tower
-Keep to the instructions in this guide.
-Never throw equipment from the tower.
-Always lower equipment down to ground level by rope or hand.
-Always report damaged equipment. Equipment should be maintained in a serviceable condition.
Wind Speed
-When wind exceeds Beaufort force 4, cease using the tower.
-If wind is expected to reach Beaufort force 6, tie tower to a rigid structure.
-If winds of Beaufort force 8 are forecasted, dismantle the tower or remove to shelter.

MOVING TOWER
Before
-The tower should only be moved by manual eort, and only from the base.
-When moving the tower, beware of live electrical apparatus, particularly overhead, plus wires or moving
parts of machinery.
-No personnel or materials should be on the tower during movement.
-Make sure all castor wheels’ brakes are in release position.
-Caution should be exercised when wheeling a tower over rough, uneven or sloping ground, taking care
to unlock and lock castors. If stabilizers are tted, they should only be lifted suciently above the ground
to clear ground obstructions. The height of the tower, when being moved should not exceed 2.5 times the
minimum base dimensions, or 6 meters overall height.
After
-Relock castor and ensure that the tower is both vertically and horizontal aligned.
-Reposition stabilizers and ensure they have safe footing.
-Where necessary re-tie the towers to a rigid structure.
-Do not suspend mobile access towers without referring to your supplier.
-Atower must be kept in good working order. Any parts found to be faulty or missing should be
immediately replaced.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
-Equipment should kept clean, especially joints and moving parts.
-All working parts e.g. joints, threat should be lubricated lightly with oil.
-Do not let parts fall to the ground. Such abuse may reduce the structure integrity and
load capacity of the equipment.
-In the event of damage, the defective equipment must only be repaired by the qualied
personnel approved by the manufacturer
CHECK LIST
1. Inspect components before erecting the tower.
2. Ensure that the tower is upright.
3. Ensure all castors are locked.
4. Ensure all castors are rmly sited on the ground, not in hanging position
5. Ensure base plates are rmly sited on the ground. Sole plate needed when the tower is used on soft soil.
6. Ensure the tower is levelled by adjusting the adjustable leg.
7. Ensure Stabilizer are tted as specied in the assembly guide.
8. Ensure all the braces & platforms are properly installed.
9. Ensure the Handrails are tted in place.
10. Ensure Toe boards are correctly tted as specied in the assembly guide.
11. Ensure the Easy Access handrails are properly installed.*
12. Ensure the Couplers are locked rmly at the correct location.*
13. Ensure the Ballast is correctly in place.*
