Page 4
1 GUARDRAIL BRACE PANEL
Claws are tted to the guardrail brace panels and each has an automatic locking
jaw which is released by simply moving the jaw’s trigger. The claw must only be
attached to the frame with the opening facing outward. Attachment with the
jaw’s opening facing inward will not fully protect the user if lent upon and may
cause serious injury or death. Always ensure that each claw is positively locked in
position before using your MiTOWER+.
2 EASY-CLIP FRAME CLIPS
The frame clip’s pin locates into a retaining hole in the frames to lock tower
sections together when placed one on top of the other. The pin is locked in place
by a red tab to ensure that it remains in place. From the disengaged position,
pivot the pin / tab to bring the pin horizontal. Insert the pin fully through the
retaining hole with its tail pointing down. Next ip the tab vertically to lock the
pin in place. Removal is simply a reversal of the tting sequence.
3 EASY-LOCK STABILISER
The coupler clamps are used to secure the stabilisers to MiTOWER+’s vertical
tubing. With the clamp jaw open, oer it to the tube. Bring the jaw around the
tube and set the buckle on to the hook, then close the clamp arm to lock the
stabiliser in position. A similar clamp is tted to the stabiliser extension leg.
4 WIND-LOCK CATCH
The wind-lock catch is a drop down jaw tted to the side of the hatch platform’s
mounting hook and prevents the platform from lifting in windy conditions. It is
attached to the horizontal tube of the frame. To disengage, simply lift and hold
the jaw as you raise the platform clear.
5 PLATFORM WITH BUILT IN EASY-HANG HANGERS
To enable one man to erect MiTOWER+, each hatch platform is tted with four
component hangers which are stowed (two either side) within the platform’s
frame. The hangers can be extended when needed and retracted when not.
To extend and lock a hanger, take a hold of the hanger stop end and pull from
the frame. Once the stop rivet is clear of the slot, turn the hanger 45 degrees
anticlockwise then gently slide back in until it stops. To retract the hanger, simply
reverse the procedure.
6 ADJUSTABLE LEG AND CASTOR
The adjustable leg and castor allows for accurate positioning of your MiTOWER+
in relation to your workplace. The leg can be extended or retracted to allow for
levelling and the brake must be applied to prevent movement.

PREPARATION
The oor area must be clear of any obstructions including materials and debris. Check that you have all the
components necessary to construct the tower height you require. Check also each component for condition
and correct function. If any part is missing or damaged/not working correctly it must be replaced before
assembling the tower.
3T (THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR) SYSTEM
The 3T method of construction has been developed to reduce the risk of an erector falling from a tower
during construction. The erector must sit on the platform with legs through the hatch and feet on the
frame rungs when attaching guardrail brace panels above the platform. This ensures the erector is always
protected by a set of guardrail brace panels.
TYING IN
You should consider tying in the tower to add to stability, but this may only be carried out by a suitably
trained person.
BALLAST
Where shown in the component list, ballast must be used to stabilise against overturning. Only use solid
materials as ballast (i.e. no loose materials) and position to avoid overloading individual components. Ballast
should be supported by the base of your MiTOWER+ and securely fastened to prevent removal.
ASSEMBLY GUIDE
These instructions must always be made available to the user. If replacement copies are required, please
contact your supplier.
DAMAGED COMPONENTS
Regularly inspect all components for damage. Damaged components must be quarantined so that they
cannot be used. Where safe to do so, the component can be repaired but only by a qualied repairer. If in
doubt contact your supplier for advice.
DISMANTLING YOUR MI TOWER+
MiTOWER+ is easily dismantled by simply reversing the erection procedure. Make sure that the component
hangers are evenly loaded to ensure your MiTOWER remains balanced. You must, however, be protected
by guardrail brace panels when standing on any platform and ensure that you use the 3T method when
removing guardrail brace panels.

GETTING STARTED
Page 10
GETTING STARTED
MiTOWER+ requires only one person to assemble and dismantle it. Your MiTOWER+ is supplied with uniform
1m high 4 rung frames which can be used at any stage of the assembly. During erection, the frames may be
connected together to create 2m high frames which makes assembly both quicker and easier.
STABILISERS POSITIONING
Stabilisers are supplied and must be used for all MiTOWER+ heights.
For maximum eect arrange the stabilisers by positioning at an angle of 45 degrees to give a footprint as close
to square as possible, as shown in Fig. 1.
If the tower is to be positioned against a wall, the stabiliser footprint can be altered as shown in Fig. 2 but only
where the height of the wall is a minimum of two thirds the height of the top working platform.
Ensure that all four stabilisers’ feet are in contact with the ground and that the ground can support the weight
of the tower and stabilisers.
MOVING YOUR MiTOWER+
When your MiTOWER+ needs to be moved a small distance to enable you to continue your task, this can be
achieved provided the stabilisers can remain in pattern and all tools, materials and personnel are removed from
the tower.
You will need to raise the stabilisers so that they are no more than 25mm above the oor and properly locked.
However, if the stabilisers have to be repositioned and this reduces the footprint, your MiTOWER+ must be
reduced in height to 2m.
You must only move MiTOWER+ by manual eort at a slow pace and only after fully assessing the risk. Once
moved, always check MiTOWER+ before using.
If MiTOWER+ is to be moved to a new location, a new level or over rough terrain, it must be fully dismantled and
rebuilt at the new location.

MI TOWER+ 2m - ASSEMBLY
Page 11
STEP 1 FROM TROLLEY
For ease of storage and transportation your MiTOWER+ is designed
so that all the components can be safely stored within the tower’s
base. Start by removing the free-standing components from within the
trolley and stack safely nearby for use. Remove one of the guardrail
brace panels and the hatch platform and store these with the other
components. Level the base as described in Step 2 and move to Step 3.
STEP 1 FROM COMPONENTS
Fully insert the adjustable legs with castors into two frames, turning the
leg’s height adjustment collar to bring each leg 25mm from the lowest
position.
STEP 2
Attach a guardrail brace panel to the vertical tube of one frame with the
upper claw positioned above the fourth rung and with all claws facing
outward. Make sure the claws are correctly locked on to the frame
tube. Now attach the second frame to the guardrail brace panel to
create the base frame assembly. Lock all four castors and using a spirit
level as a guide, adjust each leg to bring the base square and level.
STEP 3
Construct two sets of conjoined frames, these will give you two 2m
sections and will speed up the erection process. Release the frame clips
on one four rung frame and t it on to a second four rung frame. Apply
the frame clips and ensure they are correctly locked. Repeat this with
the second set. Fit one set of conjoined frames to a base frame and
apply the frame clips. Repeat this with the second set.
STEP 4
Next, attach one guardrail brace panel with its lower jaw positioned
above the sixth frame rung. It must be tted on the opposite side to the
rst guardrail brace panel to ensure stability. Ensure all claws are facing
outward and correctly locked on to the frame tube.

MI TOWER+ 2m - ASSEMBLY
Page 12
STEP 5
Stand inside the tower and t a platform on to the eighth rung, making
sure that the wind-lock catches engage.
STEP 6
Fit a stabiliser to each corner of the tower. Position the lower
horizontal stabiliser coupling clamp just above the frame’s second
rung, then secure the top stabiliser coupling clamp just above the
frame’s fth rung. Adjust the stabilisers so that you create as square a
footprint as possible. Adjust each stabiliser’s length so that they are in
contact with the ground. Make sure all coupling clamps are correctly
secured.
STEP 7
Extend and lock the four component hangers located on either side
of the platform. Place two guardrail brace panels on to one set of
hangers, and the toe board set on to the opposite side.
STEP 8
Enter the tower framework and climb the frame rungs until you are
half way through the platform’s trap door. Now manoeuvre yourself
so that you are sitting on the platform, with your legs through the trap
door and your feet on the frame rungs. From this position, you should
take each of the guardrail brace panels, one at a time, and attach so
that the upper jaws are positioned above the uppermost rung.
STEP 9
With both guardrail brace panels in position, you may access the
platform. Unfold the toe board set and position so that it sits on the
outer edge of the platform. Finally, retract all hangers and the tower is
now complete and ready to use.

catches engage. Next t a single 1m frame to a base frame and apply
the frame clips, then t a second 1m frame to the other base frame
and apply the frame clips.
STEP 2
Next, attach a pair of guardrail brace panels opposite each other with
their upper jaws positioned above the uppermost frame rung. Ensure
all claws are facing outward and correctly locked on to the frame tube.
STEP 3
Fit a stabiliser to each corner of the tower. Position the lower
horizontal stabiliser coupling clamp just above the frame’s second
rung, and then secure the top stabiliser coupling clamp just above the
frame’s fth rung. Adjust the stabilisers so that you create as square a
footprint as possible. Adjust each stabiliser’s length so that they are in
contact with the ground. Make sure all coupling clamps are correctly
secured.
STEP 4
Construct two sets of conjoined frames, giving you two 2m sections.
Take a four rung frame, release the frame clips and t it on to a
second four rung frame. Apply the frame clips ensuring they are
correctly locked and then repeat this process with the second set.
Place the conjoined frames one at each end of the tower ready to
be tted. Extend and lock the four component hangers located on
either side of the rst platform. Place a guardrail brace panel on to a
component hanger on one side of the platform and a second platform
on the other side.
