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 tower.
2 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

The wind lock catches comprise of a set of auto-engaging hooks at one end
of the platform and a single gravity type catch at the other. The purpose of
these devices is to prevent up-lift of the platforms in windy conditions. To
engage the auto wind lock (AWL) simply tilt the platform at the angle shown
before placing the hooks onto the rung of the end frame. Lower the
opposite end of the platform onto the opposite end frame rung and the
gravity type lock will automatically engage. Simply lift and hold the gravity
lock before tilting the platform to dis-engage the opposite AWL hooks when
removing the platform on tower disassembly.

BEFORE YOU START
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 M TOWER+ 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+
M TOWER+ is easily dismantled by simply reversing the erection procedure. Make sure that the component
hangers are evenly loaded to ensure your M TOWER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.

MI TOWER+ requires only one person to assemble and dismantle it. Your MI TOWER+ 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.

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.
When your MI TOWER+ 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.
However, if the stabilisers have to be repositioned and this reduces the footprint, your MI TOWER+ must be
reduced in height to 2m.

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.

hangers, and the toe board set on to the opposite side.
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.
