INSPECTION, CARE & MAINTENANCE
The toeboard, when placed on the working platform, prevents
materials and tools from falling from the tower. It consists of
folding side and end sections which are articulated via a series
of hinges.
It can be opened and fitted over the platform edges by first
unfolding the ends and sides as shown in the image to the left.
Once unfolded, place all four lower inside edges over the outer
edges of the platform.

7 ADJUSTABLE LEG AND CASTOR
The adjustable leg and castor allows for accurate positioning
of your EIGERTOWER 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.
Do not use the adjustable legs of the wheels to increase the
height of the tower. Only use the adjustable legs to level the
tower. Make sure that the distance from the ground to the
first step does not exceed 400 mm.

9 SAFE QUICK ADVANCE GUARDRAIL PANELS
(SQ AGR)
The SQ AGR panels consist of both horizontal bracing and
diagonal bracing members in a panel which can be attached
to the tower from a safe guarded position. The horizontal
bracing elements within the panel also act as a set of ‘integral’
guardrails an as such provides automatic guarding in advance
to accessing the next level or lift of tower.
The panels are attached by means of the same type of
triggered hook as the horizontal and diagonal braces. The
triggered hooks are found at the end of the arms at the base
of the panel and another pair of hooks can be found at the
top of the panel. However these hooks are not triggered and
are simply placed over the horizontal frame tubes. They have
rubber inserts placed in the hooks to prevent the panels from
slipping on the horizontal tubes.
The triggered hooks at the base are used to positively lock the
panel in position. Place the upper hooks over the horizontal
frame tube 2m above the assembly platform and then ‘snap
the triggered hooks onto the lower horizontal frame tubes.
Keep all components clean and free from contaminants. If any part becomes contaminated with paint, acid, oils or
similar products the tower must not be used until the effected components have been cleaned and re-inspected.
Particular attention should be paid to welded joints and any moving parts, such as brace claws, adjustable leg
adjustment collars and stabiliser clamps. Ensure all safety decals are present, intact and readable.
A detailed Inspection Guide is available. To obtain a copy of this guide, please contact POP UP Products.
Threads, hinges and brace claws may be lubricated with light oil to ensure correct functionality is maintained.
Ensure oil does not contaminate climbing or walking surfaces.
All components should be stored in a dry location where they will be protected from adverse weather conditions.
When storing or transporting, keep frames upright and platforms flat. Do not stack excessively to avoid stress damage.
Please contact POP UP Products for further details on maintenance and repair of your EIGERTOWER components.
