SAFETY GUIDE
Read Before Use
Thoroughly read this manual before
assembling or using scaffolding unit.
Electrical Warning
Never use scaffolding unit in proximity
to live electrical circuits or power lines.
Prior to Use
`Only use scaffold unit while complying with local, state, and national guidelines
and legislation. It is the users responsibility to know and follow the rules.
`A competent person should manually inspect scaffolding prior to each use,
ensuring all parts are present and in good condition and that casters, siderails,
and platforms are properly locked and components are secured with proper
fasteners.
`Only use on level, even surfaces. Erect scaffold unit plumb, with platform(s)
level. Avoid using scaffold on surfaces that are soft, muddy, debris lled, holey or
otherwise obstructed.
`Refrain from using scaffolding if you are unwell, taking medication, consuming
alcohol, mind-altering drugs or experiencing any other condition that may impair
your ability to work.
`Two side rails must be installed on each set of two frames, at the same height
setting such that platform is mounted level. Scaffold collapse is possible with
uneven placement and could result in injury or death.
`Casters must always be secured with span pins and caster brakes must be locked
before climbing or standing on scaffolding.
`Do not use any scaffolding component that is damaged or if parts are missing.
`Follow manufacturer instructions assembling scaffold unit. Do not skip steps and
make certain all connections are secured.
`Caster brakes should be applied for entirety of setup and use. Casters should only
be unlocked to move scaffold, never with personnel, equipment or materials on
the unit.
`Double check all connections before climbing unit to make certain they are
properly secured. This includes siderails, casters and walkboard platform. If utilizing
accessories, check they are secured according to manufacturer instructions.
`Make sure walkboard is properly seated between siderails with triple-lock fully
engaged before using scaffolding.
`Siderail locking mechanism should not be bent or otherwise compromised. Make
certain both protruding ends penetrate the frames at all points of connection.
Additionally, secure with span pins prior to use.
`Check integrity of plywood deck and all its components for damage, deterioration,
and that it is not otherwise compromised in any way prior to use. Never use a
platform compromised in any way.
During Use
`Keep body as close to ladder as possible when climbing. This helps prevent
tipping.
`Keep body centered inside structure of scaffold to avoid tipping.
`Climb unit methodically, centered on the ladder frame. Maintain a constant rm
grip while climbing scaffold. Always maintain three points of contact.
`Keep scaffold free of clutter and unnecessary equipment to avoid tripping while
in use.
`If any part or scaffolding component becomes damaged during use, it should not
be used. It should be removed immediately from the work area and replaced. This
includes exposure to heat, acids, or otherwise corrosive materials, excessive loads,
or improper treatment.
`Acids are corrosive and exposure diminishes the integrity of scaffold unit. Do not
expose to corrosive materials.
`Remove all tools, material, and equipment before moving scaffolding. Never move
scaffold while a person is on unit. Be careful when moving unit to avoid tipping.
`To maintain warranty, use only ScaffoldMart parts with this unit.
`Only use ScaffoldMart jacks to adjust height of leg of frame. Never attach any
other material to extend leg of unit. Do not increase height of scaffold units by any
means other than utilizing manufacturer parts designed for that purpose.
`Keep scaffold free of clutter and unnecessary equipment to avoid tripping while
in use.
`This product should be stored inside, out of the elements and away from excessive
heat or corrosive materials. Rust and other forms of corrosion or deterioration
compromise the structural integrity of the scaffold and should be avoided. Do not
use scaffold if structure is compromised in any way.
`Move scaffold carefully, and only over hard and level surfaces. Apply even pressure
to move the scaffold. Avoid excessive force or jerky movements to avoid tipping
conditions.
`This unit and it’s associated accessories can be used in conjunction with other
manufacturerunits,butthisisstronglydiscouraged.Warrantydoesnotapplytofaults
that may occur when used in conjunction with alternate brands or manufacturers.

Exceeding 71” Conguration Notice: This scaffolding unit has a maximum setting of 79 inches. If setting deck of single scaffold unit higher than 71 inches, load capacity is reduced to 250 pounds.
Additionally - guardrails, outriggers and rail clamps from our stability kit and extra span pins must be in use whenever a fall of 72 inches or higher may occur. Load capacity is reduced when stacking units.
Exceeding 71”
`On any side of work platform where a fall of 72” or greater may occur, guardrails
must be in use.
`Whenever a fall of 72“ or higher may occur, a set of outriggers must be in use.
`When exceeding 71” standing height with single 6’ Multifunction Unit, Side-Rail Cuff
Clamps and extra span pins must be in use.
`6’ Multifunction unit is not to be stacked more than three units high.
`Before stacking scaffold units, a set of four outriggers with casters must be securely
installed on the base section of scaffolding and guardrails must be in use.
`Always secure guardrail system to the scaffold using span pin.
`Only extend length of scaffold frame legs with manufacturer approved equipment
designed for this purpose.
DO NOTS
`Never use anything other than manufacturer approved equipment to extend the
dimensions of scaffolding unit.
`Never use powered devices to propel this scaffold unit.
`Never stack on loose materials, boxes, or any other non-approved foundation.
`Never move scaffold with living things on or under unit.
`Never use scaffold in windy conditions or during inclement weather.
`Never use scaffold on unlevel surfaces.
`Never stack more than three units.
`Never adjust height of unit with any load upon the scaffolding. Unload entirely
before adjusting height.
`Never use if walkboard is compromised. Check the condition of the wood deck prior
to use to make sure no damage or deterioration has occurred. It is advisable to
occasionally coat the wooden deck with preservative. Do not paint the surface of
walkboard, or apply any other substance that may leave it sticky or slippery.
`Never allow slippery materials, including but not limited to grease and other oily
compounds to accumulate on ladder rungs or walk board.
`Never attempt to repair any part of the scaffolding unit. If parts are compromised,
they should be removed from use immediately. Manufacturer replacements are
available.
`Never climb unit until all casters are locked.
`Never use casters on stairs, locked or otherwise.
`Never climb scaffold unit facing away from ladder frames. Always face toward the
ladder frame when climbing.
`Never enter scaffolding between ladder rungs, always climb over ladder to enter
the scaffold unit.
`Nevermove scaffold whileloadedwith anything, personnel,equipmentor materials.
`Never use in proximity to powered heavy equipment.
`Never modify scaffolding in any way. Altering the scaffolding unit voids it’s warranty.

Take inventory of box contents. Make certain all listed contents are
present before beginning assembly.
Begin by inserting casters into the bottom of the end frames. The
holes in the casters stem must align with those in the frame. Insert
span pin through frame and stem, securing the wire on the opposite
side. Lock caster brakes before proceeding.
On each end of the siderails are brackets for securing to end frames.
These feature locking mechanisms with pull handles. Pull handles
and apply brackets around end frames at desired height.
With siderails at desired height, release locking pins making certain
they secure the siderail by extending through the adjustment holes
in the frame. You will know pull handle is seated properly when dowel
pins on pull handle contact metal plates closest to the frame. If
contact is not made, pull handle is not seated properly and should be
adjusted before use.
Repeat this process at all four corners of the unit where end frame
and siderails meet. Make certain the rails are level, with all four
corners installed at the same height. Secure the siderails by applying
included span pins through the siderails and end frames before
proceeding. Span pins should be inserted through uppermost hole in
siderail, as shown in illustration.
Next apply the walkboard. First make certain the triple-locking
mechanism is turned toward the outside of the unit so that walk
board can t between the siderails.
Seat walkboard between safety rails. The platform has two holes
drilled through it’s deck that align with small guide dowels in the
siderails. Both dowels must be seated inside these guide holes and
deck must be level.
Turn the triple locking mechanism back toward the inside of the unit,
seated in the depression on the surface of the walk board so that the
top of the lock is level with the surface of the walk board.

CONFIGURATION
PLAY VIDEO
Our 6’ multifunction unit’s siderails can be inverted to allow for
a lower minimum setting. To accomplish this, the triple-locking
mechanism must also be inverted.
First remove the triple-locking mechanism. Begin by turning the lock
so its dowel pins are parallel with the slots in the rail, so they don’t
impede removal. Compress the spring on the lock down and away
from the top, exposing the narrow portion.
Align the narrow portion with the upper slot in the rail and slide the
top of the lock toward the larger opening. Once there, pull the entire
lock up and out of the side rail.
With lock removed, invert the siderails and reapply the locks by doing
the same in reverse. Insert the locks diagonally through the large
hole, with dowel pins and slot in parallel. Seat the lower portion of the
lock in the small hole with its dowel pin below the slot. Compress the
spring away from the top of the lock, align its neck with the slot and
slide the top towards the small hole. Once there, release spring and
turn the lock so dowel pins and slot are perpendicular, securing the
lock in place.
Once the triple-locking mechanisms have been moved, assembling
unit in inverted conguration follows the same procedure as the
standard conguration, except the rails are applied upside down.

Apply the siderails at the two highest adjustment holes in the end
frames. Follow the same procedure as normal installation. Pull
handles, apply bracket, then release handles to allow dowels to
penetrate the siderail and end frame. Reference page four of this
manual for clarication.
Four Siderail Cuff Clamps from our Stability Kit are required to use
above 71 inches. One on each corner.. Position rail clamp mid-way up
the siderail brackets, applied so the pressure pushes the end frame
into the siderail. Turn knob until hand tight, then a little more. Do not
over tighten.
With platform set at or above 6 ft each corner should utilize two
span pins. One positioned between the dowels of the u-lock and the
additional span pins included with rail clamps at the lowermost hole
on the side rail brackets.
