Model No. SSCL4
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Take care when using and moving scaffolding,
extended ladders and other such equipment in the vicinity
of power cables - risk of potentially fatal electric shock.
WARNING! Ensure Health and Safety, local authority, and
general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when
using this equipment.
3Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the
scaffold, as well as the potential hazards.
3Maintain the equipment in good condition.
7DO NOT use the equipment if any parts are damaged or missing
as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
3Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
3Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and ensure there is
adequate lighting.
WARNING! Use scaffold on level and solid ground and ensure
the brakes are applied and/or that the scaffold is anchored and
held firmly in place by some means.
WARNING! DO NOT erect or use the scaffolding on sloping or
unstable ground.
WARNING! Never over-reach when on the scaffolding.
3Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working
area.
7DO NOT use the scaffolding for any purpose other than that for
which it is designed.
7DO NOT allow children to climb the scaffolding.
7DO NOT use the equipment when you are tired, under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
3When not in use store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
7DO NOT use the equipment without side guardrails, knee rails
and toeboards fitted. Use all the components supplied.
3When used outside, mobile scaffold towers should, wherever
possible, be secured to a building or other reliable structure.
3It is good practice to tie in all scaffold towers of any height,
especially when left unattended or in exposed windy conditions.
Use only the recommended wall anchors.
3Beware of strong wind conditions. Do not erect or use a
freestanding tower if the wind is likely to exceed 7.7 m/sec
(17mph or Beaufort force 4).
3Take care when using mobile scaffold towers in hangers or
uncovered buildings as windforce may be increased due to
funnelling effects.
7DO NOT climb a tower from the outside. Never climb on the
horizontal or diagonal braces. You should only climb the tower on
the inside using the ladder end frames.
7DO NOT lean ladders against the tower. Never use ladders or
boxes to gain additional height.
3Ensure that all personnel, tools and materials are removed from
the tower prior to moving it. Only move the scaffold tower
manually on a firm level surface, which is free of any obstacles.
Only move it longitudinally or diagonally. Do not exceed normal
walking speed. Raise the stabilisers 12 mm (½”) from the ground.
After moving re-lock the castors, check that the tower is level
and ensure that the stabilisers are secure and have a firm footing.
7DO NOT exceed the safe working load of the platform. The
maximum capacity of the working platform for an evenly
distributed load is 1.5 kN/m² (according to HD1004 – scaffold
tower Class 2)
7DO NOT jump on to or off the platforms.
7DO NOT use any lifting equipment on the mobile scaffold tower.

7DO NOT bridge between the mobile scaffold tower and buildings.
3Stabilisers and ballast weights shall always be fitted where
specified. Ballast is used at the base to stabilise towers from
overturning. Ballast must be of solid material (i.e. NOT water or
loose sand) and should be positioned so as not to overload
individual legs. Ballast should be secured from accidental removal.
3Keep equipment clean and inspect before and after use for
damage. Use serviceable equipment only. All working parts e.g.
castors, adjustable legs; stabiliser clamps should be lubricated
lightly with oil. Repairs should only be carried out by the supplier
or other competent person approved by the supplier.

5. ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The mobile scaffold tower may only be assembled, used
and dismantled by persons familiar with these Assembly and Use
Instructions.
NOTE: These instructions show the assembly of SSCL1 +
SSCL3 + SSCL4 from scratch. If you already have SSCLI +
SSCL3 assembled it will be necessary to partly disassemble
some of the upper parts so that it resembles diagram No.8 above.
The parts removed will be reused in the assembly of the
extended tower.
5.1 Open folding base A and insert the locking pin in the centre of
the folding section. Place diagonal B on one side on the first rung
and on the 4th rung on the other side. Make sure that the
butterfly locking part is completely rotated to hold the diagonal
firmly in position.
5.2 Place horizontal brace C on the first rung and lock in position.
5.3 Take 2 of the 6 rung end frames, F and 3 diagonals B. Position a
diagonal on the topmost rung of one frame and the second
diagonal on the same frame on the second rung on the other
side. The last diagonal is to be placed on the top rung of the
second end frame (WARNING : Make sure that everything is
the right way round as per the sketch!)
5.4 Before climbing within the frame, lock the wheels. Position
the end frames on to the folding base and lock the lower diagonal
B to the 5th rung of the base frame. Make sure that the butterfly
locking part is completely rotated to hold the diagonal firmly in
position. Put the 4 locking pins in place.
5.5 Position the 4 stabiliser legs G as per the heights indicated on
the sketch. Tighten firmly at the correct angle as shown above.
Note: Not all stabiliser legs illustrated.
5.6 Position platform H on the 5th rung from the bottom.
5.7 Climb through the trapdoor, sit on the edge and position the two
horizontal braces C on the 7th rung from the bottom and the 2
braces C on the 9th rung. Lock the snaplocks firmly in position.
5.8 Stand up on the platform and fix the 2 diagonals B hanging from
the frames into position.
