Lock Indicator Buttons
The red and yellow buttons are used to show that the lock
mechanisms are engaged or not when erecting the Tower.
At all height settings, the yellow buttons should always be
in the locked position i.e. guard rails should be in place, see
page 8. At the 2 metre height setting, all
yellow and red buttons should be in their locked position.
The locking mechanism of a rung is situated at each end of
the rung immediately below it.
As a rung is lifted, it automatically locks to the frame when
it is in the correct position. When this happens an audible
‘click’ will be heard. At the same time the red or yellow buttons on the rung
immediately below the one being lifted will move to the locked position, see the
example shown right.
Red buttons
The red buttons on the rungs are used to release the locking mechanism during the
time the Tower is being collapsed. There is a red release-button located near
each end of the rungs labelled RUNG 4, RUNG 5, RUNG 6 and RUNG 7. When a
button is activated by sliding it away from the end of the rung, the locking pin at this
position is retracted which allows the rung immediately above (and any rungs and
or structures above this) to move downwards.
Yellow buttons
The yellow buttons act in the same way as the red buttons and are used during the
time the Tower is being collapsed. The yellow release-buttons are located at
each end of RUNG 2 and RUNG 3. These buttons allow the erected safety cage to
be collapsed.
Castors/Stabalisers
A stabiliser leg is an integral part of each castor. In addition to providing a larger
more stabilized foot print, the stabilisers are used to allow the Tower to be used on
an uneven surfaces.
The stabiliser can be rotated through 270 degrees.
It can be locked in one of five positions set at 45
degree intervals.
The castors and adjustable stabiliser legs are
supplied as a single item.

Fitting the castors
To fit the castors carry out the following:
1. Carefully lay the fully collapsed main assembly (without platform) in a horizontal
position on the floor or on a bench.
2. Take a castor/stabiliser leg and slide the castor shaft into position on the main
assembly.
3. Push the red button on RUNG 9 away from the castor and push the castor shaft
fully in and rotate until the castor is adjacent to rung 9.
4. Release the button and if necessary rotate it a little further until you hear the
lock-pin click into place, which locks the stabiliser in this position.
5. Push down on the stabiliser release lever and lift the stabiliser foot until it is fully
retracted, and then release the lever. This will allow the stabiliser leg to be clear
of the ground when the main assembly is returned to its upright position.
6. Repeat for the other castors and return the Tower to its upright position.
Deploying the Ground Stabiliser Legs
The ground stabiliser legs should be deployed when the Tower has been fully
erected at the required platform height.
1. To move it into place, unlock the castors and push it to the working position.
2. Lock the castors by pushing down on the locking lever with your foot.
3. Slide the red button closest to the ground stabiliser towards the centre of
RUNG 9 and rotate the stabiliser until it is near the required position. Release the
button and rotate a little further either way until you hear the locking mechanism
click in.
4. Deploy a ground stabiliser foot by pressing down on the Adjuster until the foot is
in contact with the surface. Turn the adjuster to tighten it to be in good contact
with the ground. Repeat for the other ground stabilisers as required or allowed.
5. Check that the castors and ground stabiliser legs are secure and locked before
using the Tower.

2. Release the two fabric straps fastened around the legs of the assembly that
hold the two frames together.
3. While keeping the frames together at the back,
push the front legs slightly apart as shown in
Figure 1.2.
4. Lift and withdraw the folded platform and put it
to one side.
5. Unfold the Tower and straighten the yellow gate
keeping the side frames parallel until the gate
locks. You will hear it click-lock. Check that the
gate is locked.
6. Swing the two side frames so they are each at
90 degrees to the gate and then lock the four
castors by using your foot to push the locking
lever down on all four castors.

Lifting
1. Hold both ends of RUNG 1 (Figure 1.3) and place one foot on RUNG 9. Lift
RUNG 1 until it locks in place. A click will be heard when it locks and the yellow
buttons on RUNG 2 should then be in the locked position. This has lifted the
hand guardrail, see Figure 1.3.
2. Now hold both ends of RUNG 2. Place one foot on RUNG 9 and lift RUNG 2 until
it locks in place, Figure 1.4. This is indicated by the yellow but tons on RUNG 3
being in the locked position. This has lifted the hand and knee guard rails into
position, see Figure 1.4.
3. Repeat steps (1) and (2) on the opposite frame of the Tower.
Note. There is a pair of hand rails and a pair of knee-rails on the left and right
frames of the Tower. The lower part of each pair comprises a side rail, RUNG 1 and
RUNG 2 (xed), and the upper parts, adjustable hand-rail and adjustable knee-rail
(movable). The latter is the front rail or the rear rail (rear on the left frame, front on
the right frame).

Step 4: Deploying the Platform Stabilisers
14
The platform is equipped with four platform stabilisers (braces) which are stowed
on the underside of the platform, see Figure 4.1.
Warning
The platform stabilisers MUST be deployed when the platform working height is at
or greater than 1.50 metres.
Press the release button at the far end of the stabiliser and pull back on the yellow
lever to release it from the stowage bracket. The stabilisers are hinged centrally on
the platform and when deployed anchor to brackets on the inner face of RUNGS 5,
6 & 7.
The stabilisers are telescopic in construction and adjustable to three different
lengths to suit the three platform heights that require platform stabilisers to be used.
The free end has a spring self-locking slot, see Figure 4.2.
There is a spring-loaded ball locking mechanism which holds the stabiliser at any
of the three preset extensions. The stabiliser has a viewing window in its side that
lets you easily adjust it to the correct length using a colour coded system. The
brackets are also coloured, see Figure 4.3.

• For a 2.00 metre platform height use the red
coloured bracket with the stabiliser extended to
show red in the viewing window.
• For 1.75 metre platform height use the yellow
coloured bracket with the stabiliser extended to
show yellow in the viewing window.
• For a 1.50 metre platform height use the blue
coloured bracket with the stabiliser extended to
show blue in the viewing window.
When the Tower has been erected to the required
height, and the platform fitted, extend a platform
stabiliser until the required colour is seen in the
viewing window on the side of the stabiliser. This
should be the same as the colour of the bracket
it is to connect to. At this time you will hear a click
that indicates the stabiliser is locked at the required
length.
Figure 4.4 and Figure 4.5 shows an example of
a platform stabiliser deployed when the platform
height is 1.75 metres.
The correct bracket is always two rungs below the
platform. Firmly push the
stabiliser end onto the bracket. Check that it has
locked. Repeat for the other three stabilisers.
Releasing the Stabalisers
To release a platform stabiliser, press the yellow
lever on the end of the stabiliser and lift the end off
the bracket. The locking ball bearing will be pro-
truding since the stabiliser will be extended and locked. Depress the protruding ball
bearing on the underside of the stabiliser and retract the stabiliser when preparing
to stow it. This action may need to be repeated according to how far the stabiliser
was extended. Return the stabiliser to its stowed position and pull the yellow lever
towards the stowage bracket until a click is heard from the pivoted end as it is
locked under the stowage bracket. Repeat for the other stabilisers.

Step 5: Setting the Platform Height
16
Decide upon the platform height you require. This is important since the next stage
varies according to the required platform height.
Warning
Although it is possible to erect the Tower with the platform in situ, it is strongly
recommended that the platform is ALWAYS fitted when the Tower is at the required
height.
Warning
The platform must ALWAYS be removed prior to lowering the Tower.
Warning
When you wish to change from one platform height to another, you are
recommended to remove the platform, lower the Tower until the platform height is
at 1.00 metre and then follow the procedure to erect it to the height required.
• For a platform height of 1.00 metre, follow the procedure on page 17.
• For a platform height of 1.25 metre, follow the procedure on page 18.
• For a platform height of 1.50 metre, follow the procedure on page 19.
• For a platform height of 1.75 metre, follow the procedure on page 21.
• For a platform height of 2.00 metre, follow the procedure on page 23.
