Youngman BoSS Room-Mate User manual

BoSS Room-Mate
3T - Through the Trapdoor Method
Introduction
This BOSS ROOM-MATE User Guide is designed to provide
you with step by step instructions to ensure that your system is
erected with the maximum of ease and safety. Before assembly,
please read this User Guide. If the scaffold is passed on to
another person they should also receive these instructions.
Compliance
All BOSS ROOM-MATE Towers must comply with the general
requirements of the following:
BSEN 1004:2004
Work at Height Regulations 2005
Safety
Check that all the components are available and are functioning
correctly.
Check that the ground is level and capable of supporting the
weight of the structure.
During erection it is recommended that a temporary guardrail
brace be employed.
The safe working load is 275kg per platform uniformly
distributed, 750kg maximum per scaffold structure. This weight
should not be exceeded.
Lifting of equipment (at higher levels)
l Components should be firmly secured by a reliable lifting
material (e.g. rope) employing a reliable knot to ensure safe
fastening.
Movement
The Room-Mate should only be moved by manual effort at the
base.
No personnel or materials should be on the structure during
movements. During use
The BOSS ROOM-MATE is intended mainly for internal use - if
used externally, beware of winds in excess of 17mph (7.7 metres/
second) and cease working on the tower.
Raising and lowering of components should be conducted
within the base of the scaffold.
Beware of horizontal forces that generate in excess of 20 kg.
Preparation and Inspection
Inspect the equipment before use, to ensure that it is free from
damage and functions properly. Ensure you are using the correct
PPE equipment for the application on which you are working.

Assembly
When erecting a BoSS Room-Mate:
To comply with the Work at Height Regulations, guardrails are
positioned in advance of climbing onto a platform to reduce the
risk of a fall.
All platforms feature double guardrails on both faces of the
tower.
All guardrails should be 2 and 4 rungs (0.5m and 1.0m) above
platforms.
Position handrails 4 rungs above platform level.
Position intermediate handrails 2 rungs above platform level.
Never stand on an unguarded platform
positioned above the second rung of
a tower. If your risk assessment shows
it necessary you may also need to
guardrail platforms at this level.
To dismantle a BoSS Room-Mate:
Remove toeboards, and pass down the tower.
Unclip farthest end of braces and immediately go to protected
trapdoor position on ladder to complete removal.
Remove upper platforms from protected platform levels below.
Pass removed components out of the tower to a colleague.
0.8m Platform Height
Insert castor into adaptor or adjustable
leg and then into base of frame.
Unfold base unit, insert locking pin.
Lock castors and level base.
Insert deck on 3rd rung of tower.
Fit horizontal braces (red) as guardrails,
on the 5th and 7th rungs.
The Tower is now complete.
