• that the safety regulations are adhered to,
• that improper use (see Section 1.8), faulty setting up and impermissible operation
are excluded and thus
• ensuring that the equipment is put to its intended use (see Section 1.7) and
• that the scaffold units are operated in accordance with the application conditions
defined in the contract.
1.5 Date of issue
The date of issue of these English assembly and usage instructions is 01 May 2021.

The manufacturer also reserves all further rights, in particular in the case of the
granting of a patent or utility patent registration.
Any infringement of the conditions described above will result in liability for damages!
1.7 Intended use
The scaffold units listed in these assembly and usage instructions may only be used
as scaffolding in accordance with the stipulations of EN 1004 and the overview of
models in these assembly and usage instructions.
1.8 Improper use
Misuse - that is, any use of the scaffold units documented in these assembly and
usage instructions which deviates from that described in Section 1.7 - shall be
deemed improper use as defined by the Product Safety Act.
This also applies to disregard of the listed standards and guidelines listed in these
assembly and usage instructions.

2 Assembly
2.1 Safety regulations
1. Do not stand on the frame of the folding unit! Use only platforms, the rungs
or a climbing aid to climb the scaffold unit.
2. Only undamaged and fault-free original spare parts for the manufacturer's
scaffold system referred to in the inspection certificate may be used.
Before using the scaffold units, all parts must be examined for correct
assembly and functionality.
3. The scaffold units may only be erected vertically on a horizontal and level
subsurface with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
If necessary, insert load-distributing pads under the unit. The surface on
which the scaffold unit is moved must be able to accommodate its weight.
4. Apply the roller brakes before using the scaffold unit.
Release the roller brakes before moving the scaffold unit.
5. Secure the scaffold unit with four stabilisers. When setting up the scaffold
unit against a wall, swing the stabilisers accordingly to prevent tipping.
When setting up the scaffold unit in a corner, secure it with three stabilisers.
6. The scaffold unit may only be moved by hand, in longitudinal or diagonal
direction and on a firm, level surface free of obstacles. The scaffold unit must
not be moved at more than normal walking speed. When moving the scaffold
unit, ensure that it does not touch live cables.
There may be no persons, material or tools on the platform when the
scaffold unit is moved. Avoid collisions.
When moving the scaffold unit, the platform height must not exceed 4 m.
Release the roller brakes before moving the scaffold unit.
7. The stipulations of EN 1004-1 “Mobile work platforms” apply to the structural
safety, erection and use of the aforementioned scaffold units.
8. The scaffold units may only be assembled and used by persons who are
familiar with these assembly and usage instructions.
9. The distance between the platforms must not exceed 2m during assembly
and dismantling.
10.According to EN 1004-1, the maximum platform heights are limited to 8 m
outdoors and 12 m in enclosed spaces.
11.The use of lifting tackle on the scaffold unit is not permitted.
12.For information on the use of ballast weights, stabilisers and stand-off
brackets to warrant stability, see these assembly and usage instructions.

7
en
13.Work on the working platform is only permitted with complete 3-part side
protection, i.e. guard-rail frames, knee protection and peripheral toeboards.
Toeboards are not necessary on the rest platforms.
14.When setting up the scaffold unit against a wall, stand-off brackets can also
be used in addition to ballast (accessory, Order No. 42920).
15.Working on several working platforms simultaneously is not permitted.
16.The permissible load capacity of the scaffold unit with evenly-distributed load
is 2.0 kN/ m² (in accordance with EN 1004-1 – scaffolding category 3).
17.Moving the scaffold unit with the assistance of vehicles (e.g. fork lifts) is
prohibited. The scaffold unit must not be lifted, pulled or pushed using a
forklift.
18.Bridging the gap between scaffold units and buildings by means of planks
etc. is not permitted.
The scaffold unit must not be used as a stair tower to reach other
constructions.
19.For use outdoors or in open buildings, the scaffold unit must be moved into a
wind-protected area where wind strengths exceed 6 (on the Beaufort scale),
in the case of an oncoming storm and when work has been completed,
or it must be protected against tipping with other suitable measures
(e.g.anchoring). At wind strengths exceeding 6 on the Beaufort scale (12m/s),
it becomes perceptibly difficult to walk forwards.
20.Before using the scaffold unit, its vertical alignment must be checked and
corrected if necessary.
21.The scaffold unit must be checked for correct and complete set-up.
22.The scaffold unit must not be used during lightning and thunderstorms.
23.Mobile work platforms must not be used as roof-edge protection.
2.2 Usage regulations
24.Personnel must ascend to work platforms from the inside only. Ascending
from the outside is only permitted up to platform heights of 2 m.
25.Personnel must not brace themselves against the side panels while working.
26.Jumping on the platforms is prohibited.
27.The generation of horizontal loads which could cause the scaffold unit to tip
over, for example through work on adjacent constructions, is prohibited.
28.Particular attention must be paid to wind conditions which might cause the
scaffold unit to tip over when it is used in buildings open to the passage of
wind, in uncovered buildings or at the corners of buildings.

29.The platform height must not be increased with the aid of ladders, crates or
other devices.
30.Tools and materials may only be handed upwards. Always take the weight
of tools and materials into consideration to avoid overloading the work
platform.
The person handing the load upwards must not let go of it until the person
receiving it has a firm hold on it.
31.Scaffold units with swivel castors can be wheeled to their final location after
assembly. The floor/ground gradient must not exceed 3%. Avoid collisions.
When the scaffold unit is in its final position, the alignment must be checked
again.
32.When moving the scaffold unit, always take care that it does not touch any
live equipment.
33.Electrical tools (drills etc.) may only be operated on the scaffold unit at Safety
Extra Low Voltage (48 V), with protective insulation (separation transformer)
or if they are connected with a ground fault circuit interrupter with a residual
current of 30 mA. The stipulations of BGI 594 must be complied with.
34.Tools and materials must be stored on the work platform in such a way that
there is a passageway of 20 cm at the sides of the work platform.
35.The permissible platform load must not be exceeded, regardless of the
number of persons (see “Technical data” on page9).
36.The horizontal load must not exceed 30 kg (e.g. leaning out or working on the
wall side with a hammer drill).
37.During assembly and dismantling the single parts should be handed
upwards and downwards as close as possible to the scaffold unit from level
to level by 2 persons.
38.The mobile work platform can, depending on its size, be assembled and
dismantled by one person, but two persons are recommended.
39.During assembly and dismantling ensure that all persons are secured by
theS-PLUS guardrail.
2.3 Working on electrical equipment with the scaffold unit
The scaffold unit must not be used to perform work on or in the vicinity of
unprotected live equipment unless
• the section of the equipment in question has been disconnected,
• the section of the equipment in question has been secured against being switched
back on,
• the section of the equipment in question has been checked to ensure that it is
notlive,
• the section of the equipment in question has been short-circuited with a
grounding bar and
• the section of the equipment in question has been shielded against adjacent
liveparts.
