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denedbytheProductSafetyAct.
This also applies to failure to observe the standards and guidelines listed in these

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. The stipulations of EN 1004 “Mobile work platforms” apply to the structural
safety, erection and use of the aforementioned scaffold units.
3. The scaffold units may only be assembled and used by persons who are
familiar with these assembly and usage instructions.
4. At least two persons are required for the assembly and dismantling of the
scaffold unit. (Applies to all mobile scaffold towers with a platform height
exceeding 2.50 m)
5. Only undamaged and fault-free original spare parts
for the manufacturer's scaffold system referred to in
theinspectioncerticatemaybeused.Beforeusing
the scaffold units, all parts must be examined for
correct assembly and functionality.
6.
max.
12,0 m
max.
8,0 m
In accordance with EN 1004, the maximum platform
heights are limited to 8 m in enclosed spaces and 12 m
outdoors. For the scaffold units described in these
assembly and usage instructions, the maximum
platform height in enclosed spaces is 10 m.
7. The use of lifting tackle on the scaffold unit is not permitted.
8. During assembly and dismantling of the scaffold unit, platforms or scaffold
planks must be laid out completely at a distance of 2 m as assembly aids.
Where scaffold planks are used, they must extend 500 mm beyond the
scaffold unit on each side. Standing on guardrails or braces is prohibited.
This also applies during assembly and dismantling.
9. The scaffold units may only be erected vertically on
ahorizontalandlevelsubsurfacewithsufcientload-
bearing capacity. If necessary, insert load-distributing
pads under the unit.
10.For information on the use of chassis beams, ballast weights, stabilisers
and stand-off brackets to warranty stability, see these assembly and usage
instructions.
11.Work on the working platform is only permitted with complete 3-part
side protection, that is, guard-rail frames, knee protection and peripheral
toeboards. Toeboards are not necessary on the rest platforms.

7
en
12. Stop For wall-side assembly of the scaffold unit, stand-off brackets
can also be used for ballasting (accessory, Order No. 42920).
13.Working on several working platforms simultaneously is not permitted.
14.The permissible load capacity of the scaffold unit with evenly-distributed
load is 2.0 kN/ m² (in accordance with EN 1004 - scaffolding category 3).
15. There may be no persons, material or tools on the
platform when the scaffold unit is moved. Avoid
collisions. The scaffold unit may only be moved by hand,
inlongitudinalordiagonaldirectionandonarm,
level surface free of obstacles. The scaffold unit must
not be moved at more than normal walking speed.
16.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.
17.The surface on which the scaffold unit is moved must be able to
accommodate its weight.
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difcult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.

8
2.2 Usage regulations
1. Personnel must ascend to work platforms from the
inside only.
2. Personnel must not brace themselves against the side panels while working.
3. Jumping on the platforms is prohibited.
4. The generation of horizontal loads which could cause the scaffold unit to tip
over, for example through work on adjacent constructions, is prohibited.
5. 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.
6. The platform height must not be increased with the aid of ladders, crates
or other devices.
7. 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rmholdonit.
8. Scaffoldunitswithswivelcastorscanbewheeledtotheirnallocationafter
assembly.Theoor/groundgradientmustnotexceed3%.Avoidallknocks
andimpacts.Whenthescaffoldunitisinitsnalposition,thealignment
must be checked again.
9. When moving the scaffold unit, always take care that it does not touch any
live equipment.
10.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.
11.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.
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.

2.4 Other applicable safety instructions
The stipulations of DGUV information sheet 201-011 "Instructions for the Handling
of Work Scaffolds and Protection Scaffolds" apply for the inspection, assembly and
use of the scaffold unit.
BGR 165 and BGI 594 "Safety rules for the use of electrical equipment in the case of
increased electrical hazard" apply when using electrical equipment on the scaffold
unit.
