Operating Safety Instructions

Any scaffold that has a platform height over 4.0m must be erected by a licensed scaffolder
Refer to the Assembly drawings attached. Make sure all Users completely understand the correct procedure to erect the Scaffold
if a Scaffold is used on the outside of a building adjustable base plates or stabilizers are required

Ensure that outriggers are used to maintain a height to minimum base width ration or 3:1
Do not stand on the rails or use tool boxes or other items to gain additional height above the platform
The legal working platform height of a free-standing mobile scaffold is determined by three (3) times in height the smallest base dimension i.e.: 10′ x4′ = 12 (3.0×1.2×3.6m). Special conditions apply to scaffolds under 1.2m wide
These Towers may be used higher than stated if tied into a structure in an approved manner
Always secure Scaffolding in an approved manner when exposed to windy or stormy weather
