3.5 Required tools
– Spirit level
Assembly
4.1 General
The mobile scaffold tower must only be assembled once the personnel involved
have read the product information (section 2) and safety instructions (section
3) in full. Assembling and disassembling the tower requires at least 2
persons.
Mobile scaffold towers with a height in excess of 6 metres require 3 persons
to assemble. Only use original parts in compliance with the manufacturer‘s
instructions.
Pages 112 and 113 contain a table with the individual steps for assembling the
scaffold. Please note that certain steps may have to be repeated multiple
times. For this reason, please make sure to perform all of the individual
steps shown for your scaffold, which will depend on your scaffold’s height. A
detailed explanation of the individual steps can be found from section 12
onwards.
*If you are planning to build low even working-height platforms (e.g. 6.70 m) with the packages for odd workingheight platforms (e.g. 7.70 m), you will need 1 additional diagonal braces Art. no. 912879
INFORMATION ON USING THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Assembly Instructions describe how to assemble the Pro Tec® XS 1000 mobile
scaffold tower in a number of different configurations. Please read the entire
assembly instructions before assembly and take note of the differences between
the different assembly options. Depending on the height of the topmost
working platform, the mobile scaffold tower will either have to be fitted with
ballast weights (page 124). Please read the corresponding information in this
manual.
4.2 Fitting the set of stabilisers
If using the mobile scaffold tower on a wall, it can be prevented from tipping
over by fitting it with a set of stabilisers. The use of stabilisers does in
no way remove the need for the required ballast weights and outriggers. When
using stabilisers, always fit at least two stabilisers directly below the
topmost working platform (see drawing page 129). Always use ring bolts to
fasten the device to the wall.
4.3 Attaching ballast to the mobile scaffold tower
Mobile scaffold towers have to be weighed down by placing ballast weights on
top of the base rails to ensure the tower‘s stability. The number of ballast
weights depends on the height of the mobile scaffolds (mobile working
platforms) and can be found in the corresponding tables on page 128.
4.4 After assembly or modification of the mobile scaffold tower‘s
configuration
The tower has to be fitted with a sign that is visible from the ground and
contains the following minimum information:
– Name and contact details of the person in charge of the site
– Whether or not the mobile scaffold tower is ready for use or not
– The load class and maximum distributed load
– Whether the mobile scaffold tower is only designed for use in closed indoor
spaces
– The date the tower was erected
Disassembling the mobile scaffold tower
The mobile scaffold tower has to be disassembled in reverse order of the relevant assembly instructions.
Inspection, care and maintenance
All of the tower‘s parts must be checked for damage before setting it up and
any damaged parts must be replaced.
Damaged parts must only be repaired by the manufacturer. Only use original
spare parts.
Visually inspect the tower to make sure that all of the welds and other
materials are free from cracks, and that none of the parts are bent or dented.
Make sure that parts such as locks, spindles, castors etc. are in proper
working order.
The following components always have to be checked every time before
assembling the tower:
- Vertical frame and base sections with castors: check for deformations, dents and cracks
- Diagonal braces and guardrails: check for deformation, dents, cracks and whether the locks work
- Working platforms: check for deformation, dents, cracks and whether the locks work
- Hatch: make sure hatch works
- Toe boards: condition of wood, cracks
- Swivel castors: castors’ ease of movement and brakes’ effectiveness in stopping the castors from rolling and rotating.
- In adjustable castors, check the spindles’ ease of movement. Check safety locks (locking pins, wing screws) on the vertical frame and base sections with castors
- Retainers: check for deformation, dents, cracks and secure fit
- The tower‘s components have to be stored in such a way that they cannot become damaged.
- The individual parts have to be stored lying down and protected from weather.
- Components have to be positioned and protected in such a way during transport that they cannot become damaged.
- The tower components can be cleaned using water and conventional cleaning agents. Any paints spilled on the components can be removed with white spirit.
