Safety Guide
Read Instructions thoroughly before assemblage. Non-compliance with guidelines may result in serious injury or death.
PRIOR TO USE
- Only use scaffold unit as intended while complying with local, state, and national guidelines and legislation.
- A competent person should manually inspect scaffolding prior to each use, ensuring it is in good working condition and that all parts are present and properly assembled.
- Only use on level, hard, even surfaces. Avoid using scaffold on surfaces that are soft, muddy, debris filled, holey or otherwise obstructed.
- Refrain from using scaffolding if you are unwell, taking medication, consuming alcohol, mind-altering drugs or experiencing any other condition that may impair your ability to work.
- Three platforms should be installed on frame structure prior to use, all set level. Scaffold collapse is possible if both platforms are not set level and could result in injury or death.
- Casters must always be secured with span pins and caster brakes must be locked before climbing or standing on scaffolding.
- Do not use any scaffolding component that is damaged or if parts are missing.
DURING USE
-
Keep body centered inside structure of scaffold to avoid tipping.

Always maintain three points of contact. -
Keep scaffold free of clutter and unnecessary equipment to avoid tripping while in use.
-
If any part of scaffolding unit becomes damaged during use, it should be removed immediately from the work area and replaced.
-
Acids are corrosive and exposure diminishes the integrity of scaffold unit. Do not expose to corrosive materials.

Assembly Instructions
- Unpack box contents on level, hard, unobstructed surface.

- Attach base adaptors to bottom of lower frame structure, securing all four corners with span pins.
- Stand the scaffold unit up and spread its ends away from one another, keeping them in parallel. Unit will tip if ends are not in parallel.
- With unit extended, place platforms at desired heights. Make certain platforms are properly seated and level, with their semi-circular cut-outs snug against the horizontal supports.
- Insert upper frame structures into lower frame structure. Make certain tool shelf turns outward, and that handrail attaches on same side as diagonal supports. Set upper frame structures at the same height and secure all four corners with span pins.
- Install hand rail by first fastening it’s two ends to the center portion. Make certain spring rivets are secure, then install in the vertical tubes of the upper frame structures. Again, make certain spring rivets secure all connections.
