Spirit level to adjust the vertical of the tower.
Swivel wheels for transport.

GUIDE FOR SAFE USE.

Put the tower on a solid and flat surface.
Check that the legs are completely inserted in their compartment and fixed by the safety trigger.
Make sure the tower is in a vertical position, check it by viewing the spirit level lo-cated on the base profile. If necessary, adjust its verticality using the outriggers, turning the crank in the appropriate direction.
When used outdoors, place the tower on a solid surface and if necessary secure it against excessive wind force by means of cable ties.
Do not use ladders or support them on the tower.
Be careful with cables, prominent objects etc. located above of the tower.
Do not stay under the load.
Do not move the tower if it is raised or loaded.
Before using the tower, check the condition of the cable. This should be free of cuts and wear. Never use damaged cables.
Never disassemble the winch lever or any element of the winch under no circumstances.
Once the tower is set up in its working position it is recommended the winch lever is locked to prevent any interference with the same.
The minimum load for correct operation is 25 kg.
Do not grease or lubricate the winch brake mechanism.
This lift cannot be used to lift people.

OPERATION.

Place the tower in the work area, on a flat and solid surface.
Extract the legs from their transport supports and insert them in their working posi-tion. Check that they are fully inserted and secured with the locking triggers. Also remove the steel tie rods from the tower for later use, in step 4.11.
Place the aluminium sections that make up the tower on the ground, right in the area towards where the steel trolley tilts (Fig. 4.3). Assemble the aluminium sections according to your need combining the sections to form a single section of 3, 4, 5 or 6 m. Make sure the steel pins are correctly positioned and secured with the “R” clip.
Loosen and remove the two wing nuts and the aluminium section joint bolts with the steel base of the tower (Fig. 4.4.1).
Then tilt the steel carriage and place it in a horizontal position (Fig. 4.4.2).
Join the truss section that you have formed with the aluminium section of the base using the Kuzar taper joint, ensure that the steel pins are correctly positioned and secu-red with the “R” clip.
Place the steel core sling hugging the first aluminium section.
Place it inside the truss, hugging the two lower main tubes and leaving the part open towards the ground (Fig. 4.6).
Next, place the steel cable on the two sheaves of the pulley head making use of the safety triggers (Fig. 4.7).
Now locate the part ‘forwarding’ (4.7.1). Loosen the wing nut and the locking screw the return part (4.7.2) and pass the cable by the pulley (4.7.3), replace the hook with screw and wing nut (4.7.4), then fasten the hook from the ‘return’ to the sling placed in the alu-minium section of the base (Fig. 4.6).
Finally, hold the hook at the end of the power cord. return on the pulley head to the screwed plate that serves as a ring (Fig. 4.7.5).
Turn the winch handle clockwise to collect the cable and begin the process of elevation of the aluminium sections to place the tower in a vertical position. If you have a second operator, he will be able to help push the end of the tower up to make lifting slightly easier and fast (Fig. 4.8).
Once the aluminium sections are upright, secure entire tower replacing the bolts and nut butterfly at the junction of the aluminium section initial with steel base.
Turn the winch handle in the direction
anti-clockwise to release the cable and be able to untie the sling without tension, release the ‘return’ together with the cable and lower it until it can be hooked with the safety tri-gger placed on the iron carriage of the tower. In the unlikely event that the cable broke, the trigger would act to lock the tower.
Using the Kuzar AN accessories that best suit your needs (see Fig. 4.11), hang the truss bridge to the iron carriage of the towers, then secure the accessory by placing the pin in an “L” shape. Fig. 4.11
Turn the winch handle clockwise in both towers at the same time, until the carriage is raised approximately 1.5 m. Then fit the bolted tie rods to the legs and the other end secure it to the tube of the first aluminium section with the steel claw. Re-level the tower if necessary, making use of stabilizers.
Load the truss bridge between two K-10 towers with the products you want using approved Kuzar claws and accessories. Remember that the maximum weight for the K-10 towers it is 500kg, but if you use two towers, the weight is divided, being the total 1000kg (the load does not depend on the height at which the bridge truss is located). Also remember the maximum load that is placed on the truss bridge supports between the towers, will depend on the truss section, the length of the bridge, the thickness and type of aluminium, etc. therefore make use of the load tables that are provided by your truss supplier.
Once the truss bridge is loaded, proceed to raise the towers by turning the crank winch clockwise, rotating at the same time, pausing lifting if necessary to compensate for the height and that the bridge is always in horizontal position, raise to desired height.
To lower the tower, turn the winch handle anticlockwise, pausing the descent if necessary to compensate for the height.
ATTENTION: Kuzar AN accessories are designed to compensate for desynchronization resulting in the raising or lowering of the tower. However, in case of desynchronization take the precaution of compensating the height of the towers until both are located at the same height. Never continue without compensating for height as too large a difference could cause the structure to break or deform.
Once the trolleys have lowered to the lowest position, remove the load and the truss bridge. Then remove the leg braces and lower the trolley to the lowest position again.
Turn the winch handle anticlockwise to release the cable and remove the return hook of the carriage safety trigger, the opposite exercise being that in step 4.10. Place the steel web sling hugging the truss as in the step 4.6 and hook the forwarding to it. Now proceed to unscrew the wing nuts and remove the screws from the joint of the lower aluminium section with the iron base as in step 4.4, in this way the sections will be left free to tilt the tower back to the ground. Turn very slightly the winch handle anticlockwise while tilting the tower.
CAUTION: In this descent process it will be necessary to support weight on the rear legs to compensate for the moment of inertia of the aluminium sections that make up the tower and guard in case of unpredictable stress or external forces a possible expiration of the tower.
Once the tower is placed on the ground, disassemble the aluminium sections and reposition the lower aluminium section together with the trolley in a vertical position steel. 4.19 – Turn the crank of the stabilizers to relieve the pressure and remove the legs from their work housings to place on their located transport brackets at the base of the tower. Insert the tie rods into the lower aluminium sections.
The tower will be ready for transport and storage.

MAINTENANCE.

All cables must be checked regularly. Defective cables must be replaced immediately. Do not use the lift with cables are in poor condition, as it is potentially very dangerous. Use only DIN3060 cables, supplied by an authorized dealer.
The tower is delivered completely greased from the factory. Depending on its mechanical use, it is recommended that the sprockets on the winch and driveshaft and the elevation profiles are periodically greased.
ATTENTION:
Do not grease or lubricate the brake mechanism located inside the plastic cover. The brake discs have been previously greased with a special resistant grease to pressure and heating. To avoid winch brake malfunction, products other than the originals supplied by the company. It is not necessary to grease the brake discs.
Your lifting tower must be inspected at least once a year by an authorized service centre.
