SET UP

1. Select two clear, straight-grained   fir wood 2×4’s (1-1/2” x 3-1/2”)  free from all knots or defects.
   Nail together with 10d common nails 12” center to center, staggered uniformly from opposite edges. Splices may be used to extend the pole to a maximum of 30 feet. The 2×4’s must overlap a minimum of 3 feet and nails should be spaced a minimum of 6” center to center for a distance of 18 inches on each side of the splice. Mending plates shall be installed at all splices so as to develop the full strength of the member. Countersink all nails. Loosen wing nut (A) on Pump Jack Brace. Slide clamps over wood pole so that seam faces the carriage bolt and tighten at desired height. Nail clamps to Pump Pole.
   

2. Stand pump pole up vertically, imbed base in dirt about 2 3”-4”. Be sure pole is bearing on a firm foundation (mud sill), or use Pump Jack Pole Anchor. (Pump Jack pole must be braced at top, bottom and every A 10’). Attach pump pole brace to work wall with nails or screws. Round Rod (B) attaches at right angle to wall and angle iron
   brace (C) attaches 32” to right or left, enabling installation on  studs 16” apart. Poles should be secured to wall a maximum of  every 10 feet in height.
   To determine appropriate spacing between poles see section on
   “CHOOSING A WALK PLANK”

3. Attach the pump jack to the pole with the bed facing the work wall, by removing pin and roller (D) crank (E) square rod (F). Place the pump jack over the pole and reconnect parts.
   Open pump jack bed to full extended length and place planks on bed, thus completing staging. Be sure that the platform is fully decked and the planking secured against movement. Install guard rails in accordance with OSHA regulations. The Guard Rail Holder should be used to assist in this installation.

TO OPERATE

TO RAISE PUMP JACK

Stand on walk plank with the jack and pole in front of you. Lock the crank (A) by sliding the crank handle to the right or left until square rod is in square hole. Place right foot in stirrup (B) and pump slowly until platform is raised approximately 1 foot. Repeat this procedure on the other pump jack.
IMPORTANT – Raise Stirrup to “Up” Position (C) when desired height is reached.

TO LOWER PUMP JACK

Be sure stirrup (A) is in the “Up” position. Unlock Crank (B) by sliding handle to the right or left until it turns freely. (If crank seems jammed, depress stirrup about 3” and return to “Up” position. This will free crank for easy unlocking.) Place left foot on the square key (C) of lower lock. Press foot down and hold lock open. Turn Crank (B) in a clockwise direction to lower staging approximately 1 foot and lock crank. Repeat this procedure on the other Pump Jack.

TO PASS A PUMP POLE BRACE

An extra Pole Brace is to be installed approximately 4 feet above the Pole Brace to be passed. Remove nails from clamp of Pump Pole Brace. Remove the wing nut and carriage bolt. Separate plates and let the brace swing down against the work wall. Do not remove Pump Jack Brace from wall. After the Pole Brace has been passed, reconnect it to the Pole and remove the extra Pole Brace.
