Figure 7.1 and Figure7.2 on page 31.
SETTING UP THE PODIUM
This procedure starts from when the
with castors fitted.
Ensure the castors are unlocked and the wheels are free to turn.
1.
Unfasten the two fabric straps fastened around the legs of the frame assembly
2.
that hold the equipment together and separate the side frames a little at the front.
Lift and withdraw the folded platform and put it to one side.
3.
Unfold the frame assembly and straighten the yellow gate until the gate locks. You
4.
will hear it click-lock. Check that the gate is locked.
Swing the two side frames so they are each at 90 degrees to the yellow gate and
5.
then lock the two castors on the left frame only using your foot to operate the
locking levers on the two castors.
Now move the front of the right hand frame slightly outwards. This helps in placing
6.
the platform location brackets on either RUNG 8 or RUNG 9 according to the
podium height required.
Fully unfold the platform until it is straight. It will lock straight automatically. Ensure
7.
it has locked in this position. The platform has four location brackets fitted one
near each corner on the underside that fit over the rung to hold the platform in
position. The platform can be fitted on either RUNG 9 (for 33cm platform height),
or RUNG 8 (for 61 cm platform height) depending on the height required.
WARNING. When lifting the platform, take care NOT to hold it via the underside
panel as there is a trapdoor in the panel. This will open if you try to support the
weight of the platform at this point.
Support the platform and place the left-hand end on to the required rung on the
8.
left hand frame. Now hold the opposite end of the platform pull the right hand
frame towards the platform and lower the platform onto RUNG 8 or RUNG 9
according to the platform height you have chosen. Ensure the location brackets
are sitting correctly on the chosen rung.
