11. Stand on the ladder and place the 7-rung frames (part B) and lock them [F6 – F8].
12. Mount two guardrail braces stepladder (part L) from the bottom upwards [F23 – F25].
13. Mount two diagonal braces (part I) crosswise at the platform side [F4 – F5].
14. Mount two horizontal braces (part H) at the platform side [F4 – F5].
15. Place the rolling-tower ladder. (part M)
16. Place a platform without trapdoor (part F) [F19 – F22].
Repeat Steps 11 through 16 until you achieve the required working height.
C
17. Stand on the ladder, place the guardrail frames (part P) and lock them [F6 – F8].
18. Mount two guardrail braces stepladder (part L) from the bottom upwards [F23 – F25].
19. Mount two horizontal braces (part H) at the platform side and one horizontal brace under the top rung of the guardrail frame at the
ladder side [F4 – F5].
20. Mount the horizontal braces (part H)
21. Mount the set of toe boards (part K).
22. Mount the void protection guardrail (part N).
9. Ballast
See Annex T11 for an overview of the total weight of the scaffold and the number of counterweights of 5 kg per wheeled support that
should be used.
10. Moving the rolling tower
The rolling tower may only be moved while observing the following conditions:
1.
Before moving the rolling tower, the height has to be reduced to a maximum of 4.2 metres.
2.
When the rolling tower is moved, persons and/or materials may not remain on the mobile unit.
3.
Beforehand, checks should be made that the environmental factors, such as swinging doors, canopies, pits, automatically functioning
awnings, aboveground electrical cables, traffic and/or passers-by, etc. do not lead to dangerous situations while the scaffold is moved.
4.
In order to move the scaffold, the stabilisers can only be raised to a maximum of 3 cm.
5.
Only move the scaffold manually in a lengthways direction, over a flat, horizontal and sufficiently load-bearing surface.
6.
After moving the rolling tower has to be realigned horizontally using a spirit level.
11. Disassembly of the rolling tower
The scaffold should be disassembled following the instructions for assembly but in reverse order.
12. Inspection, Care and Maintenance
1.
Scaffold parts must be handled and transported with care in order to avoid damage.
2.
Storage should be organised in such a way that only undamaged parts, in the correct amounts, are available for assembly of the scaffold.
3.
Check all moving parts for correct functioning and check that these are not filthy.
4.
Check all parts for damage. Damaged, worn-out or incorrect parts may not be used. Replace these parts only with original Altrex parts. To
prevent accidents, these parts must be mounted in the same way as the part that is replaced. Mounting (fastening) and/or repair are at your
own expense and risk. Altrex shall not be liable for damage resulting from erroneous mounting and/or repair.
5.
Scaffolds for professional use must be inspected periodically by an expert.
6. Production code (YY-WW) can be found: braces, on the tubes; frames, on vertical tube; platforms, on inside of beams; stabilisers, on outer
tube.
