METAL CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY:
Do not use this equipment where contact may be made with power lines or other live electrical circuits.
DO NOT OVERLOAD:
This scaffolding is designed to support a maximum load of 1,000 lb (454 kg). The maximum load capacity decreases
when stacking units: one unit high = 1,000 lb (454 kg) / two units high = 878 lb (398 kg) / two units high with
guardrails = 835 lb (379 kg).
OPERATION AND SAFETY
Do not use this equipment if you are in poor health, taking medications,
drugs, or have been consuming alcohol, all of which may impair your
ability to work safely on this product.
Always use a scaffold in conformity with local or national legislation

Never stack more than two units.
Always lock coupling pins to stacked units.
Always use outriggers, coupling pins and guardrails when stacking units.
Inspect before use. Do not use scaffold if damaged or parts are missing.
Examine thoroughly to make sure unit is properly set up.
Before scaffold units are to be stacked, a set of (4) Outriggers with
casters shall be installed on the base section of scaffolding. The casters
must be the same size as the casters in the base scaffold.
Outrigger must be flush against scaffold leg and caster must be in
contact with the surface.
Guardrails must be installed on all open sides of a work platform where
a person could fall from a height of 6 ft (1.8 m) or more.
Always fasten the guardrails system to the structure using pigtails.
Guardrails must be installed so that access door swings inward
over platform.
Always lock all access doors using door latches, even if the scaffold
is in use or not.
Always use outriggers secured to the structure with the locking pins.
Always use casters locked to the structure with the locking pins.
