5. MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check cable status. If the cable
seems to have broken wires or crushing,
replace immediately with a new one. Never
use the ground support tower with cables
in bad conditions. Only use galvanized
steel under EN 12385-4. Cable maximum
load: 2.000kg. Cable torsion resistance:
1.770N/mm². Cable diameter: 6mm. Cable
composition: 6x19+1.
2. The ground support tower is supplied
fully greased from factory. Nevertheless, the
crown gear of the winch, to the threaded bar
of the stabiliser outriggers and the profiles,
because of its use periodical greasing is
recommended.
WARNING:
DO NOT GREASE OR LUBRICATE
BRAKING MECHANISM
Braking disks were greased with a special
heat and pressure resistant grease. No other
product must be used to prevent negative
influence on brake functioning.
3. Ground support tower TRC-700, must be
checked by an expert a minimum of once a
year as per its use.
4. Only original spare parts must be used to
ensure continued safe use. The user loses all
guarantee rights if spare parts other than the
originals are incorporated or the product is
modified in any way.
5. To request any spare part, contact the
manufacturer or an authorised distributor
within your territory.

6. SPECIFIC RISKS
Braking system failure
May occur due to braking system deficiencies
or bad installation. If it stops working it could
cause a serious risk due to the raised load
being out of control and may injure users or
hit materials next to the tower.
Loss of stability
If the tower is placed on a sloping ground or
a surface that is not completely flat, there is a
risk of losing stability which would lead to a
90º overturn with risk of serious injuries for
workers.
Objects dropping to a different level
As an elevation equipment and due to its
working height, there is a serious risk of
raised objects dropping to a different level,
either due to securing mechanism failure,
part wear, dirt, etc., or incorrect use of the
ground support tower (E.g.: for goods over
the maximum load allowed). Sudden drop
of raised goods implies a serious risk for the
worker.
Knocks and/or contusions due to objects
This risk only occasionally causes an accident
to the worker running the operation due to
his location during the elevation process; the
risk of knocks from a raised element is more
likely to affect people walking by or whose
workplace is next to the ground support
tower.
Its origin may be due to a loss of stability,
malfunctioning of structural elements, safety
systems, securing systems, etc.
7. PREVENTION SYSTEMS
About braking system failure
Equip with winch according to BGV D8 y 2006/42 CE directive.
About loss of stability
Maintenance of ground support tower stability must basically be as per the following measures:
• Professionalization, training and risk awareness of ground support tower users.
• Equip with different safety devices and advices from the manufacturer to reinforce stability,
as:
- Bubble level to help vertical adjustment.
- Specify maximum load that the ground support tower can raise.
About objects falling to a different level, knocks and/or contusions with objects
The risk of objects falling to a different level can be prevented by using homologated safety
elements, e.g., a safety pin which fixes the inner profile of the ground support tower in its
working position, so the cable does not support load and guaranteeing the impossibility of a
drop. In the event of cable breakage, the braking system will act automatically. Furthermore, if
steel elements have been zinc coated it protects the entire unit from oxidation and corrosion.
These risks can also be minimised with correct ground support tower maintenance. The user
must perform periodical inspections on safety elements and make the necessary repairs in
case deficiencies are detected.
Moreover, the consequences of these risks can be reduced limiting an access area to the
ground support tower and with a correct training of personnel.
About noise emissions
This equipment does not produce more than 80 dB.
