2. Safety instructions

To prevent accidents during assembly, disassembly and operation of the Shuttle, the following safety regulations must be

strictly adhered to.

1. Always erect the scaffold in accordance with the instructions supplied with the scaffold.

2. Never place loads heavier than 30 kg on the Shuttle.

3. It is forbidden to hoist people and/or animals using the Shuttle.

4. Check the hoisting strop carefully beforehand to ensure that it is free of tears, frayed edges / holes, deformations or other

damage.

5. Replace the hoisting strop every 5 years, even if it still seems completely intact.

6. Always position the scaffolding in combination with the Shuttle on a flat, horizontal and firm surface.

7. Make sure there are no obstacles in the Shuttle's path.

8. Never use the Shuttle at wind speeds greater than 10.7 m/s (max. 5 Beaufort).

9. The maximum platform height for outside use is 8.20 m and 12.20 m for inside use

10. Use a portable drill (powertool) with a minimum (continuous/nominal) power of 600 Watts to operate the winch.

11. Turn the machine counter-clockwise to hoist the load and clockwise to lower it.

12. Never allow objects to protrude outside the Shuttle.

Pay attention to the following points when using the hoist:

13. The hoisting strop must run flat between winch and console, ensuring that the belt is free of twists.

14. To increase the longevity of the winch, avoid running once the highest hoisting position has been reached.

15. Always use the winch lock to secure the winch.

Avoid getting crushed and keep your distance:

16. The load you hoist with the Shuttle moves vertically up and down the scaffolding. Avoid getting crushed. Make sure you

keep enough distance from the load – also when within the scaffolding.

17. Keep a safe distance from the scaffolding when hoisting a load or when it is in a higher position, ensuring that the load you

are hoisting cannot fall out of the carrier.

18. Cordon off the area around the scaffolding if people can walk under the load
