8 . Assembling the MiTOWER STAIRS
8.1 Additional safety instructions MiTOWER STAIRS
The safety instructions in chapter 3 also apply for the MiTOWER Stairs. The safety instructions in this chapter (8.1) are
additional.
1. WARNING: It is not allowed to assemble the MiTOWER Stairs with wheels. Follow the instructions in the next chapter
to install the wheel leg with rubber foot.
2. CAUTION: Not every stair / staircase is suitable to use the MiTOWER Stairs. It is very important that all four feet can
be positioned at least 4 inch from the edge of the steps. [T2: F19-F-20]. Do not use the MiTOWER Stairs if that is not
possible.
3. CAUTION: Not every stair / staircase is suitable to assemble the 4 stabilizers (T1: E); [T2: F22-F26]. In these situations
it is necessary to anchor the MiTOWER to a solid wall with anchorage tubes (T1: L).
4. For extra The lashing bands / straps (T1: M) can be used around a step for extra stability. It is not allowed to use only
lashing bands / straps for stabilization, without the use of stabilizers and anchorage tubes.
8.2 Assembly steps MiTOWER STAIRS
MiTower Stairs will be assembled with the parts of the MiTower (T5) / MiTower+ (T6) and the MiTower Stairs set (T8).
Assemble the components on the basis of the steps that are shown in appendix T7. Make all connections as indicated
in appendix T2. See the table below for reference to the appendix with the configuration table and composition per type
of rolling tower.

Step 1 (T7:1)
1. Start with a walkthrough frame with gate (T1: G) and a walkthrough frame* (T1: H).
(*it is also possible to use two walkthrough frames with gate (T1:G)).
2. Install wheel legs with feet (T1: J) in the frames [T2: F16-F18].
3. Place a 4-rung frame (T1: A) on the (topmost) walkthrough frame with gate (T1: G) and secure it [T2: F4-F6]
4. Install 2x double guardrail braces (T1: C) between the 2 walkthrough frames [T2: F3] with the lower claws above the 1st rung of the topmost
walkthrough frame.
5.
Place two frames (T1: A) on top of one another and secure [T2: F4-F6]. Place these linked frames on the lower part of the tower and
secure it [T2: F5-F6]. Best position for this: standing on the staircase, between de walkthrough frames.
6. Install a double guardrail brace between walkthrough frame with door and the 4-rung frame, with the upper claw just below the top rung of the
walkthrough frame with door.
7.
Level out the base section using a spirit level. If necessary, adjust the wheel legs by screwing the wheel leg nut up or down.
8. If the top of both frames cannot be levelled out with the adjustable wheel legs, a 2-rung frame (T1: I) can be used to accommodate the
difference.
9. Check the position of the four feet on the staircase.[T2: F19-F20].
WARNING: do not continue the assembly if the base section is not level and/or the four feet cannot be positioned correctly on the staircase.
Step 2 (T7:2)
1. Install the triangular stabilizers (T1: E); [T2: F11 – F15]. Check if all stabilizers make good contact with the ground. Adjust the stabilizers if
necessary.
2. If it is not possible to install the stabilizers in the correct angle [F2: F22-F26], install 2 anchoring tubes (T1:L) while still standing on the
ground:
- On the walk-through frame side: install an anchoring tube on the upper rung and anchor it to the wall [T2: F27]
- Other side of tower: install an anchoring tube on the 7
3. If possible, install 2x lashing straps (T1: M) in the lower part of the scaffold [T2: F20]. Only install lashing straps to a sturdy construction such
as a step of an open staircase.
4. Place a platform (T1: D) on the top rung of the walkthrough frame with door [T2: F7 – F9].
5. Slide out the platform's hanging mechanisms [T2: F10] and hang 2x a double guardrail brace here (T1: C).
6. Climb through the hatch and sit on the platform with your legs through the hatch.
7. Mount 2x a double guardrail brace with the upper claw on top of the 4th rung of the frames [T2: F3].
Step 3 (T7:3)
1. Climb down and on the platform's hanging mechanisms hang: 2x a linked frame (T1:A), [T2:F4], a platform (T1:D) and a double guardrail
brace (T1:C).
2. Access the platform, install the linked frames and secure them [F2: F5-F6].
3. Install a double guardrail brace with the upper claws under the 4th rung of the frames that have just been installed [T2: F3].
4. Place a platform on the 4th rung of the frames you have just installed [T2: F7-F9]. Slide out the platform's hanging mechanisms [T2: F10].
Step 4 (T7:4)
1. Climb down and on the platform's hanging mechanisms hang: 2x a double guardrail brace (T1:C) and a toe board set (T1:F).
2. Stand on the first platform and move the parts to the hanging mechanisms of the second platform.
3. Climb through the hatch of the second platform and sit on the platform with your legs through the hatch.
4. Mount 2x a double guardrail brace (T1: C) with the upper claw on top of the 4th rung of the frames [T2: F3].
5. Stand on the platform and install the toe board set (T1:F).
