GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Before You Start

• Familiarize yourself with these instructions paying attention to

these safety notes before you use the equipment supplied. Mo-

bile towers may only be assembled and dismantled by persons

familiar with these instructions.

• You will require the following Personnel Protective Equipment

(PPE) to help avoid personal injury, Hard Hat, Safety Gloves,

Safety Shoes or Boots.

• Inspect the individual components to ensure that they are not

damaged and that they function properly. Damaged components

shall not be used. Only use genuine Euro Towers components

with this tower, incorrect components shall not be used.

• Check the quantity of components supplied corresponds correct-

ly to the kitting list of the tower height you are planning to build.

Do not start assembly if you do not have the correct number of

components. Do not use any tower that has missing or damaged

parts or has not been properly assembled.

• Check the surface on where you are going to assemble the

tower is clear of excessive debris and can support the weight

of the tower, equipment and persons to be on the tower. Do not

assemble the scaffold tower on unstable ground such as drain

grates, covers or duct covers or objects such as loose bricks,

boxes or blocks.

• Check for overhead hazards such as power lines. Do not

assemble a tower near un-insulated, live or energised electrical

machinery or circuits, or near machinery in operation.

• Euro Towers recommend a minimum of 2 persons to build this

tower system. For taller towers you may require additional

persons.

• Mobile Scaffold Towers are not designed to be lifted or suspend-

ed by a crane or any other lifting device.

Inspection, Maintenance and Transport

• Regularly inspect the individual components to ensure that they

are not damaged and that they function properly. Damaged

components shall not be used and shall be removed from use.

Damaged components should be replaced, sent for repair or be

destroyed.

• Inspect all tubes on frames, stabilizers and braces for dents, cuts

and holes, damaged equipment should not be used. Check all

joints for cracked welds and that they are secure.

• Inspect brace hooks, check the clicker works freely, and that the

hook is not distorted from abuse. Check the brace is not bent

out of shape.

• Inspect platforms for damage to the decking and fixings, and that

(if fitted) trapdoors open and close freely. Check the aluminium

framework for damage and weld condition, look out for cracked

welds due to overloading. Check the hooks are not distorted

from abuse.

• Inspect stabilizer couplers tighten and can be loosened freely,

ensure rubber foot is in securely fitted and not worn out, check

for adjusting pins on telescopic stabilizers are fitted and secured.

• Inspect castors, checking that the wheel turns and spins freely,

that the brake engages and stops the wheel from spinning and

that the wheel has no flat spots.

• Inspect the adjustable leg threads are clean from burrs and the

nut run freely up and down the thread. Check the nut housing for

abuse or missing nodules.

• Light oil or a lubricating spray may be used to free up jammed

clickers, castors, adjustable leg nuts, trapdoor hinges and

latches.

• When transporting the components do not use excessive

strapping forces when securing the load, this may distort

components if not done properly.

Further information on inspection and maintenance can be found

on Euro Towers Inspection Posters. For further safety information

or downloading instructions call Euro Towers or visit our website.

Assembly & Dismantling

• All components should be passed up or down by hand where

possible, where this is not possible use a suitable material for

lifting (e.g. Heavy, corded rope) and sufficient knot ties (e.g. Hitch

knot or Timber Hitch). Do not use mechanical hoists.

• Always climb the inside of the tower using the ladders provided.

Never climb up the outside on any tower.

• If outside be aware of adverse weather or windy conditions. Be

aware of changes to the environment in which you are using your

tower that could make it unsafe.

• Do not lean ladders against the tower or climb the outside of the

tower, only ascend and descend via the supplied access system

from inside the tower, use the trapdoor for access.

Safe Use

• Should you require additional platform height, add further

components. Never extend your adjustable legs to achieve extra

height, these are for levelling only. Never use a ladder or other

objects on the platform to achieve additional height.

• Before use, check that all components listed have been used in

the tower in the correct position.

• Be aware of imposing side loads onto your tower by the work you

are carrying out, such as the use of power tools or high-pressure

jets. The maximum side load allowed is 20Kg.

• Do not exceed the safe working load of the platform or structure

by accumulating debris, material or tools on platforms as these

can be a significant additional load. Loads must be evenly spread

and not block trapdoors.

• It is not permissible to attach and use hoisting facilities on towers,

unless specifically provided for by Euro Towers Ltd.

• Never climb on horizontal or diagonal braces. Do not gain access

or descend from the working platform other than by the included

access system. Never jump on to or off platforms.

• Guardrails and Toeboards must be fitted to working platforms.

• It is not permissible to attach bridging sections between a scaffold

tower and a building.

Stability

• Ensure that the scaffold tower is always level and the adjustable

legs are engaged. Check that you have taken all necessary pre-

cautions to prevent the tower being moved or rolling away. Always

apply all castor brakes or use base plates.

• Ensure that the scaffold tower is within the maximum platform

height as stated, and that the appropriate stabilizers are fitted.

• A scaffold tower must not be used or moved in winds stronger

than 7.7 meters per second. Beaufort scale 4. (17mph).

• If the wind speed is likely to get up to or exceed 25mph the tower

should be tied to a suit adjacent structure, if no structure is availa-

ble you must dismantle the tower completely before it is exposed

to these strong winds.

• When moving a tower plan the route, remove all persons and

equipment from the tower, walk the route checking that the

ground can take the weight of the tower and looking out for ob-

structions and hazards on the ground and overhead. If you have

any doubt about the route dismantle the tower and re-assemble in

the new required location.

• To move a tower safely, adjust the top clamp of the stabilizers and

lift the rubber foot no more than 25mm from the ground, release

the braked wheels and push the tower at normal walking speed

to the required position. Once in position reapply brakes, level

tower and reposition all stabilizer feet to ensure firm contact with

the ground. The maximum height you can move a tower is 4.2m

platform

• Ballast weights can be used where it is not possible to fit the

required stabilizers. They must be solid materials and cannot

be granular or liquid, they must be secured to the tower and

placed as low down as possible, this can be on extra platform(s).

Stabilizers or Ballast weights must be used when stated in the kit

list. For further information on the use of Ballast Weights contact

your supplier or Euro Towers Ltd.
