– The mobile scaffold tower always has to be vertical relative to the ground. Where necessary, it may have to be
realigned to ensure the same.

4. Assembly

4.1 General

The mobile scaffold tower must only be assembled once the personnel involved have read the product information
(section 2) and safety instructions (section 3) in full. Assembling and disassembling the tower requires at least 2 persons.
Mobile scaffold towers with a height in excess of 6 metres require 3 persons to assemble. Only use original parts in compli-
ance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Pages 114 and 115 contain a table with the individual steps for assembling the scaffold. Please note that
certain steps may have to be repeated multiple times. For this reason, please make sure to perform all of the
individual steps shown for your scaffold, which will depend on your scaffold's height. A detailed explanation of
the individual steps can be found from section 12 onwards.
*If you are planning to build low even working-height platforms (e.g. 6.80 m) with the packages for odd working-
height platforms (e.g. 7.80 m), you will need 1 additional diagonal braces Art. no. 912879
INFORMATION ON USING THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Assembly Instructions describe how to assemble the ProTec
tions. Please read the entire assembly instructions before assembly and take note of the differences between the different
assembly options. Depending on the height of the topmost working platform, the mobile scaffold tower will either have to be
fitted with ballast weights (version A – page 127) or outriggers (version B – page 127). Please read the corresponding
information in this manual.

4.2 Fitting the set of stabilisers

If using the mobile scaffold tower on a wall, it can be prevented from tipping over by fitting it with a set of stabilisers. The
use of stabilisers does in no way remove the need for the required ballast weights and outriggers. When using stabilisers,
always fit at least two stabilisers directly below the topmost working platform (see drawing page 132). Always use ring
bolts to fasten the device to the wall.
