2.
Assembly
SAFE WORKING LOADS AND WORKING HEIGHTS
The total loading on the podium structure should not exceed 150kg.
Do not extend the build height above that shown in this guide.
USAGE ADVICE
•
• Ensure that the assembly location is checked to prevent hazards during assembly, dismantling or moving
and while working on the podium. Particular attention should be given to the ground condition, whether
level or sloping, obstructions and wind conditions. The ground should be capable of supporting the podium.
• Podiums must always be climbed from the front of the assembly using the provided ladder only.
• Moving the podium must only be done by manual effect from the base of the podium.
• When moving the podium be aware of overhead hazards (e.g. electrical cables).
• No personnel or material to be on the platform whilst the podium is being moved
• Beware of horizontal loads which can lead to instability in the podium. The maximum side force is 10kg.
• Do not use boxes or steps to gain additional height. If extra height is required contact your distributor to get
an alternative podium/tower.
• Do not lift or suspend an assembled podium
• Damaged components or components from other podiums must never be used.
• When wind exceeds Beaufort force 4, cease using the podium.
• If wind is expected to reach Beaufort 6, tie podium to a rigid structure.
• If winds of Force 8 or greater are forecast, dismantle the podium or remove to shelter.
WARNING
NEVER STAND ON AN
UNGUARDED PLATFORM
• Read and ensure you understand the assembly and safety instructions
Ensure all components are present, in good working order and correctly fitted before use.
