8WHEN ANY CANTILEVERS ARE USED, such

as brackets, etc., proper care and precautions
must be taken to prevent tipping of the scaffold.

9FOR ROLLING SCAFFOLDS FOLLOW

THESE ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES:

a. Never ride rolling scaffolds.

b. Remove all materials and equipment from

the scaffold before moving.

c. Lock caster brakes at all times the scaffold is

not being moved.

d. Do not attempt to move rolling scaffolds

without sufficient help and roll on level
surfaces only.  Watch out for holes or floor
obstructions and for overhead obstructions,
including power lines, energized craneways,
and other hazards.

e. The maximum platform height of a rolling

scaffold must not exceed four (4) times the
narrowest dimension.  Check local State/
OSHA Regulations for other height/base
limitations such as 3:1 in CA,OH, OR, MT
and ME; 3.5:1 in WA.  Comply with these
regulations by appropriately widening and/or
lengthening the scaffold at the lower levels
so that the above proportions are not
exceeded.  If the base dimensions cannot be
increased, extreme care must be taken to
secure the scaffold from tipping; it must be
guyed, or tied to a solid structure and
maintained in a stabilized condition at all
times so that it cannot tip over while
supporting persons, while being moved or
while being erected or dismantled.

f. Apply pulling or pushing forces at the bottom

end frames  and as close to the scaffold base
as possible.  Never attempt to move scaffold
from on top.

g. If rolling scaffolds are used outdoors, care

must be taken to assure that they cannot
become unstable due to wind or other
conditions.

10. DO NOT OVERLOAD SCAFFOLDS.  Refer to

and do not exceed the scaffold load data shown
on page 3.  For further information relative to
specific scaffold installations that do not fall
within this data, consult your bil-jax supplier.

11. BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES IN DESIGN

AND FIT, do not intermingle scaffold
components of different manufacture.

REFER TO AND COMPLY WITH ALLOWABLE LOAD DATA SHOWN ON PAGE 3.
