If assembly work must be interrupted, this must be done in such a way that, when the work
is restarted it is clear what stage had been reached when work was stopped. For this
reason always complete a part of the assembly, for example, assemble collect or secure all
the components for a connection, complete a ground support or completely assemble an
anchor before stopping work.
While the mast is being erected, no more than two persons with a single mast machine or
four persons with a twin mast machine, may be on the platform, so that no more than 75%
of the lifting capacity is used.
The assembly must always be followed by a test run, as described in section 7.3. Until the
test has been performed, the platform may not be used for any purpose other than
transporting its own mast elements and anchoring components.
The loading of the mast climbing work platform must be planned so that when, in the
assembly situation, the maximum height of the mast above the last anchor is reached (the
maximum distance between anchors), the material load on the platform is a minimum.
