7. Disassembling the scaffold (mobile working
platform)
All of the scaffold towers must be disassembled in the reverse order of the relevant
assembly instructions provided.
8. Inspection, care and maintenance
All of the scaffold‘s parts must be checked for damage and replaced if damaged before
ssembly. Only use original spare parts.
Visually inspect the scaffold (mobile working platform) to make sure that all of the welds
and other materials are free from cracks and that none of the parts are bent or dented.
Make sure that parts such as the claws, spindles, castors etc. are in proper working order.
The following parts must be checked prior to every assembly
– Vertical frame, stabilisers
– For deformations, dents and cracks
– Diagonal braces and hand rails
– For deformations, dents, cracks and the proper working order of the locks
– Platforms
– inspect for deformation, cracks an proper operation of the securing mechanism
– Condition of the wood
– The hatch for proper working order
– Toe boards
– Condition of the wood, cracks
– Castors
– Ease of movement and checking that the brake effectively stops
the castors from moving and turning
– In adjustable castors, the spindle‘s ease of movement
– Checking the failure protection equipment (locking pins, wing screw)
at the vertical frame or stabilisers
– Anti-lift devices
– For deformations, dents, cracks and correct fit
– The parts must never be thrown as this could damage them.
– All scaffold tower components have to be stored in such a way that they cannot
sustain any damage.
– The individual components have to be stored lying flat and protected from the
weather.
