SPECIFIC RULES FOR SCAFFOLDING
These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool,
so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
5. Acids and other corrosive substances may severely affect the integrity of the scaffolding. Use extreme care around
such materials and follow applicable instructions. Do not use acids or other corrosive substances on scaffolding
parts, as they could corrode the metal and decrease its strength.
6. Immediately remove scaffolding from use and discard if exposed to excessive heat (such as fire), which could
cause a loss of structural integrity.
7. Do not permit oil, grease, or other slippery material to accumulate on climbing or gripping surfaces.
8. Do not use the product if the platform surface is damaged or has deteriorated. Only use the included platform or
an identical replacement platform. The platform must not extend beyond the base support.
9. The maximum working load is 1000 pounds evenly distributed for one stage and 750 pounds combined for two
stages. The total combined weight of workers and materials must not exceed the rated working load. Always keep
weight evenly distributed.
10. Be aware of dynamic loading: jumping on or suddenly dropping weight onto the scaffolding may briefly create
an excess load, causing the product to fail.
11. Do not ride on or transport items on scaffolding.
12. Do not allow unstable objects or slippery materials to accumulate on the scaffolding.
13. Do not use for cantilever applications. Use with supports directly underneath the scaffolding.
14. Maintain labels and nameplates on the scaffolding. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or
missing, contact WEN customer service for a replacement.
15. Position the scaffolding on a hard, level surface. Make sure the working/standing surface is completely level and
that the wheels are locked before getting on the scaffolding.
16. Do not climb onto scaffold from a ladder unless both the scaffolding and the ladder are secured from movement
in all directions. Do not use a ladder above the platform to reach greater heights.
17. Use guard rails, mid rails and toe boards (not included) as required by local, state and federal regulations. Using
such safety devices is always recommended.
18. Scaffolds that are covered in ice or snow cannot be used until they are cleaned off thoroughly. Scaffolds must
not be used during storms or in windy weather.
19. Store idle scaffolding out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the scaffold to climb
on it or use it for any purpose. This item can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Have the scaffolding regularly serviced by a qualified person. Use only identical replacement parts and acces-
sories. This will ensure a longer lifespan for the product and will also maximize safety.
