5. General Rules and Instructions for Use
5.1. Be sure to follow the instructions for assembly and disassembly. The scaffold
should always be assembled in level and plumb. Only fully qualified persons
with the necessary knowledge of assembly and use should operate the
scaffold.
The folding scaffold is easily erected by one person.
5.2. Before assembly, all components should be checked. Only original, undamaged JUMBO
components should be used
5.3. The castors must be tightened correctly into the scaffold frame pipes.
The applied load of the scaffold must be evenly distributed over all 4
castors
5.5. When extending the scaffold, the frames are to be locked with self-locking safety pins.
The curved part of the pins should face out and down to make it lock
automatically. Connecting pieces must be used between the folding scaffold and extensions.
5.6 The JUMBO folding scaffold must always be erected on a secure and firm base that is able to
sustain the weight of the scaffold and the load applied during work. When moving the scaffold
push in the longitudinal direction only
– and push by the base section only. Move it at walking
speed and at a max. inclination of 2%. Jolts must be avoided.
5.7. When moving the scaffold, make sure that it is empty of persons or loose material.
5.8. After moving the scaffold, the brakes must be engaged at once.
Please ensure that all castors are securely locked before getting
onto the scaffold.
Before using the scaffold, make sure to read the instructions
carefully to ensure correct and safe assembly.
5.9. Beware of overhead obstructions. The scaffold should always be
kept
at least 3 m
from energized electric power lines.
5.10. Lifting devices or hoists must not be used on the scaffold.
5.11.Climb safely! Use both hands when climbing. Do not try to carry materials or tools while you
climb the scaffold. Make sure you are balanced. Keep one hand firmly on the scaffold frame at
all times. Clean your shoes and regularly clean the scaffold rungs to avoid slipping.
5.12. If the folding scaffold is extended, only climb it from the
inside
. When using more than one
platform, hatches must be staggered and kept closed at all times. Ascending and descending
the scaffold must only take place by the designated access.
Please read the instructions for the rolling towers.
5.4 Always make sure the hinged folding link is locked before
climbing the scaffold.
