Stabilisers
Stabilisers should always be attached to the tower so as to maximise the base area of the tower structure.
The correct size stabilisers must always be used – see component schedule for details.
Stabilisers are attached to the tower using the half couplers on the stabiliser. Once the correct positioning
of the stabilisers as outlined below has been achieved, ensure that the couplers are fully tightened to give
a reliable grip on the tower frame. Ensure that the stabilisers press firmly against the ground.
In an open area, set the stabilisers so they form a square around the tower as per the diagram below.
Diagonal braces
must always be located
with the claw opening facing down.
Horizontal braces must be located with
the claw facing either down (on the rung)
or outwards (if on the upright).
All braces are fitted with spring loaded
pins that automatically lock the brace
into position when attached to a tower.
Brace hooks
must be located either over
the rung screw heads, between 2 screw
heads or between the frame upright and a
screw head to prevent lateral movement.
Frames
must always be assembled with
the offset conical head fitting pointing
inwards towards the centre of the tower.
