Setting up
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to adjust the height of the
work station when anyone is standing on it. Remove any
tools or materials from the platform before adjusting the
workstation height.
To adjust the height of the platform:
1
If you have not already raised and locked the guardrail
and extended the stabilisers (as described in the previous
sections) do it now.
If you intend to use the platform at the 0.4m height
position, then proceed to instruction number 9 in this
section.
2
Lock the wheel
brakes of the 2 back
castors with wheels
pointing outwards.
Leave the front wheel
brakes unlocked.
3
Check that the foot
pedal safety catch is
unlocked.
4
Hold onto the work
station by the lifting
handle, labelled Lift
Here. Place the sole
of your shoe on the
bar of the platform
height adjustment
foot pedal, with your
heel on the ground.
Push the bar of the foot
pedal inwards to disengage
the platform height locking mechanism.
Setting up
5
Using your foot to keep the pedal pressed inwards,
move the lifting handle upwards or downwards to raise or
lower the platform.
IMPORTANT:
Do not let go of the platform and let it drop
under its own weight as this could cause damage to the
work station. Hold on to the Lifting Handle and raise or
lower it with care.
6
The telescopic tubes in the base of
the work station are marked with holes to
indicate the 0.8m and 1.025m platform
height positions. At 1.250m positions,
the end stops on the telescopic tubes
position the platform.
When the appropriate height mark on the telescopic tube
is aligned with the end of the base tube release the foot
pedal to engage the platform height locking mechanism.
You may need to raise or lower the platform slightly so that
the spring loaded locking mechanism can engage and
lock.
7
Engage the foot pedal safety catch to
the locked position by rotating it behind
the foot pedal plate.
IMPORTANT:
The mechanism is fully
engaged and locked only when the
safety catch has been rotated to the
locked position as shown. Never climb
onto the work station without checking the locking
mechanism has fully engaged and the safety catch is
locked.
8
Lock the wheel brakes of the 2 front castors with
wheels pointing outwards.
9
IMPORTANT: Never
climb on to the workstation
without locking all 4 wheel
brakes with the wheels
pointing outwards. Lock all
4 wheels brakes as shown
in the diagram below.
Setting up
Setting the stabilisers
1
Release the stabiliser locking handles on both sides of
the workstation
2
Slide the stabilisers out to the fully extended position
and tighten the locking handles
IMPORTANT: Never
climb on to the workstation without
fully extending the stabilisers and tightening the locking
handles
Raising and lowering the platform
When the work station has been positioned, and the
stabilisers extended, the platform height may be adjusted
to a suitable working position.
The work station has 4 height positions:
Height (m)
Position
Safe Working Height*
0.4 m
Fully lowered
1.90 m
0.8 m
2nd Position
2.30 m
1.025 m
3rd Position
2.525m
1.25 m
4th Position
2.75 m
Safe Working Heights are based on an approximate
shoulder height of 1.5m above the platform. It is possible
to work above this e.g. overhead when working on
ceilings, but you should never over-reach or stand on the
guardrails, or anything placed on the platform, to gain
extra height.
