Ties
Ties should be used when the correct Stabilisation/
Ballast cannot be achieved, or if there is a danger
of instability. They should be rigid, two way ties
fastened to both uprights of the frame with load
bearing right angled or swivel couplers. Only
couplers suitable for the 50.8mm diameter tube of
the tower should be used. Ideally, ties should be
secured to both faces of a solid structure by means
of anchorages.
The tie frequency may vary depending on the
application, but they should, at a minimum, be
every 4 metres height.
For further information on tying-in a tower please
contact your supplier or Youngman.
Maintenance - Storage - Transport
All components and their parts should be regularly
inspected to identify damage, particularly to joints.
Lost or broken parts should be replaced, and any
tubing with indentation greater than 5mm should
not be used and put to one side for manufacture
repair. Adjustable leg threads should be cleaned
and lightly lubricated to keep them free running.
Brace claws, frame interlock clips, trapdoor latches
and platform windlocks should be regularly
checked to ensure they lock correctly.
Refer to the BoSS Inspection Manual for detailed
inspection and maintenance advice.
Components should be stored with dure care to

strapping forces when transported.
