Tower safety
Never overload the tower.
The tower’s maximum
working load is 150kg on the platform. Only one
person is allowed on the platform, along with tools
and materials.
Never lean anything against the tower.
Never use if for jobs that excert repetative or
excessive force.
Lateral force over 198N -
equivalent to a 20kg weight - make it unstable even
when fitted with stabilisers or balast. This section
includes a table (a) to indicate what level of lateral
force is exerted by typical jobs. Those jobs likley
to exert excessive sideways force should not be
carried out on this tower, whilst those likely to
excert moderate sideways force should be carried
out with due care.
Never use boxes, steps etc to gain extra height.
Never reach too far out to one side.
If the tower is to be repositioned on a higher step,
DO NOT attempt to move it as a complete
assembly. Always dismantle it and rebuild at the
new location.
General Safety
This tower is intended only for indoor use,
and must
not be positioned where it could be subjected to
wind loads. Ensure that the site or stairwell where
it is erected does not induce any funneling or
concentrating effect of the wind, or where opening
of doors could introduce sudden wind loads.
Ensure that you are not contravening any health
and safety law
(blocking a fire exit for example)
before proceeding to construct the tower on the
stairwell.
