8,0 m
Under EN 1004, the maximum platform height is 8 m in
outdoor use and 12 m in completely enclosed spaces. The
maximum platform height for the scaffold towers described in
these assembly and usage instructions is 10 m in completely
enclosed spaces.
6. The use of lifting tackle on the scaffold tower is not permissible.
7. When setting or and dismantling the scaffold tower, platforms or scaffold planks must
be laid flat at a distance of 2 m as assembly aids. Where scaffold planks are used, they
must extend 500 mm beyond the scaffold tower on each side. Standing on railings and
braces is prohibited, even during setup and dismantling.
8.
The scaffold tower may only be set up in vertical position on
a horizontal, level surface of sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Where necessary, load-distributing pads must be used.
9. Ballast weights, stabilisers and stand-off brackets must be used to ensure structural
safety as described in these assembly and usage instructions.
10. Working on the work platform is only permissible with full protection on 3 sides,
i.e. guard-rail frame, knee protection and peripheral toeboards. Toeboards are not

5. Particular attention must be paid to the wind conditions when using the scaffold
towers next to uncovered buildings or building corners to prevent the scaffold towers
tipping over.
6. Using ladders, crates or similar means to increase the height of the platform is
prohibited.
7. Tools and materials may only be handed upwards. Always take the weight of tools
and materials into consideration to avoid overloading the work platform. The person
handing the load upwards must not let go of it until the person receiving it has a firm
hold on it.

(the ground or floor must not slope by more than 3 %). Any impact must be avoided.
When the scaffold tower is in its final position, the alignment must be checked again.
9. When moving the scaffold tower, always take care that it does not touch any live
equipment.
10. Electrical tools (drills etc.) may only be operated on the scaffold tower at Safety Extra
Low Voltage (48 V), with protective insulation (separation transformer) or if they are
connected with a ground fault circuit interrupter with a residual current of 30 mA.
11. Tools and materials must be stored on the work platform in such a way that there is a
passageway of 20 cm at the sides of the work platform.
2.3. Working on electrical units with the scaffold tower
The scaffold tower must not be used to perform work on or in the vicinity of unprotected live
units unless
• the section of the unit in question has been disconnected,
• the section of the unit in question has been secured against being switched back on,
• the section of the unit in question has been checked to ensure that it is not live,

Assembly and usage instructions
3. Structural safety regulations
3.1. General information
Chassis beams and stabilisers ensure that the scaffold tower is stable. However, depending on
the place of deployment (indoor / outdoor use), these may need to be fitted with ballast weights.
Please see the parts lists (Point 2.10) for details of the ballast required.
3.2. Attaching the ballast (on 53769 only)
Where the ballast weights are attached and how many
of them are required will depend on the specific setup
and platform height of the scaffold tower. Please refer
to the parts lists in Section 2.9 (lower area of the tables)
for the precise quantity of ballast required
On scaffold towers with stabilisers, ballast weights
with fastening clamps (Order No. 44474) must be used.
The ballast weights must be attached to the stabiliser
– as close as possible to the foot of the stabiliser.
3.3. Maintenance, servicing, storage and cleaning
The scaffold tower can be cleaned using water with a little household cleaning agent added. Paint
spots can be removed using terpentine. Cleaning agent must not be allowed to soak into the soil,
and used cleaning solutions must be disposed of in accordance with the relevant environmental
protection regulations.
Lubricating moving parts
Lubricate all moving parts (height adjusters, swivel castor bearings, fasteners) with standard
oil. Select a thin-bodied oil when using the scaffold tower in winter. Wipe off superfluous oil. Oil
must not be allowed to drip onto steps and platforms - danger of slipping. Dispose of oil-soaked
cleaning cloths in accordance with the relevant environmental protection regulations.
Storage
The components of the scaffold tower must be stored in such a way that damage is ruled out.
The components of the scaffold tower must be stored in such a way that they are protected from
the elements. During transport to and from the place of storage, the scaffold tower components
must be secured to prevent sliding and impact. The scaffold tower components must not be
thrown during loading or unloading.
