1. General information

1.1. Introduction

The present operating and assembly instructions are only valid for the scaffolds described in
these operating and assembly instructions.

The instructions provided in these operating and assembly instructions for safety as well as
the rules and regulations f or the handling of scaffolds are in the area of application of the scaffolds
mentioned in this documentation.

The operator must on his own responsibility:

• bear responsibility for adherence to local, regional and national regulations,

• adhere to the regulations (laws, ordinances, guidelines, etc.) listed for safe handling,

• ensure that the operating and assembly instructions are available to operating

personnel and that all details such as instructions, warnings and safety pro visions ar e
followed completely.

1.2. Manufacturer

The manufacturer of the scaffolds described in this documentation is:

ZARGES GmbH Tel.: +49 8 81 / 68 71 00
Lift technology branch Fax: +49 8 81 / 68 72 95
PO Box 16 30 E-mail: [e-mail]
82360 Weilheim Internet: http://www.zarges.de

1.3. Construction type approval

The scaffolds addressed below were inspected by.

1.4. Warranty

The scope, period and form of the warranty are established in the manufacturer's sales and
delivery conditions. Authoritative for warranty claims which arise fr om insuffi cient documentation
is always the operating and assembly instructions valid at the time of delivery (see section 1.5).
Beyond the sales and delivery conditions, it applies that: There is no warranty assumed for
damage to the delivered scaffolds which arises due to one or several of the following reasons:

• lack of knowledge or disregarding of these operating and assembly instructions

• insuffi ciently-qualifi ed or trained operating personnel

• use of other than original spare parts

The operator must ensure on his own responsibility:

• that the safety provisions according to section 5 are adhered to,

• that an improper use (see section 1.8) and faulty setting up and impermissible use are

excluded and thus

• that in addition, proper use (see section 1.7) is guaranteed and that the scaffolds are

operated according to the contractually agreed-upon conditions of use.

1.5. Date of issue

The date of issue of these German-language operating and assembly instructions
is 1 October 2006.

1.6. Industrial property and trademark rights

• The trademark right for these operating and assembly instructions remains with

the manufacturer.

• Furthermore, all rights are reserved, especially for the case of the granting of

a patent or utility patent registration.

• Violations which contradict the details above are subject to punitive damages!

1.7. Proper usage

The scaffolds listed in these operating and assembly instructions may only be used as scaffolds
according to the r egulations of EN 1004 and the version o verview of these operating and assembl y
instructions.

1.8. Improper usage

A use other than for the purposes intended – that is, a deviation from the details provided in
section 1.7 of the scaffolds documented in these operating and assembly ins tructions – counts as
improper usage in the sense of ProdSG (s tatus as of 1.8.1997). This also applies for the disregarding
of the standards and guidelines listed in these operating and assembly instructions.

2. Design

2.1. Safety provisions

1. For the stability, installation and usage of the scaff olds mentioned above, the regulations
of EN 1004 "Mobile access and w orking to w er s" apply.

2. The scaffolds may only be assembled and used by people who are familiar with these
operating and assembly instructions.

3. For the assembly and disassembly of the scaffold, at leas t two people are required.

4. Only undamaged and faultless original spare parts of the
manufacturer's scaffold system, which refers to the inspection
certifi cate, may be used. Before using the unit, inspect all c omponents
for proper assembly and functionality.

5.

According to EN 1004, the maximum platform heights are
limited to 8 m outdoors and 12 m in entirely closed-in spaces.
For the scaffolds described in these operating and assembly
instructions, the maximum platform height in entirely closed­in spaces is 10 m.

6. The use of lifts on the scaffold is not permitted.

7. The fi rst platform may be at a height of max. 4.40 m above the ground. The distance
between the other platforms may be at most 4 m. The platforms must be at l east 1.70 m
apart.

8. During the assembly and disas sembl y of the scaffold, platf orms or scaffold planks mus t
be laid out completely at a distance of 2 m as assembly aids. With the use of scaffold
planks, these must extend 500 mm beyond the scaffold on each side. It is forbidden to
use railings and braces as a place to st and, also not f or as sembly and disassembly.

9. The assembly of the scaffold is only permitted
perpendicular on a horizontally-level subsurface
with suffi cient carrying capacity. If necessary, load-
distributing bases must be used.

10. For information about the use of chassis beams, ballast weights, stabilisers and wall
spacers to guarantee stability, see these operating and assembly instructions.

11. Work on the working platform is only permitted with complete 3-part side protection,
that is, railing frames, knee protection and surrounding toe boards. The intermediate
platforms do not have to have toe boards.

12. Work on several working platf orms simultaneously is not permitted.

13. For wall-side assembly of the scaffold, wall spacers can also be used for ballasting
(accessory, order no. 44461).

14. The permissible load capacity of the scaffold with e venly-distributed load is 2.0 kN/ m²
(according to EN 1004 - scaffolding group 3).

15. All swivel castors must be fi xed by pressing down the brake lever.
The brake lever may only be released for moving.

16. When moving the scaffold, neither people nor material
or tools may be on the platform. Avoid all collisions.
Move the scaffold only by hand in the lengthwise or
diagonal direction on solid, level and obstacle-free
surfaces. When moving, normal walking speed may
not be exceeded.

17. Moving the scaffold with the assistance of vehicles (e.g. fork lifts) is forbidden.
The scaffold may not be lifted or pulled or pushed with the fork lift.

18. The area on which the scaffold is moved must be able to accommodate its weight.

19. For use outdoors or in open buildings, the scaffold
must be moved into a wind-protected area if
there are wind strengths above 6 (according
to the Beaufort scale), in case of an oncoming
storm and when work is complete and protected
against tipping with other suitable measures
(e.g. anchoring). The exceeding of the wind
strength 6 (12 m/s) can be detected with a palpable drag when walking.

20. With the use of anchors in connection with anchor fi tting connections, the information
in the "Bulletin for the attachment of dowels to anchors of facade scaffolds" (can be
ordered from Carl Heymanns Verlag KG, Luxemburger Straße 449 in 50939 Cologne­order no. ZH 1/500) must be heeded.

21. The bridging of scaffolds to buildings with planks
is not permitted. The scaffold may not be used as a
stair tower in order to reach other constructions from
there.

22. Before using the scaffold, the vertical alignment of the scaffold must be checked and
corrected if neces sary . F urthermore, the scaff old must be checked to ensur e compl ete
assembly according to section 2.8.

23. With the use of stabilisers, these must always be attached under a frame. The anti­twist devices of the stabilisers must always be attached.

2.2. Behaviour for work on electrical systems with the scaffold

Work on or in the proximity of unprotected live systems, may not be carried out using
the scaffold if

• the system component is not disconnected,

• the system component is not secured against switching on,

• if there is voltage in the system component,

• the system component is not short-circuited with an earthing rail,

• the system component is not isolated against adjacent live parts.

2.3. Further applicable safety instructions

For the inspection, assembly and usage of the scaffold, the following provisions are applicable:

• BGI 663 " Instructions for action for handling work and protective scaffolds"

For the use of electrical de vices on the scaffold, the pr ovisions of BGR 165 and BGI 594 (pre viously
ZH 1/228) "Safety rules for the use of electrical equipment with increased electrical hazard"
apply.
