NEVER STAND ON AN
UNGUARDED PLATFORM
We recommend a minimum of two people to assemble, dismantle and move the platform tower.
Check that all components are on site and in good working order.
Ensure that the assembly location is checked to prevent hazards during assembly, dismantling or moving
and while working on the tower. Particular attention should be given to the ground condition, whether
level or sloping, obstructions and wind conditions. The ground condition must be capable of supporting
the tower structure.
Towers must always be climbed from the inside of the assembly using the ladder.
Lifting of components must be done inside the effective base area of the tower; components are normally
hoisted using a rope.
Moving the tower must only be done by manual effect from the base of the tower.
When moving tower be aware of overhead hazards (e.g. electric cables).
No personnel or material to be on the platform whilst the tower is being moved.
Beware of horizontal loads which can lead to instability of the tower. The maximum side force is 20kg.
Do not use boxes or steps to gain additional height. If extra height required, contact your distributor to
get extra components.
Do not lift or suspend an assembled mobile tower.
Damaged components or components from other tower systems must never be used.
Stabilisers should always be fitted when specified. Use the stabiliser shown on the component list
according to the tower height.
When wind exceeds Beaufort force 4, cease using the tower.
If wind is expected to reach Beaufort force 6, tie tower to a rigid structure.
If winds of Force 8 are forecast, dismantle the tower or remove to shelter.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•

•
•
•
•
3
Keep all equipment clean, especially spigots and sockets where frames join. Spigots should fit easily into
sockets. Lubricate with light oil.
Remove dirt or paint from adjustable legs with a light brush, lightly oil the leg locks.
Do not strike or hammer components. Do not throw or drop onto hard surfaces.
Lightly oil spring mechanism of the hooks.
For transport and storage, components are best stored vertically.
Damaged parts must be repaired or replaced; refer to the Instant Upright website for further advice or
contact your equipment supplier for advice.
