1. Introduction
This manual applies exclusively to folding and rolling tower configurations (hereinafter: 'the scaffold) as described in this assembly &
user manual (hereinafter: 'the manual'). Prior to starting to assemble the tower, you should carefully read this manual. The required tower
should be assembled and used in accordance with this manual. All instructions in this manual have to be followed strictly. Not following
the instructions contained in this manual can easily result in serious accidents. Altrex cannot be held liable for any loss resulting from the
assembly or use of an Altrex tower that is not in compliance with the manual. The employer, supervisor and user are responsible for the
correct use of the tower in accordance with this manual and they must ensure that this manual is available at all times when work is being
carried out using the tower. Additional copies of the manual can be ordered from Altrex.
Local legislation and regulations might encompass measures in addition to those stated in this manual.

3. Safety instructions

1. The location of the rolling tower must be checked to prevent accidents during assembly, dismantling and moving with respect to:
A. A horizontal, flat and solid base
B. The location must be free of obstacles
C. Maximum allowed wind speeds
2. Check if all required parts, tools and safety tools (ropes, etc) for assembling the rolling tower are available.
3. The scaffold must not be out of the plumb in excess of 1%. Therefore, at a height of 4 meters, the deviation may not exceed 4 cm.
4. The use of hoisting gear on or attached to the scaffold is not permitted; this can seriously affect the stability of the tower. Scaffold parts, tools
and materials may only be brought up and down (to and from the work floor) manually using a rope, for example. An exception to this is
working with the Altrex Shuttle lift system.
5. Check all parts for damage. Damaged or incorrect parts may not be used. Mixing scaffold parts of different brands/from different
manufacturers is not permitted, because strength & stability calculation was not carried out for the mixed configuration concerned.
6. The standard configurations in this manual are not calculated on the use of tarpaulins and/or advertising boards.
7. Never leave the rolling tower unsupervised. If the rolling tower must be left unsupervised, you have to make sure that unauthorised
individuals cannot access it.
8. Particular attention should be paid to using scaffolds when there is wind:
- with a speed greater than 12.7 m/s (maximum 6 on the scale of Beaufort); take also into account squalls and gusts
- in areas that are very sensitive to wind e.g., in open constructions and at the corners of a building
In these cases, the scaffold must be disassembled or moved to a wind-free place.
9. Lateral loads exceeding 30 kg resulting from work activities on the scaffold are not permitted. In the event of significantly larger forces, the
scaffold should be anchored to the façade at 2 points every 4 metres.
10. Never access the tower on the outside and never stand on the braces.
11. Triangle stabilisers and ballast must always be attached according to the configuration & ballast table.
12. Hoisting or suspending the tower is not permitted.
13. It is not permitted to increase the height of a platform e.g. with ladders, stepladders, boxes or any other object.
14. Mobile acces towers are not designed as anchor points for personal fall protection.
15. Never make structural adjustments to the scaffolding.
