4.- Remove the blocking hook from the aluminium profiles by
turning the tube to make the hook longer and then hook it
back onto the tower, as per the following pictures.
5.- Put the forks into the horizontal working position and lock them with the magnetic
locking pins.
HOW TO PUT THE FORKS IN THE 'FORKS UP' POSITION
Remove the nut and bolt that holds the fork carriage to the
fork-carriage mast profile. Turn the fork plate 180º, insert it
onto the fork-carriage mast profile and secure the bolt and nut
again.
FUNCTION TEST
1.- Place a test load on the forks and secure.
2.- Raise and lower the tower following the below operating instructions to ensure it is
functioning correctly and the winch is operating smoothly and free of hesitation or binding.
HOW TO MOVE THE TOWER TO THE WORK AREA
> Without the load:
- In vertical position, use the four wheels on the base with the help of the
manoeuvring handle.
- In horizontal position, use the upper and lower transportation wheels,
ensuring that the blocking hook is locking the profiles.
> With the load: Although the best option is to manoeuvre the tower without the load, but
it can also be done with the load, as long as the 8 wheels on the base and the legs are all
touching the ground and the ground is flat. Keep the load at the lowest height at all times
possible.
RAISING THE LOAD
Place the working load on the forks as close to the tower as possible, making sure that the
load force acts vertically on the tower. Secure the load using slings, cables, chains, etc.
Note: The further away the load is from the tower body the lower the maximum load
weight is; consult load capacity chart pg. 14.
* If the load isn't correctly placed on the forks this could cause a serious accident, or even
death.
* Ensure that the load you wish to raise does not exceed the rated load capacity
recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING!
1.– To start to raise the load, turn the winch handle in clockwise direction and the profiles
will be lifted. The cable must be wound onto the winch drum in an even and adjacent way.
2.- When you reach the desired height stop turning the winch handles and the winch will
hold the profiles in place.
IMPORTANT: Stop turning the winch handles when you notice that the movement
becomes difficult. This indicates that the tower has reached its maximum height. VERY
DANGEROUS: Forcing the winch at this point could cause serious internal damage to the
tower.
LOWERING THE LOAD
1.– To start to lower the load, turn the winch handle in anti-clockwise direction and the
profiles will be lowered.
2.- When you have completely lowered the profiles stop turning the winch handles.
BLOCKING THE LOAD/SAFETY SYSTEMS
•
AUTO-BRAKE HAND WINCH
If you let go of the winch handle the brake will automatically take affect and block the load
in place.
•
IPB SYSTEM (Internal Pendulum Brake)
Each mast profile has an incorporated safety brake that works
by inertia, holding the load in place if the cable were to become
loose or break.
When the jagged component has been activated it can be seen
between the mast profiles. Once the safety brake has been
deactivated, it will have gone back to its original position and will
no longer be visible.
HOW TO UNNBLOCK THE MAST PROFILES IF THE SAFETY BRAKE (IPB System) HAS BEEN
ACTIVATED.
If it is activated due to a kink in the cable or sagging, raise the tower
by turning the winch handle clockwise, this way the cable will become
tensed again and the safety brake will deactivate automatically, so
you can continue too use the tower.
Our towers are fitted with a special deactivation system for when the
IPB system is activated due to cable breakage, this system is called
the MSU System.
Unblock the tower using the following instructions:
1.- Firstly the load, where possible, must be removed from the tower. 11
