6.4. Control card
After assembly, the scaffold should be provided with a control card (clearly visible from the ground) on which the following information is
entered:
•
Contact details responsible person
•
Whether the scaffolding is ready for use
•
Load class and the equalized load
•
Whether the scaffolding is intended for indoor or outdoor use
•
Date of assembly
EN
7. Check before use
1. Check that the rolling tower is horizontal (check using a spirit level)
2. Check that all wheels are on the brake.
3. Check that the stabilizers are properly adjusted and make good contact with the ground.
4. Check that the rolling tower is assembled in accordance with this manual and in conformity with the configuration and ballast table.
5. Check that the environmental factors, such as swinging doors ,awnings that operate automatically, aboveground electrical cables,
traffic and/or passers-by, etc., do not lead to dangerous situations.
6. Check that the rolling tower can be used safely and that it is suitable for the intended purpose.
8. Weight and ballast
•
See Annex T12 for an overview of the total weight of the scaffold and the number of counterweights of 5 kg per wheelleg that
should be used.
•
If ballast is required according to the ballast table, the number of weights mentioned is placed on each wheel post (all 4 corners of
the scaffolding) [T2: part L]. For example, the table lists 2 ballast weights for a scaffold configuration. This means 2 weights of 5 kg
= 10 kg on each corner of the scaffolding (10x4= 40 kg total). The ballast weight holders can be used for installing the ballast weight
[T2: part M].
•
It is also permitted to apply the weights in an equivalent manner. For example, with an extra platform on the first rung and equip it
with the weights.
9. Moving the rolling tower
The rolling tower may only be moved while observing the following conditions:
1. Before moving the rolling tower, the height has to be reduced to a maximum of 6.2 metres.
2. Do not move a rolling tower in winds exceeding 12.7 m/s (max. 6 Beaufort).
3. When the rolling tower is moved, persons and/or materials may not remain on the rolling tower.
4. Beforehand, checks should be made that the environmental factors, such as swinging doors, canopies, pits, automatically functioning
awnings, aboveground electrical cables, traffic and/or passers-by, etc. do not lead to dangerous situations while the scaffold is
moved.
5. In order to move the scaffold, the stabilisers can only be raised to a maximum of 3 cm.
6. Before moving the rolling tower, all wheels must be removed from the brake.
7. Only move the scaffold manually in a lengthways direction, over a flat, horizontal and sufficiently load-bearing surface.
8. After moving the rolling tower, check all the points listed in Section 7 "Before Using".
