3. GENERAL SAFETY RULES

- The ground support tower is an industrial element designed to raise loads vertically, it must
never be used as a platform elevator for people.
- Only place the ground support tower on firm flat grounds checking it is in vertical position.
Do not use wedges or any strange elements to balance the ground-support tower.
- Check legs are correctly assembled and secured by their safety pins.
- Never raise a load without first checking it is correctly supported and centred on the appro-
priate ground support tower supports, so the load only acts vertically.
- Never surpass the maximum load capacity indicated on the ground support tower characte-
ristics label and on this instruction manual.
- If there is a likelihood of strong wind or gusts, place the ground support tower on the ground
and secure it with the aid of straps.
Never fix a strap over a vehicle or any other element which might move.
- Never use a ladder over the ground support tower or lean against it for any kind of work.
- Beware of any kind of projection above the ground support tower like cornices, balconies,
luminous signs, etc. It is very important to avoid the presence of cables below the ground
support tower's working height.
- Never move the ground support tower when the load is raised. It is inadvisable to make any
kind of movement, even small positioning adjustments.
- Never use the ground support tower over any mobile surface or vehicle.
- Before using the ground support tower, check the cable's state, which must not present any
broken threads or compression. Never use defective cables and change cable if in doubt. Only
use steel cable as described on this manual.
- Fix the lever when the load is raised.
- All sections of the ground support tower must be lowered to transport it.
