Additional Instructions When Using Towers; Checklist For The Use Of Towers - Altrex RS TOWER 34 Manuel D'utilisation

I I.II Additional instructions when
using towers
• When working with towers, safety shoes, working
gloves and a safety helmet should be worn.
• Never ascend the tower on the outside and never
stand on the braces.
• Never raise the height of the work platform
through the use of stairs, crates, etc, figure 1.
• The base dimensions of the platforms may not be
increased in any way.
• The use of hoisting gear on or for the tower is not
permitted (figure 2); this can seriously affect the
stability. Tower parts and tools may only be trans-
ported manually to the work platform, for example,
using a rope and a bucket.
• If the tower is to be placed on a soft surface, ground
protection plates or U-profiles should be placed
underneath the wheels, figure 3.
• Particular attention should be paid to the wind
load in areas that are affected by the wind, for ex-
ample, open constructions and at the corners of a
building. In the event of a wind force in excess of
14 m/s (max. 6 Beaufort), plus at the end of the
working day, the rolling tower must be moved to a
wind-free place, figure 4.
• No additional work platforms or other objects may
be attached to the outside of the standard tower.
• Stages may not be mounted between the tower
and a building.
• The tower must not be out of the perpendicular in
excess of 1%. Therefore, at a height of 4 meters, the
deviation may not exceed 4 cm.
• Take sufficient measures against weather influ-
ences that will help to ensure safe working on the
tower.
• Take sufficient measures against environmental
factors that will help to ensure safe working on the
tower.
• Use guardrailing when this is required from a safety
or legislative point of view.
• Never leave the tower unsupervised. Make sure
that unauthorised individuals cannot gain access
to the tower.
• The use of a combination of tower parts of different
brands/manufacturers is not permitted.
• The workplace around the tower has to be cor-
doned off using cones and/or marking tape.
• Make sure that safe working with the tower is al-
ways given priority.
• A minimum of 2 people should always be used to
assemble a tower, figure 5.
Relax. It's an Altrex.
• Position the stablizer if required. It is not compulso-
ry below a height of 2.5 m; however, for work with
signifcant horizontal forces, this is recommended.

II.III Checklist for the use of towers
When an assembled tower is (re)used, the following
should always be checked:
1. That the tower is the correct one for the intended
use.
2. That the immediate vicinity in which the tower is
assembled allows for safe use.
3. That the tower can still be used safely.
4. That the quality of the surface is horizontal, flat
and sufficiently loadbearing.
5. That the environmental factors, such as opening
doors, automatically working sun blinds, above-
ground electrical cables, traffic and/or passers-
by, etc., do not lead to dangerous situations.
6. That there is sufficient free space to be able to as-
semble and use the tower safely.
7. That all required parts and safety tools are avail-
able at the workplace.
8. That no damaged parts or parts other than those
prescribed are used.
9. That the tower is assembled in accordance with
this manual and in conformity with the configu-
ration table.
10. That the maximum assembly height is not ex-
ceeded.
11. That it is easy to climb up the inside of the tower.
12. That the wheels are correctly attached, aligned,
and that the brake is applied.
13. That the frames are correctly assembled and
secured.
