4. Assembly
4.1 General
The mobile scaffold tower must only be assembled once the personnel involved have read the product information
(section 2) and safety instructions (section 3) in full. Assembling and disassembling the tower requires at least 2 persons.
Mobile scaffold towers with a height in excess of 6 metres require 3 persons to assemble. Only use original parts in
compliance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Pages 116 and 117 contain a table with the individual steps for assembling the scaffold. Please note that
certain steps may have to be repeated multiple times. For this reason, please make sure to perform all of the
individual steps shown for your scaffold, which will depend on your scaffold's height. A detailed explanation
of the individual steps can be found from section 12 onwards.
* If you want to create lower, straight working heights (e.g. 6.30 m) with the packages of odd working heights
(e.g. 7.30 m), you also need 2 pieces of diagonal braces and, for the 1000 and 5000 series, the access aid
art. no. 703972 and 1 x art.-No. 702517 (2,00 m) / 702500 (2,50 m).
INFORMATION ON USING THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Assembly Instructions describe how to assemble the STABILO
figurations. Please read the entire assembly instructions before assembly and take note of the differences between the
different assembly options. Depending on the height of the topmost working platform, the mobile scaffold tower will either
have to be fitted with ballast weights (version A – page 127) or outriggers (version B – page 127). Please read the
corresponding information in this manual.
