General Operating Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Inspect scaffolds thoroughly before
use each day. Check all components
and Locking Pins before each use.
Do not use front-end loaders, forklifts
or similar pieces of equipment to
support scaffold platforms.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY,
DO NOT PERMIT PEOPLE OR EQUIPMENT ON
THE SCAFFOLD WHILE IT IS BEING MOVED.
1. Wheel the Scaffold to the area where it will
be used, grasping and pushing the scaffold
at points no higher than 5 feet off the floor
to help prevent tipping. The surface where
this Scaffold is placed must be capable
of supporting the loaded Scaffold without
settling or displacement. Use this Scaffold
on concrete or asphalt concrete only.
2. Lock the Swivel Casters (4) by depressing
the Lock Mechanism attached to each Wheel.
Pressing down on the end (marked ON),
locks the Swivel Caster (4). (Pressing down
where it says “OFF” unlocks the Caster.)
WARNING! ALL CASTERS MUST BE
LOCKED BEFORE USE TO PREVENT
MOVEMENT AND SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM INSTABILITY:
Use a level to verify that the scaffold
frame is plumb and level in all directions.
“Eyeballing” the straightness of the
scaffold is not accurate enough.
DANGER! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
AND DEATH:
Put on safety harness (not included) before
climbing onto Scaffold.
Do not use the End Frames (2) or any
other part of this Scaffold as a means
of climbing onto the Scaffold.
3. A ladder should normally be used to climb
onto the Scaffold. The ladder must be
positioned so as not to tip the Scaffold
when weight is placed against it. Any
“attachable” ladders used must be specifically
designed for this type of Scaffold. They must
clamp securely in place to the Scaffold and
any ladder used must be securely held in
place during use to prevent movement. Any
ladder (normal or stairway type) must meet
OSHA requirements for use with scaffolds.
4. If the Scaffold will be accessed directly
(such as from an opening in the side of a
building), it cannot be more than 14 inches
horizontally nor more than 24 inches
vertically from the other surface.
5. Each worker on a scaffold more than
10 feet above a lower level MUST be
protected from falling to that lower level.
Fall protection consists of either personal
fall arrest systems, or guardrail systems
meeting OSHA requirements.
6. For most activities, there must be no
more than a 14 inch gap between the
scaffold platform and the structure
being worked on. One exception is
when using for lathing and plastering.
For this, a gap of 18 inches is permitted.
7. If toe-boards, guardrails, or canopies
are used to prevent a “falling object”
hazard to passers-by, then the area
below the scaffold must be barricaded
and the danger clearly stated.
8. All plug-in electric tools used on the Scaffold
must be protected by a GFCI outlet or plug.
9. When finished using the Scaffold,
wipe down the Wooden Platform (3)
and all metal supports. Then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Note: Be aware of any grease, or oily
substance that possibly spilled on Wooden
Platform (3); wipe up immediately.
