2. Insert pole connector into either top of lower pole or
bottom of the upper pole allowing button locks on
pole connector to engage into holes located on side of
pole. It will be necessary to depress button locks so
they can bypass end surface of pole. Ensure button
locks are securely snapped into holes to lock pole
connector in position.
3. Insert remaining exposed end of pole connector into
second pole and ensure button locks are fully
engaged.
4. Inspect to ensure rubber surfaces mate together
without more than a 3/8" gap and without
overlapping or bulging.
RAISING SCAFFOLD PLATFORM
1. Ensure crank handle
mechanism is locked into
position with locking teeth
engaged. Crank handle
mechanism must be locked
during use and raising
of scaffold platform.
2. While standing on the scaffold
platform and facing pole, place
foot under the strap
on upper foot lever and
pump to raise system
until scaffold platform is
raised approximately
one foot.
3. Repeat procedure
with additional pump
jacks in system until
desired height is reached. Maximum allowable
working height is 48'.
WARNING! WORK MUST ALWAYS BE PERFORMED
ON A LEVEL PLATFORM TO AVOID INJURY.
4. Return pump jack foot lever to fully up position for
use.
LOWERING SCAFFOLD PLATFORM
1. While standing on scaffold platform and facing pole,
confirm upper foot lever is in fully up position and
crank handle mechanism is locked into position.
2. Using right foot fully depress
upper foot lever.
WARNING! PRESSURE
MUST BE MAINTAINED
ON UPPER FOOT LEVER
DURING STEP 3. FAILURE
TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE
WILL ALLOW THE UPPER
FOOT LEVER TO ROTATE
RAPIDLY UPWARD AND MAY CAUSE INJURY.
3. While holding onto pole, place
left foot on lower foot lever.
Push and hold to point of release.
4. Rotate crank handle outward to
disengage locking teeth.
5. Rotate crank handle in a clockwise
direction to lower system
approximately one foot.
6. Rotate crank handle back into
locked position with teeth
engaged. Release lower foot
lever to re-engage. Ensure upper foot lever is
returned to fully up position.
minimum of 12 inches. Support at overlap with
rigid support. Platform overhang and overlap must
meet OSHA and all applicable federal, state, and
local codes.
3. Secure scaffold platform to each pump jack using
chain and hardware provided. Chain shall be routed
around scaffold platform rung and around each of
the spacers, which are integral to the pump jack as
shown in the figure below. Chain may be secured to
platform
support end
plate using
the provided
chain quick
link. A padlock
may be used for
added security.
4. Always install pump jack system so scaffold platform
used for standing or working is level.
5. Do not install a scaffold platform more than 14"
from working wall. There shall be no opening
greater than 14" anywhere surrounding the working
person.
INSTALLATION OF INTERMEDIATE BRACES TO POLE
WARNING! ANY APPLICATION OVER 24' HIGH
REQUIRES THE USE OF INTERMEDIATE SUPPORT
BRACES HAVING A MAXIMUM VERTICAL SPACING OF
16'. SOMEONE COMPETENT SHALL ENSURE THAT ALL
BRACES ARE ATTACHED TO SOLID MATERIAL WITH
ADEQUATE HOLDING POWER. A MINIMUM TORQUE OF
5 FT/LBS. SHOULD BE REQUIRED ON THE SCREW HEAD
USED TO SECURE THE BRACE.
1. Secure support brace to pole at required height.
2. Push support brace out to a vertical surface. It is
very important that the surface is vertical to ensure
pump jack will not bind on pole while in use.
3. Fasten support brace to structure using at least four
screws with a minimum holding strength equivalent
to 1/4" x 3" type AB screws.
PASSING AN INTERMEDIATE BRACE
1. In order to pass a support brace that is already
installed, a temporary support brace should be
installed approximately 4 feet above support brace
to be passed.
2. Worker should assume a position on scaffold
platform which allows the first support brace to be
released and reattached.
3. Release support brace from pole.
4. Once pump jack has been moved past the support
brace, the support brace should be reattached to
pole and the temporary support brace can be
removed.
INSTALLATION OF POLE CONNECTOR TO JOIN
POLES TOGETHER
1. Orient two poles with rubber facing in the same
direction and v-shaped rubber protruding from top
of lower pole to mate with v-shaped cut on bottom
of upper pole (see figures below).
