Assembly Instructions

Deluxe safety equipment works nearly the same as the budget system, there are two receivers on the panel that secure to stack pins in the same manner a female safety pole would. 7’ safety rails are replaced by 7’ double safety rail, which is the same two rails welded together by way of two ribs for a more secure assembly – all with same attachment configuration.

Important Note

When going to height with scaffolding, it is important that the scaffold is secure during from the erection process to disassembly. This can be accomplished by use of outriggers, as described below, but also by use of tie bars and safety wires. Please make sure you are up to code based on your local regulations. It is important to note that at height one of the three is necessary.

Grouser Bars:

• Grouser bars are used to keep a rolling towers shape, they are secured on inside of tower by attaching to one main vertical tube and its diagonal opposite.
• Towers should utilize one grouser bar for every 15’ of tower and grouser bars should never be more than 15’ apart.
• All rolling towers ought to have a grouser placed near the wheels at the base, as this is where the most shifts will occur. Working up, grousers should be placed so that they meet the minimum one per 15’ rule.

Outriggers:

• Outriggers add stability to towers that would otherwise have an unsafe height to base area ratio.
• Scaffolding tower rules vary depending on regulations for a given area. Always check with OSHA to ensure your base area to tower height ratio is met, which is accomplished by use of outriggers.
• Outriggers should be secured at all connection points, where they connect to the frames by tube clamps, bolts should be securely tightened with proper tools.
• Also secure whatever footing materials are used (base plates, wheels and jacks) the same as if they were a main vertical of the frame. Check to ensure the outriggers are bearing load, and not hanging freely or only resting near the ground.

Internal Stair Units:

1. If tower includes internal stair unit, a start bar must be placed at the base of the bottom set, between bottom of frame and jacks.
2. Start bars are placed with the extended end of the vertical tubes towards the ground, this will render the configuration such that it is as if the lower hooks are resting on the top of a lower frame.
3. Accomplish attachment by running stem of jack up through receiver in start bar and into main vertical tube of frame. Start bar will increase slightly the height of one side of the tower. Adjust jacks to keep opposite side heights level.
4. Internal stair units should be erected and secured at each level of a tower as the tower is built.
5. Stair units are installed by passing the high end of the unit through the middle of the tower up over the main horizontals, allowing the low end’s hooks to be maneuvered over where they will rest on the start bar.
6. Rest the low hooks at their position on start bar first, and then allow top hooks to lie down over high horizontal tubing of opposite frame.
7. If available, secure our internal stair clamps with proper tools and tighten scurely.
8. Handrails may be set in place at this point and bolts tightened securely at receivers.
9. Place 28” wide internal stair platform at highest point and continuing to erect by carefully passing stairs up to next level and repeating the erection process with two minor differences.
   • No start bar as low hooks will now rest on the next lowest frames highest horizontal tube.
   • Hooks will be placed opposite where they will eventually be secured, because that is where platform will allow erector to work. Once hooks are laid over tubes at both high and low points, stairs can be slid into place, secured the same way by internal stair clamp, and the process repeated.
10. When highest stair unit is secure, pass ledger bar and accompanying safety components to height. Ledger bar will be set and secured in place via tightened tube clamps just between the highest stair unit’s inner-most hook and the 28” platform, with the male attachment points protruding upwards, perpendicular to the ground.
11. Attach female safety poles to ledger by sliding receiving end down over vertical attachment points and secure with a pigtail.
12. Attach short safety rails horizontally parallel to the ground by connecting at attachment points on female safety poles.
13. Check connection points and stair clamps to make sure everything is secure.
