5. Inspection upon delivery
Upon receipt, check that the tower scaffolding is complete and undamaged.
Contact your supplier immediately if you notice that the components of the tower
scaffolding are damaged or if the components that have been delivered are
incomplete.
6. Safety instructions
6.1. Check before assembly
Verify whether the personnel assembling the scaffolds are sufficiently qualified and that
the place where the tower scaffolding is to be erected is safe and suitable.
Caution:
The ground must be sufficiently load-bearing and flat;
The space must be free of obstacles, both on the ground and above ground;
Verify whether the wind conditions allow safe use of the scaffolding;
Check to make sure that you have all the components at the workplace;
Never use damaged, incorrect or non-original components;
Be aware of possible electrical hazards.
6.2. Personal protective equipment
Always wear work gloves, safety shoes and a safety helmet.
6.3. Assembly
The assembly of the mobile scaffold tower must be carried out by at least 2 persons.
Please note the following:
a) User training courses cannot be a substitute for instruction manuals but only
complement them;
b) Only the original Custers components specified in this manual shall be used;
c) Damaged or incorrect components shall not be used;
d) This product shall only be used according to the instruction manual
e) Mobile access and working towers designed in accordance with EN1004-1 are
not anchor points for personal fall arrest equipment;
f) Working is only permitted on a platform with a complete side protection
including guardrails and toe boards.
Use leading guardrail frames during the assembly to prevent persons from falling:
when you stand on a platform you must be protected by guardrails on hip and knee
level on all four sides.

The mobile scaffold tower must be erected flat with a maximum inclination of 1% (a
maximum of 1 cm inclination over a length of 1 metre); check this with a spirit level;
correction is possible by tightening the spindle nuts of the casters. The casters must
always be in locked position, except for relocating the scaffold. Make sure that the
casters are locked, either by tightening the wing nut, or by tilting the locking tab over
the cantilevered edge of the chord stiffener.
The platforms must be secured by sliding the pawl of the blow-away protection under
the rung. The frames must be secured using locking pins in the lowest holes in the
uprights in order to fix the spigot pen of the frame underneath.

Horizontal braces/guardrails must preferably be positioned on the uprights in such a
way that the openings of the claws point outwards.

There must always be at least 1 platform with hatch on the working level;
the working level must be fitted with: guardrail, knee railing and toe boards all around.
There must always be at least one platform with a hatch on the resting level. The
resting level must be fitted all around with guardrails and knee railings and must be
installed every 2 metres.
A resting level is converted into a working level through the installation of toe boards all
around.
Be aware that one level only shall be a working platform at one time.
It is to be taken into account that the correct platform height in relation to the
required work should be selected.
On a working platform a maximum of two persons are permitted.
The horizontal and diagonal braces have a self-locking claw. To unlock, just push the
coloured plastic part inwards and the brace can be removed.

6.4. Lifting up components
Lifting up components onto higher areas should be done by passing the components
from platform to platform. Parts can also be lifted upwards with a sturdy rope. Use a
proper knot, loop or hook to secure the components. Hoisting equipment may not be
attached to the scaffold.
6.5. Outriggers and stabilizers
The outriggers (arch shaped stabilizer that allows a castor to be attached) /stabilizers
specified in the table must always be fitted once the lower edge of the scaffold has
been erected. During assembly, the upper sides of the outriggers / stabilizers must be
connected to the underside of the rungs in order to prevent them from sliding upwards
unintentionally.
The basic form to be used, i.e. the outrigger to be used (small or large), can be read
in the composition tables.
The basic forms shown below must be strictly adhered to!
If the designated form is different, ballast weights may be required; please contact the
manufacturer/supplier for this. Small outriggers may be replaced by small stabilizers
and large outriggers by large stabilizers, provided that the use of stabilizer follows the
same basic form as the outriggers. This means that the stabilizers, when viewed from
the top, must be mounted in the same position as the outriggers.
