ASSEMBLY GUIDE
FOR MI TOWER+
INTRODUCTION
MiTOWER+ is a safe, versatile and high quality tower. It can be built by ONE PERSON and provides a work
platform for up to TWO PEOPLE. It is designed in accordance with the latest testing and quality standards.
Our priority is to help ensure the safe operation of our products, so please pay particular attention to the safety
tips on pages 7 and 8.
We want you to enjoy the safe and responsible use of MiTOWER+ with the minimum of fuss and this guide is
designed to get you up and running as quickly and as safely as possible.
We recommend that you read this guide prior to assembling and using your MiTOWER+.

1 GUARDRAIL BRACE PANEL
Claws are tted to the guardrail brace panels and each has an automatic locking
jaw which is released by simply moving the jaw’s trigger. The claw must only be
attached to the frame with the opening facing outward. Attachment with the
jaw’s opening facing inward will not fully protect the user if lent upon and may
cause serious injury or death. Always ensure that each claw is positively locked in
position before using your MiTOWER+.
2 EASY-CLIP FRAME CLIPS
The frame clip’s pin locates into a retaining hole in the frames to lock tower
sections together when placed one on top of the other. The pin is locked in place
by a red tab to ensure that it remains in place. From the disengaged position,
pivot the pin / tab to bring the pin horizontal. Insert the pin fully through the
retaining hole with its tail pointing down. Next ip the tab vertically to lock the
pin in place. Removal is simply a reversal of the tting sequence.
3 EASY-LOCK STABILISER
The coupler clamps are used to secure the stabilisers to MiTOWER+’s vertical
tubing. With the clamp jaw open, oer it to the tube. Bring the jaw around the
tube and set the buckle on to the hook, then close the clamp arm to lock the
stabiliser in position. A similar clamp is tted to the stabiliser extension leg.
4 WIND-LOCK CATCH
The wind-lock catch is a drop down jaw tted to the side of the hatch platform’s
mounting hook and prevents the platform from lifting in windy conditions. It is
attached to the horizontal tube of the frame. To disengage, simply lift and hold
the jaw as you raise the platform clear.
5 PLATFORM WITH BUILT IN EASY-HANG HANGERS
To enable one man to erect MiTOWER+, each hatch platform is tted with four
component hangers which are stowed (two either side) within the platform’s
frame. The hangers can be extended when needed and retracted when not.
To extend and lock a hanger, take a hold of the hanger stop end and pull from
the frame. Once the stop rivet is clear of the slot, turn the hanger 45 degrees
anticlockwise then gently slide back in until it stops. To retract the hanger, simply
reverse the procedure.
6 ADJUSTABLE LEG AND CASTOR
The adjustable leg and castor allows for accurate positioning of your MiTOWER+
in relation to your workplace. The leg can be extended or retracted to allow for
levelling and the brake must be applied to prevent movement.

ALWAYS Read and understand this guide before you begin assembly.
Ensure that all safety requirements are met and that MiTOWER+ is the correct access solution
for the task you wish to perform.
Ensure that MiTOWER+ is assembled and dismantled by a qualied, competent person.
Cordon o the work area creating a zone with a radius that is 1m greater than the total height
of MiTOWER+.
Wear the correct Personal Protective Equipment for the task being performed. Gloves, steel
toecap boots, a hard hat and suitable clothing must be worn by all persons.
Tie back long hair and remove items of loose jewellery.
Perform a full risk assessment prior to assembling or using MiTOWER+ and abide by your
ndings.
Prevent access to unauthorised persons if you have no ohter option but to leave MiTOWER+
unattended and if this is not possible then MiTOWER+ must be dismantled.
Carry tools and materials safely retained in a tool belt that allows freedom of movement.
Ensure you properly assess the risk/method if tools or materials are hoisted to the platform via
a rope.
Access platforms from within MiTOWER+ and via the 4 rung frames positioned at the platform’s
trap door end. Keep your feet in the middle of the rungs and grip the upper rungs with your
hands.
Erect MiTOWER+ on smooth level ground that is capable of supporting its own weight, the user
and any tools or materials without subsidence.

NEVER Use MiTOWER+ if you don’t understand something in this guide; please contact the supplier
for advice.
Assemble, use, move or dismantle MiTOWER+ if you are tired or unwell or if you are under the
inuence of alcohol or drugs.
Use MiTOWER+ in adverse weather conditions which may endanger the user.
Use in wind conditions of Beaufort Force 5 and above. Please be aware of the tunnel eect
caused by buildings close to each other.
Assemble or use MiTOWER+ near overhead hazards such as power lines that are within reach
of MiTOWER+ or the user.
Ascend or descend your MiTOWER+ if both hands are not free.
Add banners, notice boards, etc. to MiTOWER+.
Use MiTOWER+ if contaminated by paint, chemicals, etc.
Overload the platforms (see component matrix page 5).
Suspend MiTOWER+ from another structure.
Lean from MiTOWER+ and never apply undue side force.
Stand on the guardrails, toe boards, boxes (or similar) to gain extra height. If the working
height is insucient either construct MiTOWER+ to the required height or use an alternative
method.
Use damaged components in your MiTOWER+ assembly.

PREPARATION
The oor area must be clear of any obstructions including materials and debris. Check that you have all the
components necessary to construct the tower height you require. Check also each component for condition
and correct function. If any part is missing or damaged/not working correctly it must be replaced before
assembling the tower.
3T (THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR) SYSTEM
The 3T method of construction has been developed to reduce the risk of an erector falling from a tower
during construction. The erector must sit on the platform with legs through the hatch and feet on the
frame rungs when attaching guardrail brace panels above the platform. This ensures the erector is always
protected by a set of guardrail brace panels.
TYING IN
You should consider tying in the tower to add to stability, but this may only be carried out by a suitably
trained person.
BALLAST
Where shown in the component list, ballast must be used to stabilise against overturning. Only use solid
materials as ballast (i.e. no loose materials) and position to avoid overloading individual components. Ballast
should be supported by the base of your MiTOWER+ and securely fastened to prevent removal.
ASSEMBLY GUIDE
These instructions must always be made available to the user. If replacement copies are required, please
contact your supplier.
DAMAGED COMPONENTS
Regularly inspect all components for damage. Damaged components must be quarantined so that they
cannot be used. Where safe to do so, the component can be repaired but only by a qualied repairer. If in
doubt contact your supplier for advice.
DISMANTLING YOUR MI TOWER+
MiTOWER+ is easily dismantled by simply reversing the erection procedure. Make sure that the component
hangers are evenly loaded to ensure your MiTOWER remains balanced. You must, however, be protected
by guardrail brace panels when standing on any platform and ensure that you use the 3T method when
removing guardrail brace panels.
