Assembly Procedure
Safety First
This tower structure must be assembled, and components
oriented, in accordance with this instruction manual.
Deviation from this instruction manual is not permitted.
A minimum of two persons are recommend for assembly and
disassembly of this prefabricated tower structure. The maximum
number of persons permitted on the tower during assembly is
stated in the safety data schedule.
Platforms must be installed with vertical distances between them
not exceeding 2m when assembling and dismantling.
The maximum number of people on a working platform level
permitted to simultaneously exert a horizontal load of 30kg is:
- 1 person per bay for bays less than 4m long and
- 2 persons per bay for bays greater than 4m in length
Check that all components, tools and safety equipment are on
site (refer to quantity schedule), undamaged and that they are
functioning correctly, particularly the brace claw locking mechanism.
Full inspection guidance can be found at www.bossaccesstowers.com.
Damaged or incorrect components shall not be used.
Component weights can be found in the quantity schedule and on
the corresponding BoSS Product Datasheets.
Check that the ground on which the tower structure is to be erected
and moved is capable of supporting the tower in use and within the
levelling limits of the tower system.
Check overhead that the area into which the tower structure is to be built
contains no obstructions, particularly electrical or radio radiation hazards.
Never stand on an unguarded platform positioned above the
rst rung of a tower structure. If your risk assessment shows it
necessary, you may also need to guardrail platforms at this level.
Tower components should be lifted using a reliable lifting material (e.g.
a strong rope) employing a reliable knot (e.g. clove hitch) to ensure
safe fastening and always lift within the footprint of the tower structure.
‘Tower Designation & Safety Data’ content for the ‘Tower
Designation Information Assembly’ can be found in the ‘Safety
Data Schedule’. This assembly must be positioned at the base of
the prefabricated tower scaffold and clearly visible for users. Refer
to Safety Data Schedule for content.
Adjustable legs should only be used for levelling purposes and
never to gain extra height.
