Your MX21 is shipped in a consolidated form to facilitate cost efficient freight. Usually, the Assembly of the unit
can be performed by the local Distributor, but if it is more practical, or preferred by the client, it may be done by
the end user, provided there are competent personnel on site to perform the task. To assemble it ready for use
is about a 90 minute job for Competent Personnel. Full instructions will come with the Unit for this procedure
and can also be found on Equiptec’s website at www.equiptec.co/instruction-manuals. Equiptec is available to
assist via video conference if required (during Business Hours, New Zealand time).
Note: It is a mandatory safety consideration that the MX21 is assembled precisely, and if undertaking
the assembly procedure, it is the new Owner’s responsibility to ensure all appropriate Equiptec assembly
instruction resources are made fully available and are followed absolutely correctly. If there is any
doubt about any aspect, contact Equiptec for advice before proceeding further. It is also a mandatory
requirement to submit the required photos and details of the assembly via the warranty registration
form . This allows Equiptec staff to check the correct procedure has been followed, and validate the
commencement of the standard Warranty.
The Equiptec Monkey MX21 (MX21) is designed to facilitate easy and simple Step type access to a variable
height platform. It incorporates a spacious platform that is sturdy, and as ergonomically safe as possible to
work from. The MX21 has a wide variety of Standard Accessories that can be added to it, and therefore can be
Customised in different ways.
A copy of this manual should remain with the MX21 at all times. Prior to using the MX21, the user should
familiarize his/herself fully with the contents, paying particular attention to the safety notes included as it is a
mandatory requirement that these are strictly followed.
To avoid confusion, Equiptec stipulates the official orientation of the MX21 as follows:
• Front - is the direction you face as you climb the Steps, looking towards the Platform
• Rear (or Back) - is the opposite to the Front direction
• Left and Right are defined from looking forward i.e. as you would when you climb the steps
Regular maintenance as per the maintenance schedule in this manual is also a necessary requirement. Details
from these mandatory checks must be submitted to Equiptec via the service checklist form, this can be
accessed by scanning the ‘scan to service me’ QR code located on the unit near the top of the stairs or via the
link the the service reminder E-mail. The MX21 comes with a 5 year Warranty which can be extended out to a
Lifetime Warranty provided every annual and biannual service is done in the due time, and a complete service
checklist form submitted to Equiptec.
Should the MX21 ever be sold, hired out or handed over to any third party for any reason, it is required that a
copy of this manual should also be passed over at the same time to ensure the new owner and/or operator
is aware of the operational needs, constraints, safety points, and maintenance requirements of the MX21
Platform.
