1.2 Tower Designation
1.2 Maintenance - Storage – Transport
• The Werner mobile tower system is robust and requires little maintenance.
• All components and their parts should be regularly inspected to identify
damage, particularly to joints.
• Threads, hinges, and brace latches may be lubricated with light oil. Ensure
oil does not contaminate climbing or walking surfaces.
• Safety labels should be kept legible. Replacement labels are available from
Werner UK Sales & Distribution Ltd.
• Surfaces should be kept reasonably free of dried paint, plaster etc.
• Use of solvents on wooden platform surfaces and plastic components
should be avoided.
• Components should be stored in clean, dry conditions with due care to
prevent damage.
• During transportation ensure components are not damaged by excessive
strapping forces.

2. Building The Tower
2.1 Pre-Assembly Checks
• Check overhead that the area into which the structure is to be erected
contains no obstructions, particularly electrical or radio radiation hazards.
The structure is conductive.
• Ensure the ground on which the mobile access tower is to be erected is
capable of supporting the tower in use.
• Check the surface is level to within 0.6°. If it is larger than 0.6°, the tower
must not be used.
• Only components specified in this manual shall be used with Werner
towers. Check all required components are onsite and in a suitable working
condition.
• Damaged components shall not be used and must
be put beyond use and disposed of according to local
regulations.
• Only climb the tower from the inside using the access
method provided.
• This tower provides a work platform. It must not be
used to access other structures.
• Tower scaffolds are not designed to be lifted or suspended.
• Ensure the safe working load on the structure is not exceeded.
• Tools and materials 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 prefabricated tower
scaffold (i.e. within the area bounded by the stabilisers).

TOWER
• Check this manual is available and its contents familiar to all those involved.
• If assembling outdoors; check the forecast windspeed.
• The assembled tower is certified to wind forces
equating to 27mph, but handling components
under those conditions would be hazardous.
• Also consider the wind funnelling effect of
nearby buildings.
• This structure is designed to be self-supporting under the loading
condition requirements of EN 1004-1:2020 and does not require tying in.
Consideration should be given to potential wind conditions if the tower is left
unattended.

in accordance with this instruction manual. Deviation from this instruction
manual is not permitted.
• Tools required:
• Two double ended spanners, 10/13mm (supplied)

standing on the platform.
• Fit braces in the locations described and ensure
the claws are locked.
• DO NOT stand on an unprotected platform
• The tower may be assembled by a single person, but it is recommended
that two or more are used to pass up components on the taller assemblies.
• Components must be lifted within the footprint of the tower using a reliable
method such as a strong rope with a clove hitch knot.
• Castor brakes should be locked as soon as the tower base is in position.
• The tower base should be levelled to within 0.6° before continuing the
