SECTION 1.1 Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This Assembly Guide contains the necessary information required to correctly assemble
Turner OCTO®System Scaffolds in accordance with appropriate methods of safe assembly.
The provision and utilisation of collective protection equipment and methodology is
recommended where practicable for installers of Turner OCTO®System Scaffolding.
Installers / Dismantlers of Turner OCTO®System Scaffolding must also be competent,
relative to the type of scaffold to be erected, dismantled or altered.
This Assembly Guide provides instruction for foot tied, non-foot tied, and pedestrian
categories (as listed within the Assembly Guide) built from the ground or other suitable
foundation.
Types of Turner OCTO® System standard conguration included within this Assembly Guide
are detailed on the Contents Page and limited to the maximum heights as indicated in
Section 1.7 Maximum Heights (page 57).
This Assembly Guide should be used in conjunction with a suitable Risk Assessment and
Method Statement (by user) relative to the project to be undertaken. It must be noted that
all employers have a responsibility to ensure that work methods (practices) and adequate
facilities / resources (including work equipment) are provided to eliminate or minimise risks,
in accordance with current legislation.
A complete separate safe system of work (Method Statement) is required for all other types
of scaffold.
Sufcient training, combined with necessary experience, must also be considered and be
appropriate to achieve competency to build or dismantle a particular scaffold type in question.
Please ensure you read and fully understand the manual, and follow the content during
scaffold erection and ensure that the scaffold is complete prior to use and / or handover.
This Manual must be made available to the user / installer of the Turner OCTO®Scaffold
System at all times.
Only competent and qualied personnel should undertake assembly, dismantling and
alteration (and organisation, planning and supervision) of basic Turner OCTO®standard
congurations, and consideration should be given to providing additional (minimum) training
beforehand, if required.

SECTION 1.2 Pre-use Inspection & Selection
1.2 PRE-USE INSPECTION & SELECTION
To ensure that a scaffold is assembled in a manner that prevents its component parts from
being accidentally displaced at any time, it is important that the following checks are carried
out:
• Ensure that all necessary components and safety equipment are available and
operational.
• Each component should be visually inspected prior to use and should be free from
defects.
• Steel components should be straight with no sign of corrosion, cracks or splits that
would impair strength or safety.
• Deck locks should be in good working order; hooks should be free of cracks and
corrosion, and bolts should be tight and locking nuts tted.
• Stiles or Ply inserts should not be punctured or worn to a degree that would impair
strength or safety.
Damaged or incorrect components must not be used.
Pre-use inspection should ONLY be carried out by a competent person.

Note If the Horizontal and Standard
are not level and plumb, the Wedge
may be difcult to drive.
1. Turn the Horizontal upside
down at an angle of approx.
45° and shake.
2. The Wedge and Saddle will
then automatically fall back
into the preset position.
4. Slide the Saddle over to the
Standard.
7. To de-mount Horizontal,
drive Wedge vertically upwards
to loosen.
8. Lift the Wedge clear, slide
Saddle backwards and lift
Horizontal from cup.

4. Drive vertically until level
with the top of the Guardrail.
6. Lift the Wedge clear, rest on
ledge and lift Guardrail from cup.
1. Preset Guardrail by lifting
Wedge and resting it on ledge
within the Guardrail.
Note Saddle will hang loosely leaving
space to t hook into cup.
2. Locate top and bottom
hooks of Guardrail in cups
(0.5m apart). Hint Tap lower hook
with hammer to ensure that it is
properly located in cup.
3. Lift Wedge clear of ledge
within the Guardrail to the
Vertical position and allow to
drop and loosely engage.
