1.3 Maintenance - Storage – Transport

•The MiniMax mobile tower system is robust and requires little maintenance.

•All components and their parts should be regularly inspected to identify

damage, particularly to joints.

•Refer to the MiniMax Inspection Guidance for detailed inspection and

maintenance advice, the guidance is available to download at:

www.minimaxtower.com.

•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 0.6°. If not the optional adjustable leg kit must be

used. This allows adjustment up to 210mm.

•Only components speciﬁed in this manual shall be used with MiniMax 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.

•Adjustable legs should only be used for levelling purposes and never to gain

extra height.

•Ensure distance from the ground to ﬁrst climbing rung is less than 400mm.

•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.

5mm

PN00063300_Minimax_IM_RevD 0522.indd 4PN00063300_Minimax_IM_RevD 0522.indd 4 01/06/2022 10:5401/06/2022 10:54

•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).

•Check this manual is available and its contents familiar to all those involved.

•If assembling outdoors; check the forecast windspeed.

º The assembled tower is certiﬁed to wind forces

equating to 27mph, but handling components under

those conditions would be hazardous.

º 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.

SP4 and SP10 stabilisers must always be fully extended.

Position the lower clamp so that the arm is as close to horizontal as possible. Adjust

the position of the top clamp to ensure the stabiliser foot is in ﬁrm contact with the

ground. Ensure the clamps are secure.

2.5 Adjustable Legs

If the ground is uneven or sloping you will need to ﬁt

adjustable legs. Turn the base unit upside down so

that the wheels are facing upwards. We recommend

that two persons are required to ease the process.

Using a 19mm spanner loosen the ﬁxing bolt and

remove the castor from the base.

Follow the instructions in the adjustable leg pack to

change the large castor spigot to the smaller one supplied in the

pack. Insert the castor into an adjustable leg and then retighten

the ﬁxing bolt with the spanner, following the instructions. Repeat

this process for the other castors and adjustable legs. Insert the

four leg and castor assemblies into the base unit.

Turn the base the correct way up with the wheels on the ground.

Use a spirit level to check the base unit is level.

Adjust the legs as necessary, to level the base unit.

Important - Only use the adjustable legs to level the base

and not to gain extra height.
