TELETOWER

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The TELETOWER® is a versatile tower or podium designed for DIY, trade, and professional use. It is made from anodised aluminum or fiberglass and is built to endure tough conditions. The manual provides essential instructions for optimal performance and safety.

Safety
Safety is crucial, and users must read the safety instructions before assembly or use. The TELETOWER® complies with the Work at Height Regulations of 2005. Key safety considerations include a maximum load of 150 kg, removing the platform when adjusting height or collapsing the unit, and wearing a hard hat during assembly.

Main Features
The TELETOWER® offers seven working heights from 0.33m to 2m, can be erected in under three minutes by one person, and is easily transportable. It consists of three main parts: the main assembly, platform, and toe boards, and conforms to EN1004 standards.

In the Box
The package includes the main assembly, lockable castors with stabilisers, an instruction manual, and optional toe boards for certain models.

Getting Started
The manual details the use of lock indicator buttons and the fitting of castors and stabilisers. It explains the deployment of ground stabiliser legs and the importance of ensuring all components are secure before use.

Assembly Procedures

Erecting the Safety Cage: Involves unlocking castors, releasing fabric straps, and lifting rungs to lock the safety cage in place.
Fitting the Platform: The platform must be mounted on RUNG 3, with specific instructions for handling and securing it.

Specifications
The manual provides detailed specifications for each model, including materials and dimensions.

Warranty
Information on warranty coverage and the availability of spare parts is provided, with a recommendation to visit the website for more details.

Platform Assembly and Safety Instructions

1. Platform Setup
The platform should be placed on RUNG 3, ensuring the location brackets sit over the rung and inside the guides. Safety catches secure the platform to RUNG 3. The platform level is set at 1 meter.

2. Fitting the Toe Board
The toe board consists of six sections with fixing brackets and screws. Front and rear boards have locating pins, while side boards have lugs that fit into slots. The assembly involves aligning and securing these components.

3. Deploying Platform Stabilisers
Stabilisers must be deployed when the platform height is 1.50 meters or more. They are adjustable to three lengths, with a color-coded system for correct extension. The stabilisers lock onto brackets two rungs below the platform.

4. Setting Platform Height
Platform height can be adjusted from 1.00 to 2.00 meters. The platform should be fitted at the required height, and removed before lowering the structure. Specific procedures are outlined for each height increment.

5. Collapsing the TELETOWER®
Before collapsing, remove the platform and toe board, and stow the stabilisers. The structure is collapsed by releasing locking mechanisms starting from RUNG 7 downwards. Safety warnings emphasize not releasing both buttons on a rung simultaneously and avoiding placing hands on moving rungs.

Assembly and Disassembly Procedures

Collapsing the Safety Cage: Follow a step-by-step process to collapse the safety cage by sequentially releasing buttons on each rung, starting from RUNG 7 down to RUNG 1.
Setting Up the Podium: Begin with the TELETOWER® fully collapsed. Unlock castors, unfasten straps, unfold the frame, and lock the gate. Adjust the frame and platform according to the desired height (33 cm or 61 cm).

Podium Setup Options

Option 1 and 2: Involves lifting RUNG 1 to lock the hand guardrail and adjusting handrails and knee rails for safety.
Ground Stabilisers: Unlock castors, position stabiliser legs, and ensure the podium is horizontal and secure before use.

LOCK INDICATOR BUTTONS The red and yellow buttons are used to show that the lock mechanisms are engaged or not when erecting the TELETOWER®. At all height settings, the yellow buttons should always be in the locked position i.e. guard rails should be in place, see page 9. At the 2 metre height setting, all yellow and red buttons should be in their locked position. The locking mechanism of a rung is situated at each end of the rung immediately below it. As a rung is lifted, it automatically locks to the frame when it is in the correct position. When this happens an audible 'click' will be heard....

Fitting the castors To fit the castors carry out the following. 1. Carefully lay the fully collapsed main assembly (without platform) in a horizontal position on the floor or on a bench. Take a castor/stabiliser leg and slide the castor shaft into position on the main assembly. Push the red button on RUNG 9 away from the castor and push the castor shaft fully in and rotate until the castor is adjacent to rung 9. Release the button and if necessary rotate it a little further until you hear the lock-pin click into place, which locks the stabiliser in this position. PART OF FRAME CASTOR RELEASE...
