🛠 Scaffolding Setup Procedure

• Fit adjustable bases with collars and loosely place them in position alongside their corresponding ledgers. • Choose the highest ground level as your reference point to simplify future adjustments. • Ensure the screw jack is positioned close to—but not at—the bottom of the thread. This provides maximum range for adjustment on uneven terrain.

• Attach ledgers to the rosettes on each base collar. • ⚠️ Do not drive the wedges home yet

• Use a spirit level to adjust the bases, ensuring the ledgers sit horizontally. • Precise leveling now prevents the need for further adjustments as the structure goes up.

• Lay two aluminum planks or four 255 mm (10") boards across each bay spanning the ledgers. • Work your way around the base to square up the system. • Once aligned and level, drive the wedges home.

• Insert the first standards into the collars of each base. • Place ledgers at the desired heights to define the initial lift. • Handrails will automatically align with the set ledgers.

• Move planks up to the first lift and fully deck out the platform if it will be used for work.

7. Bracing & Final Touches

• Install diagonal braces across the bay faces. • Secure all connections by hammering wedges firmly. • Finish by adding ledger midrails, handrails, and toe boards to complete the working platform.

📋 Pre-Setup Inspection

• Inspect All Components: Check bases, ledgers, standards, planks, and braces for damage, wear, or missing parts. • Confirm Ground Conditions: Ensure soil or surface is stable enough to support scaffolding loads, especially on sloped or soft terrain

🔒 Safety Precautions

• PPE Check: Make sure all workers are equipped with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (helmets, gloves, safety boots, etc.). • Clear Work Area: Remove debris, obstructions, and any overhead hazards before beginning setup.

📐 Post-Leveling Verification

• Double-Check Alignment: After squaring and leveling, recheck using a spirit level and measuring tape to confirm horizontal and vertical alignment across bays. • Mark Reference Points: Use chalk or tape to mark key setup points in case of adjustment or deconstruction.

🏗 Platform Load Prep

- Weight Distribution: Identify maximum allowable loads per platform area and ensure they're documented. • Tagging: Consider labeling each lift with signage indicating load limits, access points, and hazard warnings.
