1 USER S manual HAKI UNIVERSAL International version HAKI AB 2014

2 Important information HAKI s product liability and erection instructions apply only to scaffolds that are entirely composed of components that have been made and supplied by HAKI. HAKI s type examination certificate applies only to scaffolds whose materials, dimensions and design accord with those specified in the documentation upon which this certificate is based. HAKI s scaffold systems must not be erected using components of makes other than HAKI or be connected to scaffolds of makes other than HAKI. In such cases, a special study of load-bearing capacity must be carried out. However, HAKI has no objection to the customary addition of scaffold tubes and approved couplers to the scaffold. Adding components from different suppliers may invalidate the insurance cover. HAKI reserves the right to make technical modifications on a continual basis. A user s manual should be provided to the user together with the scaffolding. The latest versions of HAKI user s manuals can be downloaded from our website, For scaffold structures that are not covered by these erection instructions, please contact HAKI s technical department. HAKI colour code Horizontals and diagonals are marked with their nominal sizes (bay sizes) and a colour code. The marking is a useful means of identification when erecting and handling the scaffold material Forces and dimensions 1000 N = 1 kn ~ 100 kg 10 N ~ 1 kg All measurements in mm Copyright HAKI AB, 2014 The reproduction of text and pictures/illustrations without HAKI s permission is prohibited. 2

3 basic information HAKI Universal The modular scaffold has been type examined by SP Swedish National Testing and Research Institute in accordance with Ordinance AFS 1990:12 of the Swedish National Board of Occupational Safety and Health Code of Statutes and SS-EN Certificate No for load classes 1-6 ( kn/m 2 ).

11 Informat ion on safety when erect ing and dismantling 1. Before erecting or dismantling a scaffold, try to fence off the working area if possible. 2. The location for the scaffold must be checked in order to prevent risks when erecting, dismantling and moving the scaffold and to ensure that work can be carried out safely with regard to level and slope, obstacles and wind conditions. 3. Make sure that all lifting equipment to be used, e.g. chain hoists, lifting ropes, pulley blocks, etc., has been thoroughly tested and approved by an authorized person in accordance with local regulations. 4. Check that tools and protective equipment are available at the worksite. 5. Wear appropriate personal safety equipment at all times, e.g. safety harnesses, proper independent lifelines with suitable fixings, etc. 6. When erecting and dismantling a scaffold, robust temporary decking must be used as temporary platforms for the scaffolders. 7. Always make sure that the safety locking devices that prevent a platform lifting off have been activated once a platform has been installed. 8. Study all relevant instructions or safety directions from the manufacturers of the various scaffolds that are to be used. 9. Never climb up a scaffold from the outside. Always use the stairs, ladders or climbing frames that are designed to provide access to the upper decks from the inside of the scaffold. 10. If the scaffold is to be used outdoors, erection or dismantling work must be discontinued if the weather conditions are too bad. Make sure that all loose components are properly fixed before leaving the scaffold. 11. Scaffolding work must be done by competent workmen under the supervision of a competent person. 12. Raising and lowering of parts, material and tools using ropes or slings must be carried out in a protected lifting area. 13. Lifting equipment must not be fitted to scaffolding unless ties or equivalent devices are secure. 14. Beware of any overhead power lines nearby. 15. Always observe and comply with the regulations issued by the local authorities concerned. Instruct ions for dismant ling 1. Dismantle the scaffold from the topmost lift. 2. Start by taking down the toe boards, mid-rails and hand rails. 3. Take down the topmost decking, then the stairs. 4. Take down the horizontals and diagonals of the topmost lift. 5. Finally, take down the standards of the topmost lift. 6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to take down the second topmost lift and continue the whole process until the tower is completely dismantled. 7. Do not throw or dump the material onto the ground. This may damage the material or cause personal injury. The material must be lowered down to the ground by means of ropes or slings or carried down by hand. 8. Ties must not be removed before the dismantling process has reached the level in question. 11

12 erection procedure Before commencing erection, ensure the ground conditions are capable of carrying the loads to be imposed by the scaffold. Appropriate sole plates should be used. The user should refer to the relevant Code of Practise. Start the erection of the scaffold at the highest ground point or as directed by the scaffold lay-out plan. 1 2 Select components required and lay them out in the order to be erected. When selecting the size of the standard, be aware that to use the Advanced Guard Rail method, you must always have at least 1m of standard above the next lift. Place the standards onto the base jacks. 3 4 Ensure each standard has two components in and locked before releasing. important engage locking catches as each component is fixed 12

13 erection procedure 4a 4b Use a spare base jack to ensure bay is square. Level in a clockwise direction. 5 6 Add Ledgers and Transoms at the required lift height. 7 Additional bays can be constructed, levelling and aligning each bay as you go. Forming a Return a To construct a return, place a Return Transom or two beam riders onto the Ledger Beam (no Standards are required). Locate Ledger Beams into the pockets and complete bay as previously described. 13

Alternatively, use HAKI 450/750 Aluminium Beams which can be connected to the Standards using Scaffold Couplers or Lattice Beam adapters. Contact HAKI technical department for further information. 26

27 beam riders To make off-node horizontal connections, use Beam Riders located anywhere on the Ledger Beam a BRS BRS BRS When boarding using Steel Planks fit from Ledger Beam to Ledger Beam. When boarding using scaffold boards use beam riders and ledgers at the required centre to act as intermediate board supports. Note: For Platform Loadings when using Beam Riders check Beam Loadings. (See pages 31 or refer to HAKI Technical Department). 27

28 puncheon units To make off-node vertical connections, use Puncheon Units located anywhere on the Ledger Beam and add Standards as required Puncheon Unit Puncheon Unit Note: For platform loadings when using Puncheon Units check Beam loadings. (See pages or refer to HAKI technical department). topping up Unless the scaffold is going to be crane lifted/suspended or used to support a temporary roof then the joints do not normally have to be pinned except when cantilevers are used. In this instance all joints above uppermost tie must be pinned. When selecting the standard size, be aware that to enable the use of the Advanced Guard Rail method, you must always have at least 1m of outside standard above the next lift. N.B It is not necessary to stagger the joints in the Standards. 28

29 loading conditions Base jacks The scaffolding is mounted on base jacks which are adjustable in height between 55 and 570mm. If more adjustments are needed, screw the base jacks down and assemble the beams to the next group of pockets. This means that the Standards can always be adjusted to ensure that the beams are horizontal. Standards Standards of length 3000mm or 2000mm are normally used in the scaffold. However 1500mm Standards may be used at the bottom of the scaffold in accordance with the alternative method of erection described on page 35. Horizontals Generally, the scaffold is erected using Ledgers and/or Ledger beams as ledgers and transoms with a height of 2000mm between the lifts. Each lift must be fitted horizontals on both the inside and the outside faces. The lowermost lift should always be installed at the lowest possible pocket level. Guardrails Decked lifts must be provided with guardrail frames or double guardrails and toeboards. The guardrail height must be a minimum of 950mm above decking level.

30 Bracing and tying-in Vertical diagonal bracing between the outside standards must be installed in every 5th bay and always in the end bays. Guard rail frames can replace vertical diagonal braces, but must then be fitted in each bay and at every lift level, including the bottom level. Each inside standard must be tied to the facade or equivalent at every 4th metre in height adjacent to the node between standard and beam. The lowest tie must be fitted no more than 4.8 m above ground level. loading conditions There must be ties that can carry Bracing with vertical diagonal braces and tying-in horizontal forces on at least every 6th pair of standards along the scaffold and at every level of ties. In addition, we recommend that the scaffold always be anchored as high up as possible. Ties that can withstand horizontal forces should be dimensioned for a load of 5.5 kn parallel with the façade and 8.5 kn perpendicular to the façade. Other ties should be dimensioned for a load of 4.6 kn perpendicular to the façade. Where a scaffold is covered in sheeting, the number of ties must be increased to take account of wind load. Seperate calculations are Bracing with GFL/GFLH guardrail frames and tying-in therefore required.

Please refer to the Stair Tower user manual for further information. Maintenance & storage 1. After use, all components must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before storage. 2. Any damaged parts or components found must be replaced. 3. The manufacturer or supplier must be consulted before repairing scaffold material. 4. Components must be sorted and stacked properly. Take care not to pile the stacks too high, so that the material lower down in the stacks becomes overloaded and damaged. If the material must be stacked up high, suitable racking and shelves should be used. 5. Wooden and plastic components (e.g. platforms, toe boards, toe board holders, etc.) should be stored in a sheltered area so as to maximize their working life. Wind, ice and snow During the winter months, when extreme weather conditions can occur, it is important to remove snow and ice immediately. With regards to wind loads, ties must be installed every fourth metre in height; see the section Bracing and tying-in. For clad scaffolding, calculations should be made in each individual case. For more information, please contact HAKI s technical department. 33

34 loading condition Heavy Duty Beams Lattice beams Lattice beams 500/6100 are designed to allow the scaffold to continue to be erected across a span equivalent to two 3050 mm bays. Lattice beams 500/6100 are fitted to the standards of the scaffold by hooking them into two pairs of pockets. The lattice beams must be braced against lateral movement by fitting a ledger to the pair of pockets in the centre of the beams. Steel lattice beam Aluminium lattice beams Aluminium lattice beams are fitted in pairs on the inside and outside of the scaffold. Both the top and bottom tubes must be fixed to the standards using SW 48x48 double couplers or use lattice beam connectors to standard. The height is adjusted so that the decking is level when this is fitted. The lattice beams must be braced against lateral movement at least every other metre with the aid of a diagonally rigid framework of standards and beams or tubes and couplers.
