A locking ladder is used with double-sided chimney scaffolding instead of a ridge frame. Therefore, when using double-sided chimney scaffolding, ridge frame must be read to mean locking ladder in the Assembly and user s instructions for the Custers Camino Chimney scaffolding. Other alterations to the contents of the instructions when using doublesided scaffolding: the maximum load of 200 kg/m 2 (for single-sided scaffolding) is 200 kg for the entire construction.

3 1. Safety instructions The maximum work load per platform is 200 kg/m 2, scaffolding class 3 in accordance with DIN standard When using double-sided scaffolding, the maximum load is 200 kg for the entire construction. The scaffolding must be disassembled once the work is completed or if the wind force is expected to be equal to or greater than Beaufort 6. Only for use with roofs which meet DIN standard 1055, including the wind and snow load. The chimney scaffolding may only be used in combination with aluminium ladders which meet the DIN 4568 and VDG 74 standards. The stile of the ladder must be at least 74 mm high. The user must check whether the roof construction is suitable to carry the scaffolding before assembling the scaffolding. If necessary, the roof construction must be supported from underneath. The scaffolding is suitable for a roof with a pitch of between 30 º and 60º. All the safety requirements concerning working on roofs, as well as the method of assembly of the chimney scaffolding, must be strictly observed. Not observing these rules will most certainly cause serious damage and/or personal injury or even death. (Refer to the A1 sheet, 15 th edition 1998, published by the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, as well as the NEN 516 standard, published by the Dutch Standards Institute.) 2. SINGLE-SIDED CHIMNEY SCAFFOLDING Custers ENG Nov

4 2.1. Pre-assembly of single-sided scaffolding (do not do this on the roof) Pull the steel rod almost all the way out of the ridge frame. Insert the long ladder through the ridge frame (see figure 1) and position this long ladder so that the third rung from the top is in front of the steel rod. Next, slide the steel rod all the way through the third rung of the ladder and through the longitudinal beams of the ridge frame. Lock the rod in position using the locking clip (see figure 2) Pull the locking clip out of the aluminium U-profile of the aluminium ridge frame tube. Slide the U-profile onto the 2nd rung from the top of the long ladder. Determine the position of the U-profile for the correct locking hole in the ridge frame tube so that the angle that the ridge frame makes with the long ladder is the same as the angle of the two halves of the roof. Next, lock the connection of the U-profile with the ridge frame tube using the locking clip (see figure 3). Figure 1: Figure 2: Tie the load distributors to the rungs (see figure 4 for the distribution) and position them on the underside of the ladder and the ridge frame. In any case, a load distributor must be placed directly under the ridge, both on the side of the ladder and on the side of the ridge frame. Figure 3: Figure 4: Place the base frame between two load distributors on the ladder by sliding the U pieces of the base frame over the ladder rungs. Lock the connection by Custers ENG Nov

5 inserting the securing pins through the U pieces and then securing the securing pins with the accompanying locking clips (see figure 7). Make sure to place the base frame on the ladder rungs in a way that the ladder can still be climbed safely (see figure 8) Remove the securing pin from the extendable tube. Determine the angle that the (ribbed) rung which supports the platform must make with the ladder (the platform must be horizontal) and lock the extendable tube with the securing pin (see figure 7). Before the construction is rolled upwards against the roof after being preassembled but before the final assembly, the angle at which the ladder is assembled to the ridge frame must be exactly the same as the angle that the two halves of the roof make to each other Next, place the entire construction of the ladder, ridge frame and base frame in front of you on the roof. Roll everything upwards against the roof until it goes over the ridge and until everything rests firmly on the roof (see figure 6). If necessary, tip everything up so that it rests on one wheel and rotate everything slightly so that it can be moved over the ridge. Repeat all the steps above for the second construction of the ladder, ridge frame, load distributors and base frame. Figure 5: Figure 6: Figure 7: 2.2. Final assembly of single-sided scaffolding (do this on the roof) Custers ENG Nov

6 When both ladder constructions lay on the roof, first check whether the ladders are secure and make sure they cannot slide away and cannot bend. If they bend too much, add some load distributors after first removing the ladders from the roof. Repeat step if necessary Next, place the platform on the base frame and slide the pins of the wind protection mechanism under the bearing rungs (see figure 11). Check whether the platform is horizontal. If necessary, change the angle by adjusting the corresponding extendable tube of the base frame (see step 2.1.5) Place the guard rail frames on the ends onto the connecting pins of the base frames and lock the guard rail frames using the securing pins (see figure 12) Place the guard rail braces on the back (the long side opposite the chimney or ridge) around the stands of the guard rail frames so that they rest on the 2nd and 4th rungs from the platform. The claws of the braces should face outwards (see figure 5) Clamp the four yellow plastic toe board holders around the stands of the guard rail frames and slide all four toe boards between the yellow blocks. The scaffolding is now ready for use. Figure 8: 3. DOUBLE-SIDED CHIMNEY SCAFFOLDING 3.1. Pre-assembly of double-sided scaffolding (do not do this on the roof) Custers ENG Nov

7 Pull the steel rod almost all the way out of the wide locking ladder. Insert the narrow ladder through the wide locking ladder (see figure 1), so that the steel adjustable tube with the screw thread protrudes from between the 1st and 2nd rung of the narrow ladder. Position the narrow ladder with the third rung from the top right in front of the steel rod. Next, slide the steel rod all the way through the third rung of the ladder and through the longitudinal beams of the wide locking ladder. Lock the rod in position using the locking clip (see figure 2) Pull the locking clip out of the aluminium U-profile of the adjustable tube with the screw thread. Slide the U-profile onto the 2nd rung from the top of the narrow ladder. Use the wing nuts to determine the position of the U-profile so that the angle that the wide locking ladder makes with the narrow ladder is the same as the angle of the two halves of the roof. Next, lock the connection of the U profile with the rung by firmly tightening both wing nuts (see figure 3a). Figure 1: Figure 2: Tie the load distributors to the rungs (see figure 4 for the distribution) and position them on the underside of the narrow ladder and the wide ladder. In any case, a load distributor must be placed directly under the ridge, both on the side of the narrow ladder and on the side of the wide locking ladder. Figure 3a: Figure 4: Remove the securing pin from the extendable tube. Determine the angle that the (ribbed) rung which supports the platform must make with the ladder (the platform must be horizontal) and lock the extendable tube with the securing pin (see figure 7).

8 Before the construction is rolled upwards against the roof after being preassembled but before the final assembly, the angle at which the narrow ladder is assembled to the wide locking ladder must be exactly the same as the angle that the two halves of the roof make to each other Next, place the entire combination of the narrow ladder and the wide locking ladder in front of you on the roof. Roll everything upwards against the roof until it goes over the ridge and until everything rests firmly on the roof (see figure 6). If necessary, tip everything up so that it rests on one wheel and rotate everything so that it can be moved over the ridge. Repeat all the steps for the second construction of the narrow ladder, wide locking ladder and load distributors. Figure 5: Figure 6: Figure 7: Custers ENG Nov

9 Final assembly of double-sided scaffolding (do this on the roof) When both ladder constructions lay on the roof, first check whether the ladders are secure and make sure they cannot slide away and cannot bend. If they bend too much, add some load distributors after first removing the ladders from the roof. If necessary, repeat step Place the base frame on the ladder between two load distributors by sliding the U pieces of the base frame over the ladder rungs. Lock the connection by inserting the securing pins through the U pieces and then securing the securing pins with the accompanying locking clips (see figure 7). Make sure to place the base frame on the ladder rungs in a way that the ladder can still be climbed safely (see figure 8) Next, place the platform on the base frame and slide the pins of the wind protection mechanism under the bearing rungs (see figure 11). Check whether the platform is horizontal. If necessary, change the angle by adjusting the corresponding extendable tube of the base frame (see step 2.1.5) Place the guard rail frames of the ends onto the connecting pins of the base frames and lock the guard rail frames using the securing pins (see figure 12) Place the guard rail braces on the back (the long side opposite the chimney or ridge) around the stands of the guard rail frames so that they rest on the 2nd and 4th rung from the platform. The claws of the braces should face outwards (see figure 5) Clamp the four yellow plastic toe board holders around the stands of the guard rail frames and slide all four toe boards between the yellow blocks. The scaffolding is now ready for use. Figure 8: Custers ENG Nov
