Fitting stabilizer when tower is against a wall

Fitting stabilizer when Tower is positioned at a building corner

Castor wheel should be pointed outwards at approximately 45 degrees and locks engaged as shown in the diagram

Fitting adjustable legs: Take the adjustable leg assembly complete with its castor, make sure that all the adjusting nuts are approximately at the same height and slide them into the vertical tube

Correct fitting of horizontal brace: The diagram opposite illustrate the correct brace positions. Remember : Always fit braces downward or from the inside facing outward but never inward

* To position the tower against the wall do not remove the stabilizer move the two stabilizer parallel with the wall

* To position the tower in a corner, remove one stabilizer and place two stabilizer parallel with the wall and one stabilizer facing outside

Fitting the stabilizers: Lightly tighten up the upper clamps above the sixth rung on each corner post.Position the lower clamp above the bottom rung.Ensure lower arm as horizontal as possible. Position the stabilizer so that the footpads are at proximately equidistant from each other, as shown in the diagram. Telescopically adjust the leg and reposition the clamps as required to make firm contact with the ground. When in correct position, tighten the clamps firmly.
