- Attach support braces to roof of structure using at least four screws with a minimum holding strength equivalent to 1/4" x 3" type AB screws (See Figure).
- Place pole with pump jack and work bench assemblies on ground. Ensure rubber surface of pole is facing down toward ground with bottom of pole pointing toward work wall of structure (see Figure A) or rubber surface of pole is facing upward with top of pole pointing toward work wall of structure (see Figure B).
- Align pole assembly with support braces that were attached to roof of structure.
- Place scaffold platform on its side against work wall with top surface of scaffold platform facing work wall.
- Center scaffold platform between pole assemblies, ensuring that a rung of the scaffold platform is aligned with appropriate attachment point on pump jack (see Figure).
- Swing Pole upward assuring that scaffold platform will not be further than 14" from wall. Note: It is recommended that a rope be used to hoist pole for any pole combination in excess of 24'. Rope should be pulled through cross members of support brace and used to pull top of pole up to brace. A pulley can also be attached to support brace to aid in hoisting pole.
- Secure support brace to pole by latching and tightening support brace pole attachment cover. Ensure cover is tight against rubber surface of pole (see Figure C).
WARNING! NO WORK LOAD IS PERMITTED ON THE PUMP JACK SYSTEM DURING THIS PROCESS
- Secure scaffold platform to pump jack using the supplied chain. See instruction section “Installation of Scaffold Platforms” for details on how to secure chain.
