Erection Guidelines—Step 1

SCAFFOLDING ERECTION GUIDELINES STEP 1
1. Prepare the foundation for the scaffold.

2. Install Base Collars on the Adjustable Screw
Jacks, and set them out roughly in position
with their corresponding Ledgers. Pick the
highest ground level for the starting point to
simplify later adjustment. It helps if the Base
Jack adjusting handle is near the bottom of the
thread. This will allow maximum adjustment on
the lower ground levels.
3. The Base Jack must be located centrally on
sole plates.

4. For level surfaces, start at one end where
the scaffold is required, and build towards
the other end. Set the Base Jack as low as
possible. On level surfaces, they should all be at
approximately the same height.

5. Each rosette has eight openings. The smaller openings are generally used to help
guide the scaffolding to make 90 degree connections, whereas the larger opening
enable connections at variable angles to be achieved.

6. Unless erecting a scaffold around a circular building structure, align the Base
Collar rosettes so that one of the small openings in the rosette points in the Ledger
direction. The small openings at right angles to the first will automatically align the
Transoms at 90 degrees.

7. The larger openings are generally used for
connecting the diagonal braces.
