3. Place Planks of the correct
bay length into the end bay to
fully deck out the bay. Adjust
the position of the Jacks and
Base Collar by pushing one
Jack sideways either in or out
in order that the Planks are
parallel with the Ledgers. Only
a small amount of movement
may be needed to ensure the
bay is square enough to lock
down the Planks with Deck
Locks. Once you are satisfied
that the bay is square, fill all
other bays with Planks so that a
platform is created from which
the rest of the scaffold can be erected.
4. When you are satisfied that the scaffold is fully squared and levelled, hammer in
the wedges.

SCAFFOLDING NOTE:
Irrespective of whether a platform is required on the lowest rosettes it is
recommended that the Planks are installed at this level. This ensures that the scaffold
is square and level prior to erection and it also provides plan stiffness. This is most
important, especially when the maximum height of the scaffold is above eight lifts.

The installation of these Planks ensure that the out of alignment eccentricities are kept
to a minimum in order for the scaffold to attain the maximum permissible height for
each recommended tie pattern (refer to Technical Manual).
