Stair flight is positioned vertically and located into pockets of lower landing (11 A & 11B). Flight is then lowered onto landing above (11 C) and pushed along (11 D) until top of stair flight is fully located into pockets of upper landing (11 E). Note. At this stage check top and bottom of stair is fully engaged into both landing pockets. Stairflights should be erected for a clockwise ascent.

HAKr

Using tube & couplers, the tower should be tied to the structure below each lift position (except first lift) through both inside & outside

standards.

For nd e exit
Erector 1 is safely standing on landing. Erector 2 standing on erecting platform at opposite end of tower clipped onto 1.605m ledger beam. Bothoperators then fit 3.0m guardrail frame at each side of tower. Remove 1.605m Guard from landing position. Means of access/egress at end of tower is then complete.

Shows construction of the HAKI Stair Tower with the 1.605m face parallel to the structure or scaffold (end exits). Using tube & couplers, the tower should be tied to the structure below each lift position (except first lift) A. to inside standards, and B. using diagonal tubes to outside standards.

Access

Points

For dismantling the Stair Tower, the reverse of the above squence should be followed.

Itisonly possible to have a side access point (3.05m) in a 2.0m lift. Access to/from end of tower (1.655m) is not restricted, but 1.605m ledger Beam may have to be raised to create sufficientheadroom when access liftis less than 2.0m. ---
