4 General
4.1 Basic requirements
The instruction manual shall be written in the official language of the country where the product is placed
on the market.
The instruction manual shall give information about the use of the mobile access and working tower.
The supplier of the mobile access and working towers is responsible for the contents as well as for the
supply of an instruction manual. The instruction manual is a part of the product.
The instruction manual shall give full information about the identity of the supplier.
The instruction manual shall make reference to relevant assessment documentation according to
EN 1004-1:2020, Clause 13 held by the supplier.
The instructions for use shall state the intended use and contain all information that a user needs to know
when using the product.
Extensive information on instruction manual content may also be found in IEC/IEEE 82079 (all parts).
The instruction manual shall state the following sentences in a prominent position.
a) This instruction manual shall be available on the location of use of the mobile access and working
tower.
b) This mobile access and working tower shall only be used according to this manual without any
modification.
c) Mobile access and working towers must only be used in accordance with national regulations.
NOTE 1 According to the European Directive 2009/104/EC adequate training is required for the use of work
equipment by workers at work.
The level of description and details of information should be adapted to the knowledge of users.
Instructions for use should ensure the completeness of relevant information at a sufficient level of detail
based on the ascertained needs of the users. The instructions shall be separated into sections for use that
are clearly and appropriately marked and defined at the beginning of the content.
NOTE 2 An example of sections for use might be: a) assembly, alteration and dismantling; b) application and
moving; c) inspection care and maintenance.
Pictograms of safety information shall be used to supplement text in instruction manuals. Examples are
contained in Annex A.
4.2 Risk Assessment
Instructions for use shall, when followed by the user contribute to reducing the risk of injury to people and
risks of any damage. Instructions for use are an integral part of the safe operation and maintenance of a
mobile access and working tower. They shall provide information to avoid any unacceptable risk for the
user or other parties, damage to the mobile access and working tower itself or other products or materials.
Instructions for use shall provide users with the necessary information to allow them to identify and avoid
reasonably foreseeable misuse. This requires that the mobile access and working tower supplier ensures
that the following are taken into account:
a) the process of risk analysis for the product as sold;
b) the result of the risk analysis shall be taken into account in the instructions for use as safety-related
information; and
c) reasonably foreseeable misuse and risks arising from the use of the mobile access and working tower
shall be covered.
NOTE As a matter of principle, the supplier has an obligation to include safety-related information; in fact it is a
legal requirement in most countries.
The instruction manual shall give information about hazards to be considered during the use of mobile
access and working towers.
4.3 Principal Guidelines
The description of the application of the mobile access and working tower shall give guidelines with
respect to:
a) the intended means of access to the working platform;
b) the load class in accordance with EN 1004-1;
c) the permitted uniformly distributed load in kilograms on the working platform;
d) a warning that only one platform shall be a working platform at one time;
e) the maximum number of people permitted on the working platform at one time;
f) the permitted horizontal force at the working platform;
g) the permissible configurations of the mobile access and working tower with respect to the permitted
heights;
h) the importance of selecting the correct platform height in relation to the required working height;
i) the specification of the maximum wind limits:
1) when working on the mobile access and working tower is permissible;
2) when the freestanding mobile access and working tower shall be dismantled or made secure.
5 Identification of components in the structure
The instruction manual shall give information about the total structure of the mobile access and working
tower and the individual components needed.
It is recommended that this information is given with clear references to the position of individual
components in the total structure, such as exploded drawings.
6 Assembly, alteration and dismantling
The instruction manual shall include the following information:
6.1 The instruction manual shall specify that before assembling the mobile access and working tower
