2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when using the scaffolding. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or damage.

• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 500kg (1100 lbs). Ensure the weight is evenly distributed on the platform.
• Stable Surface: Always place the scaffolding on a firm, level, and stable surface. Avoid uneven ground or slippery areas.
• Secure Legs: Before use, ensure all legs are fully extended and securely locked into place using the solid pins.
• Anti-Slip Features: The platform is equipped with non-slip rubber pads on the feet and a textured surface on the platform itself. Ensure these are clean and intact before each use.
• Welding Marks: Please note that due to the manufacturing process involving galvanized steel welding, minor welding marks may be present. This is normal and does not affect the product's structural integrity or safety.
• Personal Protective Equipment: Consider wearing appropriate safety gear, such as non-slip footwear and gloves, especially when working at height or handling tools.

3. Product Features

The Fablestoryem Portable Folding Scaffolding is designed with several key features for optimal performance and user convenience:

• Sturdy and Durable Construction: Made from thickened galvanized steel pipe with an all-welded construction, ensuring resistance to rust and a robust structure. Features a two-support rod design combined with a triangular stable structure for enhanced stability and a load capacity of up to 500kg.
• Portable and Foldable Design: No assembly is required; simply unfold for use. It features a convenient handle for easy transportation and folds compactly for space-saving storage, even fitting into a small car trunk.
• Adjustable Height: Offers 5 levels of height adjustment, ranging from 70cm (27.6 inches) to 156cm (61.4 inches). Height adjustment is simple using preset drilled holes, solid pins, and bolts.
• Enhanced Safety Features: Equipped with two thickened steel wire ropes on the legs for increased stability. The platform legs lock securely into place when unfolded. Four anti-slip rubber pads provide a safer working environment and protect floor surfaces.

4. Setup Instructions

The Fablestoryem Portable Folding Scaffolding requires no complex assembly. It is designed for quick and easy deployment.

1. Unfolding: Place the folded scaffolding on a flat, stable surface. Gently pull the two halves of the platform apart. The legs will begin to extend.
2. Locking Mechanism: Continue unfolding until the legs are fully extended and the internal locking mechanisms (solid pins) engage securely. Ensure all four legs are firmly locked.
3. Height Adjustment (Optional): If a specific height is required, adjust the legs to one of the 5 available levels. Press the release pins, slide the leg to the desired height, and ensure the pin snaps back into the corresponding hole. Repeat for all four legs to maintain a level platform.
4. Stability Check: Before stepping onto the platform, gently shake it to confirm it is stable and all locking mechanisms are engaged.

5. Operating Instructions

Once set up, the scaffolding is ready for use. Always adhere to safety guidelines during operation.

• Ascending/Descending: Always face the platform when ascending or descending. Use the platform surface for footing.
• Working on the Platform: Maintain a balanced posture. Avoid leaning too far to one side or overreaching. Keep your center of gravity within the platform's base.
• Tool Placement: Place tools and materials securely on the platform to prevent them from falling. Do not overload the platform.
• Folding for Storage: To fold the scaffolding, ensure no one is on the platform and all tools are removed. Locate the folding ring/buckle mechanism (as shown in Figure 7) and gently pull to release the locks. Carefully push the two halves of the platform together until it is fully folded. Use the nylon rope handle for easy transport.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your scaffolding.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the scaffolding with a damp cloth to remove dirt, paint, or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized finish.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check the integrity of the galvanized steel pipes, welding points, steel wire ropes, solid pins, and rubber foot pads.
• Lubrication: Lightly lubricate moving parts, such as hinges and locking pins, with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff.
• Storage: Store the folded scaffolding in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
• Damaged Parts: Do not use the scaffolding if any part is damaged or appears compromised. Contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common concerns and provides guidance for resolution.

• Scaffolding feels unstable:
  • Ensure all legs are fully extended and the solid pins are securely engaged in their respective holes.
  • Verify the scaffolding is placed on a completely flat and stable surface.
  • Check if the steel wire tighteners are properly adjusted to provide tension.
• Difficulty folding/unfolding:
  • Ensure the folding ring/buckle mechanism is fully disengaged when folding, or fully engaged when unfolding.
  • Check for any obstructions or debris in the hinge areas.
  • Apply a small amount of lubricant to the hinges if they are stiff.
• Welding marks visible:
  • As mentioned in the safety section, minor welding marks are a normal result of the manufacturing process for galvanized steel and do not indicate a defect or compromise the product's integrity.
