} 6. DISMANTLING
Dismantling is in the reverse order to assembly (see page 9–13).
When dismantling, do not remove the bracing elements such as
diagonal braces, rear guardrails or access decks until the ladder
frames above them have been dismantled.
To lift out the individual parts, open the snap-on claws by pressing
their locking clips.
It is placed from above onto the 2nd rung and acts as a lever for opening
the snap-on claw (see detail).
The red locking clips of the decks permit effortless installation and
removal by a single person; first open them and place the deck with
the opened clips on the rung, then open the opposite clips and lift out
the deck.

Anchoring (under load and tension) case, wall supports or anchoring must be installed on both
sides of the tower. Use the Uni distance tube 14 and fix it to the
ladder frame 21/22 using two couplers 15 in each case. The rubber
mount is positioned on the wall to provide support (see detail A).
The Uni distance tube, rotated by 180°, is used for anchoring and
is fitted in an eyebolt which was attached to the wall previously
(see detail B). The mobile beams must be installed so that they
project at the side facing away from the wall. The wall supports/
anchoring must be attached at the level of the top working platform or
at most 1 m below that.
