1. Prepare the solid foundation for the erection of Ringlock Scaffolding.

2. Install Base Collars on the Adjustable Screw Jacks, and set them out roughly in position with their corresponding Ledgers. Pick the highest ground level for the starting point to simplify later adjustment. It helps if the Base Jack adjusting handle is near the bottom of the thread. This will allow maximum adjustment on the lower ground levels.

3. The Jack Base must be located centrally on Sole Plates.

4. For level surfaces, start at one end where the Ringlock Scaffolding is required, and build towards the other end. Set the Jack Base as low as possible. On level surfaces, they should all be at approximately the same height.

5. Each Spigot has eight openings. The smaller openings on the Spigot are generally used to help guide the Ringlock Scaffolding to make 90-degree connections, whereas the larger opening enables connections at variable angles to be achieved. The larger openings on the Spigot are generally used for connecting the Diagonal Braces.

6. Unless erecting the Ringlock Scaffolding around a circular building structure, align the Base Collar Spigot so that one of the small openings in the Spigot points in the Ledger direction. The small openings at right angles to the first will automatically align the Intermediate Transoms at 90 degrees.
