▪ It is strictly forbidden to weld Doka products – in par-
ticular anchoring/tying components, suspension
components, connector components and castings
etc. – or otherwise subject them to heating.
Welding causes serious change in the microstruc-
ture of the materials from which these components
are made. This leads to a dramatic drop in the failure
load, representing a very great risk to safety.
It is permissible to cut individual tie rods to length
with metal cutting discs (introduction of heat at the
end of the rod only), but it is important to ensure that
flying sparks do not heat and thus damage other tie
rods.
The only articles which are allowed to be welded are
those for which the Doka literature expressly points
out that welding is permitted.

Pre-assembly
➤ Pre-assemble elements face-down on an assembly
bench (see 'Inter-panel connections').
➤ With the gang-form still flat, mount panel struts to it
(see 'Plumbing accessories').
➤ Mount the Ladder system XS (see 'Ladder system').

➤ Lift the gang-form away and to its next location.
If the gang-form is 'parked' prior to its next use, it

NOTICE
➤ Comply with the stipulated stripping times.
➤ Remove any loose items from the formwork and plat-

Framax panel in detail

High load-bearing capacity Clean concrete surfaces with the
innovative Xlife sheet
The Xlife sheet consists of a combination of a tradi-
tional plywood core and a novel and innovative
plastic coating.
This combination of materials ensures high numbers of
repeat uses, with superb concrete results every time,
and reduces the proneness to damage.
▪ High quality concrete finish
▪ Less touching-up needed
▪ Less cleaning work - the Xlife sheet can also be
cleaned using a high-pressure spray cleaner
▪ Because the Xlife sheet is screwed on from the rear,
this leaves no screw imprints on the concrete

Plumbing accessories
0.5 kN/m2 (102 km/h) where cp, net = 1.3. The greater
wind loads encountered at exposed formwork-ends
must be constructionally sustained by additional plumb-
ing accessories (e.g. struts or pipe-braces). In cases
where higher wind pressure is encountered, the num-
ber of struts must be determined by statical calculation!
For more information, see the Calculation
Guide 'Wind loads to the Eurocodes', or con-
sult your Doka technician!

Note:
Every gang-form must be supported by at least 2
plumbing accessories.

Example: Where the formwork height is 7.20 m, the fol-

lowing are needed for every 5.40 m wide gang-form:
▪ 2 panel struts 340
▪ 4 panel struts 540

9727-221-01

Plumbing accessories brace the formwork against wind

loads and make it easier to plumb and align.

WARNING
Risk of the formwork tipping over!
➤ Formwork panels must be held stable in
every phase of construction work!
➤ Observe all applicable safety rules!
➤ If high wind speeds are likely, and when
work finishes for the day or before prolonged
work-breaks, always take extra precautions
to fix the formwork in place.
Suitable precautions:
- set up the opposing formwork
- place the formwork against a wall
- anchor the formwork to the ground (e.g.
with Framax floor fixing plates)

The four round slings of the transport gear hold the

stack together on all four sides, in such a way that it is
impossible for individual panels to slip out.
Advantages:
▪ Spring-loaded slinging hooks reach from underneath
into the beads of the panel frame and prevent the
transport gear accidentally detaching itself when the
cable tension slackens.
▪ The automatic length compensation feature of the
Framax transport gear ensures that the load is dis-

▪ The Framax transport gear can easily be suspended
and detached by just one person working on their
own.
▪ There is no need for anti-slippage protection using

Cleaning and care of your equipment

Release agents Cleaning
Doka-Trenn or Doka-OptiX is applied using the Doka NOTICE
release-agent sprayer.
▪ Immediately after pouring:
- Remove any blobs of concrete from the
back-face of the formwork, using water
(without any added sand).
▪ Immediately after stripping out the formwork
- Clean the formwork with a high-pres-
sure washer and a concrete scraper.
▪ Do not use any chemical cleaning agents!
Follow the directions in the 'Doka release-
agent sprayer' Operating Instructions and on
the containers of release agent.

NOTICE
▪ Before every pour:
- Apply release agent to the formwork
sheet and the end faces extremely
thinly, evenly and in a continuous Cleaning high formwork:
layer. Provide a service tower at a suitable cleaning
▪ Make sure there are no drips of release- location.
agent running down the formwork sheet. ▪ Wheel-around scaffold DF
▪ Applying too much release agent will spoil (up to a formwork height of 3.90 m)
the concrete finish. ▪ Working scaffold Modul
(up to a formwork height of 6,70 m)
To determine the right dosage and to make
sure that you are using the agent correctly, test
▪ Load-bearing tower Staxo 40

Cleaning equipment

High-pressure spray cleaner

NOTICE
▪ Appliance pressure rating: 200 to max.
300 bar
▪ Keep the water-jet the correct distance from
the formwork, and move it at the right
speed:
- The higher the pressure, the further
away from the formwork you must keep
the jet and the faster you must move it
across the surface.
▪ Do not aim the jet at one place for too long.
▪ Make only moderate use of the jet around
the silicone sealing strip:
- If the pressure is too high, this will dam-
age the silicone sealing strip.
- Do not aim the jet at one place for too
long.
