INSTALL A SINGLE RAMP RUN TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE
If installing a ramp run to an existing landing other than a PATHWAY 3G Platform, such as a porch,
deck, stairs, etc., follow these steps:
3.5.1.
Turn the ramp section upside down on a flat surface. Do this on cardboard or a lawn
so that the ramp is not damaged (scratched or dented).
3.5.2.
Locate PRHBPR (RAMP HANDRAIL END BRACKET PAIR). Install four end brackets (will
be used to attach handrails in a later step). Install one end bracket at each outside
corner of the ramp section using one 5/16″ x 1
-
1/2″ bolt and washer int
o the
threaded insert closest to the end of the ramp (FIG. 3.13).
3.5.3.
Turn the ramp over to the upright position.
FIG. 3.13
3.5.4.
Place the upper end of the ramp onto the supporting surface, i.e., platform, porch,
etc. Once the ramp is resting on the porch or platform, lift the upper end of the ramp
and install the PRUT (RAMP UPPER TRANSITION) into what will be the upper end of
the ramp (FIG. 3.14) and the PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION) into what will be
the lower end of the ramp.
3.5.5.
If the lower end of the ramp is not resting on the ground, use either an upper
transition or lower transition with a PRST (RAMP SUPPORT TOP). Please see
‘OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT’ section for instructions.
3.5.6.
Maneuver the ramp to its desired position (FIG. 3.15).
