If using platform connectors, align the corner pocket of the platform
extender with the main platform corner pocket, and then install the
platform connector onto the adjacent legs until it contacts the
underside of the platform corner pockets. Tighten the set screws in the
platform connector securely. This will require loosening the platform leg
set screws, foot thumb screws, and removing the bolt attaching the foot
to the leg (and possibly removing cross bracing, if present), then lifting
the leg out of the foot if the legs and feet have already been installed
(FIG. 7.14). Refer to ‘INSTALL SUPPORT LEGS AND FEET AND ADJUST
PLATFORM HEIGHT’ section for additional information on installing
platform legs and feet, ‘CONNECT TWO PLATFORMS TOGETHER’ section
for additional information on platform connectors, and ‘INSTALL CROSS
BRACE – PLATFORMS’ section for additional information on cross braces.
Two platform connectors can only be used when connecting
a 5-ft x 1-ft platform extender to a 5-ft platform side. In
other situations, use either two platform tie straps or one
platform tie strap with a platform connector.
