Use caution at all times. Proper maintenance and upkeep to the stair system and all Pathway® system
components is vital. NOTE: The t
erm “system” refers to the entire Pathway
Modular Access System,
including, gate, stairs, ramp, platform, risers, handrails, supports, transition plates, landing pad, and any/all
hardware and components.

Regularly check that all parts are in good condition and check the system for damage. Ensure all fasteners
and locking mechanisms are in place and tightened. If any part of the stair system is damaged, loose, or
missing, DO NOT USE UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE BY A CERTIFIED INSTALLER OR OTHER
QUALIFIED PERSON.

Do not walk, sit, stand, etc. on the system until the installation is complete.

Consult local building codes regarding securing stair system for wind loads.

If user has a mobility concern, or is otherwise not in able-bodied physical condition, ONLY USE STAIR
SYSTEM WITH A QUALIFIED HELPER.

caution when stair system surface is wet.

tread surface swept clean. Magnesium Chloride salt substitute may be used to melt snow or ice
accumulation. However, after the snow and/or ice threat has cleared, be sure to clean the tread surface
with soap and water (avoid alkaloid detergents) to remove Magnesium Chloride residue. Rinse well and
use extra caution when stair system surface is wet.

QUALIFIED PERSON.
