Access Door/Base Platform Mounting Angle Installation
Figure 8R shows the location of the access door platform mounting angles. All four (4) angles must be
mounted starting 16" above the top horizontal seam of the bottom ring (E) with the first mounting angle
directly in line with the left hand eave mounting angle. The second mounting angle must be located
56-1/4" to the left of the first mounting angle. The remaining two (2) mounting angles will be installed in
the stiffeners located on each side of the access door. When installed correctly, there should be 37-1/2"
between the two (2) sets of mounting angles. Pay careful attention when installing these angles. The
dimensions and locations of these angles are very critical to assure proper fit of all parts.
