Vertical Supports
After all three (3) hoop assemblies are in place, you may attach the 48" vertical supports (A) from hoop
assembly to hoop assembly, as shown in
Figure 8N . This requires ten (10) supports, five (5) between each
set of hoops. The second set of vertical supports (A) must be bent at the flat area to allow for the tapering
of the bottom hoop assembly. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts (unless otherwise noted) with the head of the bolt to
the inside of the safety cage.

48" Safety Cage
Attach the vertical support (A) pieces to the existing hoop halves above using the 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and
nuts (with the heads on the inside of the cage). Fasten two (2) hoop halves together and bolt to other end
of vertical supports. Attach cage hoop brackets to ladder, see general detail information
on Page 12 for
proper attachment. Once cage hoop brackets have been installed, attach cage hoop halves and tighten
bolts. Repeat installation for each safety cage required.
