Vertical Supports
After all three (3) hoop assemblies are in place, attach the 48" vertical supports (A) from hoop assembly
to hoop assembly, as shown in
Figure 6O . 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.
Figure 6O Vertical Supports
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 (A). 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.
