5.5 Installation of End Stop at Top of
Rail System
ENd STOP 26027
note: the 26027 end stop is designed for installation
at the bottom and at the top of the rail system. Follow
all installation specifications and instructions in
section 5.2 of this manual for proper mounting.
GATEd TOP ENd STOP 21050
1. Fix the top end stop to the back of the top guide rail section,
aligning the hole in the end stop with the uppermost closed
oblong hole in the guide rail (see Fig. 5). NOTE: The gate
on the end stop must be located on the right side of the
guide rail when facing the front of the system.
2. Insert bolt through the aligned holes and attach washer
and nut. Tighten fastener until snug.
IMPORTANT!
After installation is complete, a final inspection of the
system, ladder and structure is required.
5.6 System Options
Rigid End Stop
The rigid end stop may be installed at the bottom or top of
the system to prevent the fall arrester from being removed.
1. Fix the rigid end stop over the front of the guide rail,
aligning the hole in the end stop with the uppermost
closed oblong hole in the guide rail if installing at the
top of the system or with the oblong hole in the guide
rail located above the second notch if installing to the
bottom guide rail of the system.
2. Insert bolt through the aligned holes and attach washer
and nut. Tighten fastener until snug.
Side Mount Clamp
The side mount clamp permits the guide rail to be installed
on the side of a ladder with a maximum 3" (76.2mm) wide
side rail. NOTE: Side mount clamps must be spaced
a maximum of 7 ft. (2.1m) apart (from center to center)
throughout the system. The same guidelines apply for side
mount clamps as for rung clamps with regard to securing
the top guide rail section (refer to 5.4 Installation of Top
Guide Rail Section). If the top guide rail ends with the top
of the ladder, one side mount clamp is required between
the top two ladder rungs. If the top guide rail extends above
the ladder, three side mount clamps must be installed 12
in. (304.8mm) apart with the uppermost side mount clamp
located between the top two ladder rungs.
1. Install the side mount clamp by holding the two clamping
plates on the side of the ladder. Note: The angled plate
must face the inside and front of the ladder. Insert the
bolts through the aligned holes in the clamping plates
and attach the washers, lockwashers and nuts (see Fig.
7). Torque fasteners to 18.5 ft.-lbs. (25Nm).
2.
Attach guide rail to the side mount clamp by aligning the
hole on the angled end of the clamping plate with the oblong
hole in the guide rail. Insert the bolt (front to back) through
the aligned holes and attach washer, lockwasher and nut
(see Fig. 7). Torque fasteners to 18.5 ft.-lbs. (25Nm).
