*IMPORTANT NOTE: Only one (1) Kee Klamp TYPE 74-7 (Collar)
should be used each one (1) KeeGuard Type 440-7 (PVC Counter-
balance). The use of more than one Collar will result in not having
enough Collars to complete the job. Only one collar is necessary per
each PVC Counterbalance to create a safe and compliant system
saving you time and money.

Installation Instructions
1.
Be sure the locations for all uprights and counter-
balances are free from stone and debris. Kee Safety advises
that KeeGuard should not be installed during snowy or icy
weather unless all snow and ice is cleared first.
2.
Position a KGU (KeeGuard Upright). Angle of uprights are
adjustable between 90° and 79° from the horizontal. Connect
a CB4 PVC counterbalance assembly* (
see IMPORTANT NOTE
below
), to the KGU with the 66’’ long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe and tighten
the set screws to 29 lbs/ft (39 Nm). Install plug on end of
tube.
3.
Position a KGU at 4’ from the
first upright and con
nect a
CB3 PVC assembly with the 42’’ long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe and tighten
the set screws to 29 lbs/ft (39 Nm).
4.
Position a KGU at 8’ from the previous upright and connect
a CB1 PVC assembly with the 42’’ long 1-1⁄4’’ pipe and tighten
the set screws to 29 lbs/ft (39 Nm).
5.
Set the 1-1
⁄2’’ galvanized pipe into the Kee Klamp
Type
135-8 at the top and at the mid section of the uprights to
form two rails and tighten the set screws. Connect the
lengths of handrail together using Kee Klamp Type 14-8
(Straight Coupling) and tighten the set screws to 29 lbs/ft
(39 Nm). Be sure to stagger the joints of the horizontal rails.
Ideally the Type 14-8 (Straight Coupling) connections on the
mid rail and top rail should be offset by 8’.
