SECTION TWO, ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
Assembly Procedures
Cage Preparation
Portal Location
The following instructions include the steps and precautions to install one Portal between
two cages that are a part of a cage bank. Repeat the procedures for each Portal installation.
Installation of the Portal MUST BE COMPLETED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER familiar
with sheet metal manipulation/modifications. Cutting or drilling into metal cages can
produce sharp or jagged edges which could cause serious lacerations which, if not
avoided, could result in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The Template can be used to mark the Portal hole location from the inside of the cage
and can also be used to locate the holes from the outside of the cage. Depending on the
size of the proposed cages, it may be determined that hole placement and cutting may
be easier from the outside of the cage. The Trim Plates (#3 Phillips Head Screwdriver)
will have to be removed and the cages will have to be removed from the bank for this
type of installation.
Stainless steel cages are heavy. Enlist help and USE SAFE LIFTING PRACTICES when
removing any cages from or placing cages back into the cage bank to avoid risk of
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Any cages removed during the hole cutting process will have to be reinstalled in the cage
bank before continuing with the Portal installation.
For the purpose of these instructions each cage will have a unique identifier, the cage on the
right is "CAGE ONE" and the cage on the left is considered "CAGE TWO". See FIGURE 2.1
