1. Select the proper mounting bolt to attach the
mounting plate to the safety railing vertical post: Use
round U-bolts for round post, J-bolts for angle post
and square U-bolts for square post.

height as the safety railing top. (See Figures 1-2)
DANGER! Death or serious injury may occur if
improperly installed or used. Mounting plate
MUST be placed on opposite side of railing
post from mounting bolts.

automatically closes completely.

of gate, trim bolt ends to approximately 1/4" from
locknut with hacksaw or cut-off wheel and deburr.

INJURY may occur if gate is improperly installed
or used. Gate must be installed to prevent
unintended passage or fall into elevation change
or other hazard. Gate must not open toward
elevation change or other hazard.
