Platform Setup
NOTE: YOUR PLATFORM LEGS ARE SQUARE TUBES, THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE RAMP U - LEGS
* Set out your platform with the FEMALE GROOVE facing in the direction of the first downward ramp run.
* Locate the Platform Hardware Pack (PHP) . This is your hardware required to install the leg supports and handrails.
* Open the hardware pack and remove the 4 - 3/8” x 1/2” bolts . Insert the bolts into each leg socket on the platform
making sure to leave room in the leg socket for the leg tube to freely slide into the socket.
* Determine your platform height and find the tubular legs that are approximately 10” or greater than your overall height.
Example: The rise is 28”, so the platform needs to be set at 28" from the ground to the top surface of the
platform. The appropriate leg size for this configuration would be the 40" legs (28"+10"=38").
Platform legs are available 20",30",40", 50” and continuing increments of 10". The platform rails will be installed
over the legs. This is why 10” over the platform surface is ideal for your leg height.
* Next determine the BEST position for your legs. Note that the foot pad is “ off set ” allowing you to tuck the pad under-
neath the platform when installing.
* Slide the tubular leg into the socket from the bottom side of the platform. Measure from the surface of the platform
down to the bottom of the footpad. Set it at your desired height by slightly tightening the bolt to hold the leg in
place. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Adjust height when using patio blocks under the legs.
See note below.
*
Install Note : A minimum of 10” or more of the platform leg should be showing above the platform
INSTALL NOTE
: When installing legs on grass or uneven surfaces, a 12” x 12” patio paver is required to be set under
the aluminum leg to prevent the leg from sinking into the soft ground over longer periods of time. Level out the patio
paver to acquire level contact between the patio paver and the aluminum footpad. We recommend sand under the patio
paver to help in leveling it out.
After all 4 legs have been installed,
•
Set your platform and make level adjustments using a 4’ or 6’ bubble level for accuracy.
•
Once level, proceed to tighten your leg socket hardware.
