Platform and Ramp Connection
* Once your Platform is set, you are ready to connect your first ramp section to the platform
.
* Determine the length of the first ramp section you are going to install. You will need to locate the ramp leg supports
which are the U shaped slotted tubes as shown on page 9.
* To determine your leg length, deduct the length of the ramp section from the starting height of your platform.
Example : Your starting height was 28” and your first ramp section is an 8’ ramp, (28 - 8 = 20). The smallest
legs for ramps begin at 16” and increase in increments of 10”. The leg best used for a 20” rise is a 26” leg.
Refer to page 21 for installation of leg
* After your legs are installed you can set your first ramp section in place by placing the “ MALE ” lip of the ramp sec-
tion into the “ FEMALE ” groove of the platform. Push your ramp to the out most edge leaving a space of approximate-
ly 3” from the edge. This will allow hand clearance between the ramp rail loop and the platform rail when you add
handrails.
