INSTALLING HANDRAILS
6.1
If you did not purchase the
ramp with handrails, skip ahead to the ‘SETUP AND USE’
section.
If walking on the ramp, handrails are required and must be installed.
Regardless of the handrail style, attaching handrails to the ramp follows the same process.
6.2
Place the walking surface side of the ramp face down, onto cardboard or lawn so that the ramp is not
damaged (scratched or dented).
6.3
Install one end bracket (‘bracket’) on each corner of the ramp (FIG. 4).
6.3.1
Slide the upper lip of the bracket into the groove in the ramp side rail.
6.3.2
Using the holes shown (FIG. 4), align the innermost hole of the end bracket over the threaded
insert on the ramp, then secure the bracket to the ramp by inserting a 5/16”-18 x 1-1/2” bolt
and washer. Tighten securely with 1/2” socket or wrench.
6.4
After each bracket (4 total) is installed and secured, turn the ramp to its upright position, being careful
not to damage the studs in the brackets.
