INSTALL ADJUSTABLE LOWER LEG BRACKETS AND LEGS
1.1.
With the exception of the ‘LEVELING FEET’ section in the Installation Supplement for PATHWAY HD
Steps, assemble and set all platforms, platform guards or two-line rails, and steps as described in the
main PATHWAY HD Code Compliant Modular Access System Manual (if applicable) and the
Installation Supplement for PATHWAY HD Steps.
1.1.1.
Instead of leveling feet, adjustable leg brackets (‘bracket’) and lower legs (‘leg’) will be
used as an alternate method to support the bottom of the riser.
1.2.
Use a c-clamp or similar device to hold a bracket against the riser side rail at 1/2” from the 2” square
lower riser corner pocket and 1-1/4” below the top of the pocket (FIG. 1.1).
1.3.
Repeat for other opposite side of riser.
1.3.1.
Clamp both brackets in place. Before drilling holes (completed in an upcoming step),
ensure that no installation issues are noted.
1.4.
Use a level on each bracket, ensuring that it is situated to allow leg to be perpendicular to the
ground plane when inserted into the bracket.
1.5.
Use holes in the bracket as a template to drill 3/8” or 11/32” holes straight through both walls of the
riser side rail. Or, alternately, mark the location, remove bracket, drill holes, and then re-clamp the
bracket in place.
1.5.1.
On each side of the riser, you should end up with two holes above the first riser tread and
two holes below the first riser tread (FIG. 1.2).
1.6.
Insert a leg into the bracket. Orient the bracket so that the leg set screws are on the side facing the
lower riser corner pocket and orient the leg so that it extends under the riser and away from the
lower end of the riser as shown (FIG. 1.2)
1.6.1.
Tighten set screws just enough to hold the leg in place while the bracket is being attached.
