Chapter 2: Intermediate Platform
Installing the Intermediate Platform
The following procedure is for the installation of the intermediate platform located below the access door.
The two 3–panel platforms are installed separately onto the sidewall and spliced together using the plat-
form splice.
1. To install the first platform section, attach the two sidewall attachment gussets (10) in the platform
assembly to the two wall attachment brackets (14) using flange bolts (2) and flange nuts (3).
NOTE:
• Align the top hole of the sidewall attachment gusset (10) to the hole next to the square
in the wall attachment bracket (14) to position the platform assembly below the access
door.
• Install the sidewall attachment gusset (10) on the outside of the angle in the wall attach-
ment brackets (14).
• Tighten the flange bolts (2) between the sidewall attachment gussets (10) and wall
attachment brackets (14) before tightening the bolts connecting the sidewall attach-
ment gussets (10) and the intermediate support angles (14) underneath the platform to
aid in leveling the platform assembly.
