Liberty Series™ Ramp Installation Guide-Revision 8/1/2020
3. Quick Install Guide
1.
A high-quality evaluation greatly impacts the success of the ramp installation.
2.
Double-check your components before leaving for a job site.
3.
Confirm measurements at the site to make sure nothing has changed from the evaluation.
4.
Lay your ramp sections and platforms where they will be going, with the handrails, legs, and
hardware next to them, ensuring all parts are present and in good condition.
5.
Always start the installation at the top of the ramp, where it is entered from the house or dwelling.
6.
Slide in your universal brackets for the handrails and legs.
7.
Get a rough height of each leg for your first platform or ramp section, accounting for a door
swing, if applicable.
8.
Install the handrails and set the leg heights based on measurements. Leave bolts loose for later
adjustments.
9.
Lay the platform or ramp section into place.
10.
Repeat steps 8-10 for the remainder of the ramp until you get to the last section before the
Bottom Transition Plate (BTP).
11.
On the last ramp section, slide on the BTP before laying the last ramp section into place.
12.
Once all platforms and ramp sections are in place, confirm the pitch is correct and the slope is the
same on all runs. If your slope is inconsistent, it will show up when all the handrails are tightened,
leading to a sag or drop off.
13.
Starting at the top of the ramp and working your way down, connect all handrails and elbows,
tightening to stay in place. For some connections, you may need to cut the handrail tubing.
14.
Install the Ramp and Platform Brackets, end loops, leg caps, and other miscellaneous items.
15.
Lastly, do a final safety check to ensure all hardware is tight, and there are no exposed sharp
edges or burrs that could hurt someone.
