JOINING BLOCKS CAN BE USED TO HELP PREVENT THE STRUCTURE TIPPING WHILE YOU FIX THE COMPONENTS TOGETHER –
COMPONENTS 200 L AND R CAN BE USED AS SPACER BLOCKS (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) TO HELP ALIGN THE SIDES AND
SURFACES
FAILURE TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS ACCURATELY MAY PREVENT THE RAMP FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND
MISSALIGN THE SURFACES WHEN BOLTED TOGETHER!
YOU MUST start at the end with the VERTICAL SIDES as these connect with the other part of the ramp.
Use components 200 L
and R (IMAGE ABOVE) as 18 mm spacing guides!
Place these either side of the surface as shown flush against the sides of the
substructure.
BALANCE / EQUALISE
by feel and sight so that the surface is sitting EQUALLY above Substructure. It is normal that
the substructure is 0.5 to 1 mm inset from the Surface when using the blocks as a guide. Once you are satisfied that the
BALANCE is correct clamp the surface to the substructure ready for drilling and fixing.
You must also check that the end of the surface and the End of the Vertical Side Panel is TOTALLY flush. Re-adjust if necessary
and Re-clamp. Drill Perpendicular to the surface through the marker point on the surface and secure with a TX25 Screw.
CLAMP THE RAMP SURFACE AND SUBSTRUCTURE TO THE TABLE AND USE THE 200 L / R BLOCKS AS SPACERS
Repeat the same process described above on the other side ensuring the end of the surface and the end of the side panel are
FLUSH.
Turn the structure 90 degrees so that the Edge of the Ramp is lined up with the table edge and repeat the process described
above to SQUARE, DRILL and SECURE the
Folding / Hinged
end of the Surface to the Substructure.
Components 200 L and R are perfect for lining up the side panels with the surface because the pointed ends fit underneath the
surface at the lowest point.
USE THE
CLAMP ON TOP OF THE HINGE BAR
and
UNDER THE TABLE
to get a secure and firm grip of
the structure. Drill through the marker
half way
along the edge of the surface to secure the surface to the side panels.
Repeat on the other side using the middle marker point to secure the surface to the substructure
