Guardrail Outrigger
Outrigger
Assembly and Use
1. Place all Zip Rail Baseplate's around the leading edge of the fall hazard area, space the Zip Rail Baseplate's at
approximate lengths of the corresponding length of guardrail (10’, 7.5’ and 5’).
2. When assembling the guardrails into the Zip Rail Baseplate, position the guardrails between the fall hazard and
the installers work area. Position one leg of each guardrail into the outermost Zip Rail Baseplate retaining tube.
Maintaining the guardrail positions between the installers body and the fall hazard edge, position the tube into
the adjacent Zip Rail Baseplate retaining tube.
3. Once each guardrail tube has been inserted into the Zip Rail Baseplate retaining tube, install the retaining pins.
4. Install toe-boards if and whenever required.
Continuous Guardrail Run
Leading Edge
IMPORTANT!
Guardrail Outriggers MUST be used at both ends of any
interruption in continuous guardrail sections, or at both ends
of a continuous guardrail section.
6. The Universal Guardrail System must be installed in a continuous run, and must completely block all applicable
leading edges of potential fall hazards. Do not attempt to relocate a fully assembled system.
7. Guardrail Outriggers MUST be used at both ends of any interruption in continuous guardrail sections, or at both
ends of a continuous guardrail section. See back for example.
8. A Guardrail Outrigger is installed perpendicular to a continuous guardrail run.
IMPORTANT: Zip Base plate must be placed perpendicular to the orientation of the guardrails. The base
can be orientated with long or short edge pointed to the direction of the leading edge. To minimize trip
hazards, install short end of base away from leading edge.
