4.2 ASSEMBLY OF RIGID MODULAR SECTIONS
For platforms with more than one section, it is necessary to
assemble the modules together.
a. Bring the required rigid modules for the specific platform
length.
b. Align the modules on a level surface.
c. Adjacent modules are connected with 4 H-brackets
(PMR0025B) connectors using 2 gravity lock pins each.
(see fig. 8)
d. Use the gravity lock pins to connect each H-bracket
(PMR0025B) connector to a platform section. Do not
hammer or force the pins into place.
e. Use only the 5/8 inch diameter gravity lock pins and
connectors supplied by Tractel. Make sure that the pins
are not worn, bent or otherwise damaged. Never substitute
alternative pins, bolts or connectors.
f. Bring the next platform section into place, align it to the
H-brackets (PMR0025B) and connect using the gravity
lock pins.
g. After each pin is installed, ensure that the gravity lock is
rotated facing down vertically to prevent the pin from
dislodging. (see fig. 12)
h. Raise the top rail to regulation height and pin it in place:
either 36 inches (910mm) or 42 inches (1100mm) high.
