ASSEMBLY OF MODULAR SECTIONS &
HORIZONTAL LIFE LINE FOR MULTI-LEVEL
PLATFORMS
For platforms with more than one section, it is necessary to
connect the platforms together.
a. Select the required platform for the specific platform length.
b. Align the platform on a safe level surface.
c. Adjacent platform are connected with 4 H-bracket
connectors using 2 gravity lock pins each. (see fig. 8)
d. Install horizontal life line along one side of all
platform sections, with horizontal life line
brackets at each H-Bracket connector. Between
the “H” bracket and the midrail. (see fig. 9)
e. Use the gravity lock pins to connect each H-bracket
connector and horizontal life line bracket to a platform
section. Do not hammer or force the pins into place. (see
fig. 9)
f. Use only the supplied 5/8 inch diameter gravity lock pins
and connectors. Make sure that the pins are not worn, bent
or otherwise damaged.
Never substitute alternative pins,
bolts or connectors.
g. Bring the next platform section into place, align it to the H-
brackets and connect using the gravity lock pins.
h. After each pin is installed, ensure that the gravity lock is
rotated closed (see fig. 9) and nearly vertical to prevent the
pin from dislodging.
i. Raise the top rail to regulation height and pin it in place:
either 36 inches (910mm) or 42 inches (1100mm) high.
