Attach the vertical support pieces to the existing hoop halves using the 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts (with
the heads on the inside of the cage). Fasten two (2) hoop halves together and bolt to other end of vertical
supports. Attach cage hoop brackets to ladder,
Refer to Figure 5K on Page 29 for proper attachment.
Once cage hoop brackets have been installed, attach cage hoop halves and tighten bolts. Repeat
installation for each safety cage required.
After all three (3) hoop assemblies
are in place, attach the 48" vertical
supports from hoop assembly to hoop
assembly, as shown in
Figure 5N .
This requires ten (10) supports, five (5)
between each set of hoops. The second
set of vertical supports must be bent at
the flat area to allow for the tapering
of the bottom hoop assembly. Use
5/16" x 3/4" bolts (unless otherwise
noted) with the head of the bolt to the
inside of the safety cage.
