Vertical Supports
48" Safety Cage
After all three (3) hoop assemblies are
in place, attach the 48" vertical supports
from hoop assembly to hoop assembly,
as shown in
Figure 6O . 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.
Figure 6O Vertical Supports
Attach the vertical support pieces to the
existing hoop halves above 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 (See
general detail information
on Page 12
for proper attachment.) Once cage hoop
brackets have been installed, attach cage
hoop halves and tighten bolts. Repeat
installation for each safety cage required.
