PNEG-1096 Ladder, Safety Cage, & Platforms

4.00 OUTSIDE STIFFENED

EAVE SAFETY CAGE &
INTERMEDIATE REST PLATFORM

Before attaching any pieces to the ladder or
platform some preassembly will be required.
Take the safety cage hoop adjuster plate and
the safety cage adapter hoop and bolt to-
gether using the proper holes, (as shown on
following page.) Be sure the proper holes are
used depending on the diameter of the grain
bin. Be sure to use the 5/16" x 3/4" bolt with
the head of the bolt to the inside of the safety
cage. Using the improper holes will make the
safety cage more difficult to assemble. You
may now bolt this assembly to the safety
cage hoop half, tighten bolts as you go. One
of the assemblies will take 2 hoop halves and
be positioned just below the platform as
shown in the diagram. Take the assembly and
attach to the safety cage bracket and to the
platform extension angle or the hoop adapter
angle. Refer to the diagram for more infor-
mation. If holes don't align properly go back
and make sure the ladder and platform are
correctly positioned on grain bin in relation-
ship to one another. Make any corrections
necessary to complete the assembly as
shown.

PLATFORM AND HANDRAIL
ASSEMBLY

Start by attaching the platform itself to the
platform support using 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and
nuts. Place all the vertical angles in place,
making sure to place the vertical entrance
angle to the left front corner of the platform.
After all vertical angles are in place attach
front and side handrails as shown in the dia-
gram. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts and nuts in all
connections.

Safety cage platform extension angles and
safety cage hoop adapter angle will be with
the eave safety cage package. These can
now be attached to the vertical entrance
angle. Refer to the diagram at the left.
