4. INSTALLING SUPPORT LEGS TO RAMP SECTION(S):
4.1 Install leg support brackets and support legs to ramp section(s) as shown in FIG. 17. Note:
Ramp support legs should extend at least 1” past the support tube bracket but no more than 20”
above the walking surface of the ramp (FIG. 18).
FIG. 17 FIG. 18
4.2 Beginning at the upper end of the ramp system, insert a support leg into the leg support bracket
(FIG. 19) and position the foot pad on the leg so it extends beneath the ramp.
4.3 Position the leg support bracket onto the end support assembly over the 3/8” diameter studs.
4.4 Check the height of the support tube above the walking surface of the ramp.
4.5 Install the leg support bracket to the end support assembly with two 3/8”-16 nuts and 3/8”
washers.
4.6 Level the leg support bracket and secure in level position using a 9/16” wrench.
4.7 Insert 3/8-16 x 3/4” bolts (two each) into the threaded holes in the leg support bracket.
4.8 Adjust the ramp height until the transition plate is resting flat on the platform surface. Tighten
both bolts, and then repeat process on the opposite side of the ramp.
4.9 Repeat process on the lower end of the ramp, again insuring that the transition plate rests flat on
the platform surface.
4.10 Use same procedure to install the support legs on the center support brackets (if present).
4.11 Have a helper site down the top edge of the ramp side rail and adjust ramp height until top edge
of ramp side rail is straight, then tighten adjusting bolt to maintain this level. Note: It is
important that the support legs are adjusted correctly so the ramp sections are aligned in a
straight fashion, neither bowing down or up (see FIG. 19 for correct positioning). Failure to adjust
properly will result in difficulty attaching the ramp guards and handrails later.
4.12 Repeat this procedure when assembling and placing ramp section(s) between platforms until the
lowest section is reached.
