4.13 The lowest ramp run will always begin with a starter section. This section requires the same
installation procedure with two exceptions.
4.13.1 There is no end support assembly on the tapered end of the ramp section and, since it rests
on the ground, no support leg is required.
4.13.2 Only one transition plate is required at the top of the ramp run.
4.14 Install plugs in the top of all support legs.
4.15 Ramps over 3 ft. high from the ground require cross bracing.
4.15.1 Insert legs into the ramp and set ramp at the required height as described in previous steps.
4.15.2 Separate the ends of brace bands until they go around the 1-1/2” square tube and install two
bands on each leg. Orient the band so that the legs with the holes extend under the ramp
(FIG. 20).
4.15.3 The cross brace will come assembled with one bolt in the center. The brace assembly
should be placed approximately in the middle of the ramp legs with the top brace bands
approximately 42 inches from the bottom brace bands and the brace assembly under the
ramp.
4.15.3.1 If needed for the location, trim the ends of the brace assembly to fit.
4.15.4 Drill one 11/32” dia. hole on center approximately 1/2” from the end of each brace.
4.15.5 Install brace assembly using four 5/16”-18 x 1-1/2” long carriage bolts, nuts and washers in
the desired location (FIG. 20).
4.15.6 Tighten all fasteners securely.
