2. ASSEMBLE/SET RAMPS:
2.1 Begin setting ramps with the uppermost ramps in the system.
2.2 There are three different bracket types that are used to assemble ramp sections (see FIG. 13a,
FIG. 13b and FIG. 13c). All three bracket types are fit into the side rail of the ramp section and
are best installed with the ramp section placed upside down using the 5/16-18” x 1.5” hex bolts
and washers. Note: Take care that the narrow edge of the bracket engages the trough formed in
the ramp section side rail as well as aligns with the threaded inserts preinstalled in the ramp
section side rails. Use ½” wrench or socket to secure fasteners.
2.2.1 End support assembly bracket (FIG. 13a): These brackets come in a left and right pair
and attach to the upper and lower end of a ramp run to support the ends of the ramp run
when combined with support legs. These brackets also provide attachment points for the
guardrails.
2.2.2 Guard brackets (FIG. 13b): This pair of brackets provides an attachment point for the
guardrails at the mid-point of a ramp section.
2.2.3 Center support assembly bracket (FIG. 13c): This pair of brackets joins ramp sections
together and is required where ramp sections meet in a ramp run. They support the ramp
at this point when combined with support legs and provide attachment points for the
guardrails.

2.3
If using a single ramp as the first upper section:
2.3.1 Lay the ramp section upside down.
2.3.2 Install end support assembly brackets (FIG. 13a) at both ends of the ramp section. This
will require two pairs of end support brackets. Note: Make sure that the two larger
diameter studs protruding from the brackets are positioned toward the outer end of the
ramp section.
2.3.3 Install one pair of guard brackets (FIG. 13b) at mid-point of ramp section in similar
manner.
2.4 If using two or more ramp sections for uppermost ramp run:
2.4.1 Lay ramp section end-to-end upside down on a level surface (a level surface will make
sections easier to connect).
2.4.2 Install one pair of center support brackets (FIG. 13c) at each junction of two ramp
sections. Note: It is critical that the center support bracket be positioned equally with
respect to threaded inserts in the ramp sections to avoid problems aligning the guards
and handrails later. This may require measuring. There is a centering mark on the
support bracket to assist with this process.
2.4.3 Install end support assembly brackets (FIG. 13a) at both ends of the ramp run (this will
require two pairs of end support brackets). Note: Make sure that the two larger diameter
studs protruding from the brackets are positioned toward the outer end of the ramp
section.
2.4.4 Install one pair of guard brackets (FIG. 13b) at the mid-point of each ramp section
making up the run.
2.5 If using as a turn or turn-back:
