4.5. INSTALL RAMP GROUND TRANSITION
4.5.1.
The PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION) consists of three sections that need to be
installed into the ramp and connected together (FIG. 4.9).
The PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION) is only designed to transition from the
lowest ramp in the run to the ground. Do NOT USE it in any other location.
4.5.2.
Lift the lowest end of the ramp/ramp run and bring the upper section of the PRGT into
the ramp end tread until the “hook” is engaged (FIG. 4.10).
4.5.3.
Rotate into place (FIG. 4.11) and set back on the ground.
4.5.4.
Slide the middle section of the PRGT onto the upper section then slide the lower section
of the PRGT onto the middle section (FIG. 4.12).
4.5.5.
Install #8-32 x 1/2” hex washer head thread cutting screws into the screw slots on both
sides where the sections connect (FIG. 4.13).
Do not overtighten the thread cutting screws as thread stripping can result.
The hex washer head screws will keep the sections from sliding with respect to each
other, but the sections can still be separated until they are installed in the ramp and
resting on the ground.
4.5.6.
Holes and fasteners are included for anchoring into wood or concrete. Other methods
may be used when anchoring into other surfaces.
4.5.7.
If connecting the lowest end of the ramp to a PLP (LANDING PAD) use a PRLT (RAMP
LOWER TRANSITION) instead of a PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION). Please see
‘OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT’ for instructions.
