2. PLATFORMS
2.1. INSTALL PLATFORMS
If your system does not include a platform, skip to ‘CONNECT RAMP SECTIONS’.
Platform handrails are shown (FIGs. 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3) for clarity of how to orient platforms in
various configurations. It is strongly suggested that all platforms and ramps be installed before
installing handrails (see ‘HANDRAILS’ section).
2.1.1. There are three basic platform arrangements (one or more of these platform arrangements
may be used in an installation). All three require the same procedure for assembly except
for FIG. 2.3, which requires an additional TPPC (CONNECTOR - PLATFORM TO PLATFORM).
FIG. 2.1
Platform in straight configuration
FIG. 2.2
Platform in turn configuration
FIG. 2.3
Platforms in turn back configuration
(Any two platforms with equal length sides can be connected in a turn back configuration)
