2.2.6. Lift each corner of the platform and install a foot on each support leg, oriented so that the
foot extends under the platform (FIG. 2.4).
The feet can be oriented in other directions if necessary due to site conditions but
may present a tripping hazard if not oriented under the platform.
It is the installer’s responsibility to install the system in a manner which is safe for
the persons on and around the system and clearly mark any hazards created by the
installation.
2.2.7. Make sure the feet are fully engaged on the legs and tighten the thumb screw on each foot
securely.
If installing on soft soil it may be necessary to set the foot on a concrete pad, or
make other arrangements. Talk with your local contractor for additional
information.
2.2.8. Using hole in foot as a template, drill an 11/32” or 3/8” hole through each support leg.
2.2.9. Install a 5/16”-18 x 3” long hex bolt through the support leg and foot, then secure with the
5/16”-18 nylon insert locknut.
2.2.10. Adjust the final height of the platform by adjusting legs, one at a time, by loosening the
outer set screws in the platform corner pockets. Using a level, adjust the platform height
and re-tighten.
2.2.11. Once the final height has been adjusted, tighten the second, lower set screw in each
platform corner pocket.
2.2.12. Insert a plug into the top of each support tube; use a rubber mallet if needed (FIG. 2.4).
2.2.13. Ensure all set screws are tightened securely.
Do not forget to tighten the upper set screws you previously snug fit.
2.3. CONNECT TWO PLATFORMS TOGETHER
2.3.1. Assemble the first platform as described in the previous steps except on the side where the
second platform will connect, install two TPPC (CONNECTOR – PLATFORM TO PLATFORM)
before installing feet onto the support legs.
Make sure the platform connector set screws are oriented outward so they will be
accessible.
Any two platforms of the same width can be connected. For example, two 5' x 5’ or 5’ x
6’ platforms are often connected to make a turn back platform.
2.3.2. Slide the platform connectors up until they contact the bottom of the platform and tighten
the set screws securely (FIG. 2.5).
2.3.3. Install a support leg stub into the open pocket in each connector until the bottom of the
stub is flush with the bottom of the connector, then tighten the set screws securely.
2.3.4. Install a plug in the top of each support leg stub.
2.3.5. Assemble the second platform as described in the previous section except only install
support legs, plugs, and feet on the opposite side of where the platforms will connect (FIG.
2.6).
2.3.6. Lift the second platform and slide the open corner pockets over the support leg stubs
extending up from the platform connectors. Tighten the set screws in the platform corner
pockets securely.
2.3.7. Adjust the platform heights and level as needed.
Make sure all the set screws in both the platform corner pockets and the platform
connectors are tightened securely before proceeding with installation.
