6.2. ATTACH FRAME POST TO PLATFORM POST
6.2.1. At all locations where a Frame post is not connected to a rail, picketed guard or
closure component, it must be connected to a platform 2” x 2” angle post using a
closure bracket (FIG. 6.4).
6.2.2. If installing the closure bracket on a ramp with a two-line rail, first remove the
5/16”-18 x 2-1/4” long hex bolt and 5/16” flat washer from the midrail, then
reinstall through the short leg of the bracket, the frame post, and back into the
threaded insert. Orient the bracket as shown in FIG. 6.4 with the long leg contacting
the platform 2” x 2” angle post.
6.2.3. If installing the closure bracket on a ramp with a picketed guard, install a 5/16”-18 x
2-1/4” long hex bolt through a 5/16” flat washer, the short leg of the bracket, and
the hole approximately in the middle of the frame post, then secure with another
5/16” flat washer and a 5/16”-18 nylon insert locknut. Orient the bracket as shown
in FIG. 6.4 with the long leg contacting the platform 2” x 2” angle post.
6.2.4. Attach the long leg of the closure bracket to the 2” x 2” angle post using a 5/16”-18
x 1” long hex bolt, 5/16” flat washer, and a 5/16”-18 nylon insert locknut. Use an
existing hole in the angle post if possible or field drill a new 11/32” or 3/8” hole.
6.2.5. Tighten all fasteners securely.
