3. RAMPS
3.1. CONNECT RAMP SECTIONS
3.1.1. Place the walking surface side of the ramp sections face down onto cardboard or lawn
so that the ramp is not scratched, dented, or damaged.
3.1.2. Butt the two sections together end-to-end, ensuring there is no gap, and then position
the two center saddle brackets, included in the CONNECTOR – RAMP TO RAMP, over
the threaded inserts at the end of each ramp section (FIG. 3.1).
3.1.3. One edge of the center saddle bracket will slide into the lower hook of ramp side rail.
3.1.4. To create a run, ramp sections are connected using two center saddle brackets per
joint. Handrails and ramp legs attach to the center saddle brackets.
3.1.5. Place the center saddle bracket where ramps connect and attach using four each
5/16″-18 x 1-1/2″ bolts and 5/16″ washers per bracket. Tighten all eight bolts.
If you chose the RAMP SUPPORT TOP option, install as described in ‘RAMP
SUPPORT’ section.
3.1.6. Install four end brackets (used to attach handrails in a later step). Use one end bracket
at each outside corner of the ramp or ramp run using one 5/16″ x 1-1/2″ bolt and
washer into the threaded insert closest to the end of the ramp (FIG. 3.2).
3.1.7. Turn the joined ramps over into their upright position.
When turning ramps over, be careful not to damage the threaded studs.
3.1.8. The starter ramp (see image in SECTION 1) features a tapered section for transitioning
to the ground. It is usually the first ramp in a system and connects to other ramps as
described in this section.
The starter ramp’s tapered section must be completely supported by the
ground; do not use starter ramp in an elevated position (FIG. 3.3).
