INSTALLING (OPTIONAL) HANDRAILS
If ramp does not include optional handrails, skip to SECTION 6.
4.1.
Both handrail styles – two-line and handrails with vertical pickets – come pre-assembled. Regardless of
the style, the process of attaching handrails to the ramp is the same.
4.2.
Turn the ramp section upside down on a flat surface (do this on cardboard or a lawn so that the ramp is
not damaged).
4.3.
Locate 4 end brackets (these will be used to attach handrails in a later step) as shown in FIG. 5. One end
bracket will be installed on each corner of the ramp.
4.4.
Slide the upper lip of the end bracket into the groove in the ramp side rail (FIG. 5).
4.4.1.
Secure end bracket to the ramp by aligning the innermost hole of the end bracket over the
threaded insert on the ramp.
4.4.2.
Insert one 5/16″-18 x 1-1/2″ bolt and 5/16″-18 washer per bracket, and tighten securely with
1/2” socket or wrench.
4.5.
After all 4 brackets are installed and secured, turn the ramp to its upright position, being careful not to
damage the studs.
4.5.1.
Secure ramp to the landing (refer to SECTION 3) before continuing to install handrails.
