2.6. INSTALL UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE - PLATFORMS
For added stability, any platform with a walking surface over 36″ high requires bracing. The PUAB
(PATHWAY ANGLE BRACE) is used for surfaces 36″ up to 72″. Walking surfaces 72″ and higher requires
cross braces in addition to the angle braces.
2.6.1. Angle braces come in pairs. Use four pairs per platform (one pair per support tube, or
side) or six pairs when two platforms are connected.
2.6.2. Use two brace bands to secure the ends of the two angle braces nearest the twist to the
support tube using a 5/16" bolt, flat washer, and nut (FIG. 2.9).
2.6.3. Opposite ends of the braces are attached to the bottom of the platform side rail at 90° to
each other using a 1/4″x 1” long self-drilling screw (FIG. 2.9).

2.7. INSTALL UNIVERSAL CROSS BRACE
2.7.1. Install UNIVERSAL CROSS BRACES on all support tubes when the walking surface is 72″ or
more above the ground. Cross braces are normally installed on all four sides (FIG. 2.10)
unless two platforms are connected.
2.7.2. Ensure that all cross braces are secured before using platform.
