6. SETUP AND USE
6.1. Place the ramp’s top lip transition plate (identifiable by its two pre-drilled holes) onto the upper
landing. Ensure that the surface area of the top lip transition plate fully overlaps a secure,
unobstructed, level landing enough to safely install provided clevis pins or other non-provided
anchoring hardware, and rests firmly against the upper landing (FIG. 11).
6.2. Securely anchor the ramp to the upper landing.
Ensure that the ramp is securely anchored before each use.
6.2.1. TEMPORARY: To attach temporarily using the provided clevis pins, position the ramp securely
and use the holes in the top lip transition plate as a template to drill corresponding 1/4”
holes into the upper landing (ensure drilled holes are deep enough to fully seat each clevis
pin). Fully insert a clevis pin (FIGs. 11 and 12) through the pre-drilled holes in the top lip
transition plate and into the corresponding drilled holes in the landing.
6.2.2. SEMI-PERMANENT: To attach semi-permanently using non-provided anchoring hardware,
position the ramp securely and use the holes in the top lip transition plate as a template to
identify anchor locations. Install non-provided anchoring hardware flush with the surface of
the top lip transition plate and ensure that it does not create a hazard.
Semi-permanent anchoring hardware is not provided.
When using non-provided anchoring hardware, follow the hardware
manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure the hardware is of sufficient
type and size to prevent ramp slippage or undo movement.
6.3. Install one corner protective cap onto the end (4 total) of each side rail (FIG. 12). Use construction
adhesive to bond the caps to the ramp.
