2.2.6. Lift each corner of the platform and install a base foot on each support tube oriented so that
the foot extends under the platform (FIG. 2.5).
The feet can be oriented in other directions if necessary due to site conditions but
may present a tripping hazard if not oriented under the platform.
It is the installer’s responsibility to install the system in a manner that is safe for
the people on and around the system and clearly mark any hazards created by
the installation.
2.2.7. Make sure each foot is fully engaged on the tube and tighten the thumb screw securely.
If installing on soft soil it may be necessary to set the base foot on a concrete pad.
2.2.8. Adjust the final height of the platform by adjusting the legs, one at a time, by loosening the
outer set screws in the platform corner pockets. Using a level, adjust the platform height
and re-tighten.
2.2.9. Once the final height has been adjusted, tighten the second, lower set screw in each platform
corner pocket.
2.2.10. To allow access to the lowermost hole in the platform post, the support tubes must not
extend more than 1/2” above the platform corner pockets. Trim the support tubes as needed
before installing plugs.
2.2.11. Insert a plug into the top of each support tube. Use a rubber mallet or similar tool as
needed (FIG. 2.5).
2.2.12. Ensure all set screws are tightened securely.
2.3. CONNECT TWO PLATFORMS TOGETHER
2.3.1. Assemble the first platform as described in the previous steps, except on the side where the
second platform will connect, and install two PPPC (CONNECTOR – PLATFORM TO PLATFORM)
before installing feet onto the support tubes.
2.3.2. Make sure the platform connector set screws are oriented outward so they will be accessible.
Any two platforms of the same width can be connected. However, two 5’ x 4’
platforms are usually connected to make a turn back platform.
2.3.3. Slide the platform connectors up until they contact the bottom of the platform and tighten
the set screws securely (FIG. 2.6).
2.3.4. Install a support tube stub into the open pocket in each connector until the bottom of the
stub is flush with the bottom of the connector and tighten the set screws securely.
2.3.5. Install a plug in the top of each support tube stub (FIG. 2.6).
2.3.6. Assemble the second platform as described in the previous section except only install support
tubes, plugs, and feet on the opposite side of where the platforms will connect (FIG. 2.7).
2.3.7. Lift the second platform and slide the open corner pockets over the support tube stubs
extending up from the platform connectors. Tighten the set screws in the platform corner
pockets securely.
2.3.8. Adjust the platform heights and level as needed.
Make sure all the set screws in both the platform corner pockets and the platform
connectors are tightened securely before proceeding with the installation.
