2.6.7.8.

The installed low profile ground or bridge transition is shown (FIG. 2.19).

2.6.7.9.

If using as a bridge transition, check and adjust the height of the platform until

the bridge transition is level. Attach the bridge transition to the platform or

landing using fasteners appropriate for the surface (provided by the installer)

through the two 1/4” holes in the corners. If using as a ground transition,

anchoring is optional.

2.7. INSTALL UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE – PLATFORMS

For added stability, any platform with a walking surface over 36” high requires bracing. The

PUAB (UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE) is used for surfaces 36” up to 71”.

2.7.1.

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.

2.7.2.

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. 2.20).

2.7.3.

Opposite ends of the braces are attached to the bottom of the platform side rail at

90 degrees to each other using a 1/4”x 1” long self-drilling screw (FIG. 2.20).

Ensure that all angle braces are secured before using platform.
