4.6.18.
For the “long” side of the 45-degree Angle Platform, there are two welded Vertical Picket
panels which are inserted into the corner pockets then bolted together. Left hand and
right hand refer to looking at the “long” side from the “short” side. Insert both into their
respective corner pockets and align the bottom of the posts with the bottom of the
corner pockets. Bolt the two sections together using 5/16”-18 x 1” hex bolts, 5/16” flat
washers, and 5/16”-18 nuts as shown (FIG. 4.20).
4.6.19.
Tighten set screws in the corner pockets securely and install angle caps on top of the posts.
4.6.20.
Refer to SECTION 4.4 for installing platform handrails and attaching angle caps.
FIG. 4.20
4.6.21.
Install an adjustable elbow in the ramp handrail closest to the right-hand Vertical Picket
panel and a 1-1/2” diameter handrail tube to this elbow. Set the Handrail Support Bracket
so it is centered over the picket shown and set the 1-1/2” diameter handrail tube in the
saddle of the bracket (but do not attach), then trim the handrail tube so that a second
adjustable elbow will align (approximately) with the split between the Vertical Picket
panels (FIG. 4.21). The procedure for installing the 1-1/2” diameter handrail tubes and
adjustable elbows is the same as installing the closure top rail.
