4.6.4.

Insert adjustable elbows into the ramp handrails and the Bolt-On Stub Rails (FIG. 4.14).

4.6.5.

Loosen the elbow assembly screws and position the adjustable elbows so they are aligned with

the adjustable elbows on the opposite side (but do not tighten), then measure the distance

between the two larger round faces. Measure both upper and lower gaps because they could

be different (FIG. 4.14).

4.6.5.1.

Trim the tubes accordingly.

4.6.6.

The procedure for installing the 1-1/2” diameter handrail tubes and adjustable elbows is the

same as installing the closure top rail (refer to ‘CLOSURES’).

4.6.7.

To connect the handrails on the “long” side of the 45-degree Angle Platform, the welded

handrail extension (shaped like an “H” with unequal legs) must first be connected to the ramp

handrail whose uppermost point ends at the angled platform (not the ramp whose lowermost

point starts at the angled platform).

4.6.7.1.

Locate an adjustable elbow (elbow assembly and disassembly shown in FIG. 4.13).
