5.4.14.

Measure the gap between the long leg of the bracket and the post, then trim the 1-1/2” x 2”

curb to the measured length, less 1/8” to account for the threaded inserts which will be

installed after trimming (FIG. 5.8).

5.4.15.

Insert 5/16”-18 square threaded inserts into both ends of the curb. Use a rubber mallet or

similar tool to fully seat the threaded inserts as needed (FIG. 5.8).

5.4.16.

Unclamp the closure bracket and drive a 5/16”-18 x 1-1/4” self-drilling, self-tapping hex

washer head screw, centered in the slot, through the platform closure bracket and into the

ramp handrail post. Tighten securely but use caution not to overtighten and strip the

threads (FIG. 5.9).

5.4.17.

Insert 5/16”-18 x 1” hex bolts through 5/16” flat washers, the long leg of the closure

bracket, and the platform post, into the 5/16”-18 square threaded inserts installed in the

curb. Use the hole which is 1/2” above the lowermost hole in the platform post to align the

curb correctly (FIG. 5.9).

5.4.18.

Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely.
