3.4. INSTALL UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE – PLATFORMS
For added stability, any platform with a walking surface over 36″ high requires bracing. The PUAB
(PATHWAY ANGLE BRACE) is used for all surfaces 36″ elevation and over.
3.4.1. 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.
3.4.2. 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. 3.7).
3.4.3. 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. 3.7).
Ensure that all angle braces are secured before using platform.
