4.5. INSTALL RAMP GROUND TRANSITION
4.5.1. The PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION) consists of two sections that need to be
installed into the ramp and connected together.
The Ramp Ground Transition is only designed to transition from the lowest ramp in
the run to the ground; do NOT USE in any other location.
4.5.2. Lift the lowest end of the ramp/ramp run and bring the upper section of the Ramp
Ground Transition into the ramp end tread until the “hook” is engaged (FIG. 4.9).
4.5.3. Rotate into place (FIG. 4.10) and set back on the ground.
4.5.4. Slide the lower section into upper section (FIG. 4.11).
4.5.5. Install #8-32 x 1/2” hex washer head thread cutting screws into the screw slots on both
sides where the sections connect (FIG. 4.12).
The hex washer head screws will keep the sections from sliding with respect to each
other, but the sections can still be separated until they are installed in the ramp and
resting on the ground.
4.5.6. Holes and fasteners are included for anchoring into wood or concrete. Other methods
may be used when anchoring into other surfaces.
4.5.7. If connecting the lowest end of the ramp to a PLP (LANDING PAD), use a PRLT (RAMP
LOWER TRANSITION), which is included with the landing pad, instead of a PRGT (RAMP
GROUND TRANSITION). Please see ‘OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT’ for instructions.
