4.6. INSTALL A SINGLE RAMP RUN TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE

This section (as well as 4.7 & 4.8) addresses configurations that do not include a top platform (the

ramp run will be connected to an existing landing, such as a porch, deck, stairs, etc.).

4.6.1. Turn the ramp section upside down on a flat surface. Do this on cardboard or a lawn so

that the ramp is not damaged (scratched or dented).

4.6.2. Locate PRHBPR (RAMP HANDRAIL END BRACKET PAIR). Install four end brackets (will be

used to attach handrails in a later step). Install one end bracket at each outside corner of

the ramp section using one 5/16″ x 1-1/2″ bolt and washer into the threaded insert

closest to the end of the ramp (FIG. 4.13).

4.6.3. Turn the ramp over to the upright position.

4.6.4. Place the upper end of the ramp onto supporting surface, i.e., platform, porch, etc. Once the

ramp is resting on the porch or platform, lift the upper end of the ramp and install the PRUT

(RAMP UPPER TRANSITION) into what will be the upper end of the ramp (FIG. 4.14) and the

PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION) into what will be the lower end of the ramp.

4.6.5. Maneuver the ramp to its desired position (FIG. 4.15).
