4. INSTALLING SUPPORT TUBES (LEGS) TO RAMP SECTION(S):
4.1 Install universal support tube brackets to the support assembly brackets with the 3/8” studs extending
through the curved slots in the support tube brackets. Use two 3/8”-16 nylon insert locknuts and 3/8”
washers at each location but do not tighten fully (FIG. 20).
4.2 Beginning at the upper end of the ramp system, loosen the set screws in the support tube brackets as
needed and install the support tubes through the support tube brackets into the polymer foot. Make
sure the correct support tube is used for the location in the system and position the foot so it extends
beneath the ramp.
4.3 Cut support tubes (legs) to approximately 2” above the support tube bracket (FIG. 21).
Ramp support tubes (legs) should extend at least 1” but no more than 2-1/4” above the support
tube bracket to avoid interference with the guards.
4.4 Use the hole in the foot as a template to drill 11/32” or 3/8” hole through the support tube.
4.5 Install a 5/16”-18 x 3” long hex bolt through the support tube and foot then secure with the
5/16”-18 nylon insert locknut and tighten the thumb screw securely.
