8.8 When child rails are required, the lower (child) handrails and the various returns and connectors are
installed in the same manner as the upper (normal) rail using the lower set of holes provided. Refer to
instructions in previous steps.
8.8.1 The upper (adult) handrail is also installed in the same manner except the upper and lower
termination loops are not used. These components will be replaced by either a dual termination
loop (FIG. 47).
8.8.2 Install connector pieces of dual termination loop into ends of upper and lower handrails.
8.8.3 Drill two holes between 0.129” and 0.133” dia. (#30 drill size) through the handrail tube and the
connector piece in the underside of the end of each handrail where a dual termination loop is
used. Drill one hole approximately 3/4” from the end and the second hole approximately 1-3/4”
from the end.
8.8.4 Install two 1/8” dia. rivets (provided) in the end of each handrail using holes drilled in previous
step.

9. FINAL STEPS:
9.1 Once all handrails and components have been positioned and all fasteners tightened, screw transition
plates to platforms using two 1/4” x 1” long self drilling square drive screws (FIG. 48).
9.2 Ramp and platform feet can be secured to the ground with stakes or concrete anchors (not included)
using the holes provided in the feet if needed (FIG. 49).
9.3 Ensure that all fasteners are in place and tightened securely.
9.4 Walk on the assembled system, check for any slippage of components or undue movement in the
system and correct as needed.
9.5 Remove all debris and metal chips from the walking surfaces.
9.6 Ensure the level of the platforms and the slope of the ramps has not shifted during installation.
9.7 Check that all handrails are terminated with loops, returns, or end caps.
