HANDRAIL WITH LOCATING SLEEVE INSTALLED
ATTACHING GUARDRAILS
3. Place the first handrail on the ramp surface
with the handrail toward the center of the
ramp section. Note that the posts should be
vertical; if they are not, use that guardrail on
the opposite side of the ramp.
4. Align the holes in the guardrail mounting
plates with the holes in the top of the ramp.
5. Attach the guardrail to the ramp using two
flat washers and two M10-1.5 x 110mm
[4.33"] socket head screws; there are M10-1.5
nuts on the underside of the ramp deck.
6. Using the 8mm [5/16"] T-handle hex wrench
provided, tighten the two screws enough to
keep the handrail standing vertically. It will
be easier to connect other handrails and/or
guardrails if the screws are not tight. They
will be tightened later.
7. If there is another ramp section before
coming to a landing or the wedge section,
install a 5" [13cm] long straight locating sleeve
in the bottom end of the handrail tube. Insert
half of the locating sleeve into the handrail
tube, and install a self-tapping screw to
secure the sleeve to the handrail. A drill with
an 8 mm (5/16") hex driver recommended.
The locating sleeve normally does not need to
be disassembled when the ramp is taken
down.
8. Place the handrail for the next section of ramp
on the ramp surface. Align the upper end of
the handrail with the locating sleeve and push
the handrail so the handrail engages the
locating sleeve. Then, align the holes in
the guardrail mounting plates with the holes in
the deck, install two flat washers and two
M10-2x110mm screws and tighten just
enough so the guardrail stands reasonably
straight.
