INTRODUCTION ® The Pathway 3G Modular Gate is universal and can be installed on a Pathway 3G Modular Ramp system or at the top of a Pathway Stair System. Hinge can be installed on left or right. Before starting installation, determine which side of the ramp or stair the hinge should be on and which direction the gate should swing based on the specific installation and the end user’s desired placement.
BASIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS 1.1. Because each installation is different, your system may or may not contain these basic components. 1.2. Ensure all components listed are present prior to assembly. 1.3. NOTE: Items not shown actual size. #8-32 X 1/2” LONG HEX WASHER 1/4”-20 X 2”...
