9. Fasten the bottom of the Entrance Section (1) to the branch arm, as shown in Figure I. The screws
will be screwed into the threaded inserts in the Entrance Section (1). The hardware required is as
follows: 3/8"-16 x 3-1/2" Button Head Cap Screw S/S (10), 3/8" Lock Washer S/S (21), 3/8" Flat
Washer S/S (22), and a 3/8" Nylon Washer (20).

After you have started all of these bolts, go back through and tighten all of the fasteners
installed up to this point.
Apply the 1/2" wide X 0.3" tall gasket to the top runway parts along the outside curve edge only. The
gasket should be applied on the mating surface, between the bolt holes and the inside edge of the
part.
10. Insert the Left Guard Rail (26) and the Right Guard Rail (27) into the two sockets on the top of the
Entrance Section (1), as shown in Figure J, so that the threaded stud ends come through the slide
side rails.
The hardware required to secure the studded Guard Rail legs are as follows: 3/8" Flat Washer (21),
3/8" Lock Washer (22), and a 3/8" Hex Nut (23). After all hardware has been attached tighten
each bolt securely.
Fasten the following hardware to attach the guardrail feet to the entrance section: 3/8" x 5" Button

Flat Washer (21), 3/8" Lock Washer (22), and a 3/8" Hex Nut (23). Do not fully tighten the nuts yet
because the fasteners will need to be removed later when installing the ladder or stairway.
Note: Be sure to apply anti-seize to all fasteners to prevent galling.
