ramp. When used, the ramp support replaces the ramp handrail end bracket pair.
7.2.1.1. Attach the ramp supports with two each 5/16"-18 x 1-1/2" hex bolts and
5/16" flat washers (FIG. 7.4).
There is a "left" and "right" support bracket, but they can be installed
on either side of the ramp, depending on whether they are used at
the upper or lower end of the ramp or ramp run. Note the two longer
studs must be oriented toward the end of the ramp, regardless of
which side they are being installed.
7.2.1.2. Install support leg brackets on the two shorter studs of the ramp supports.
Support leg brackets are installed and adjusted in the same manner as the
ramp to ramp connector (see 'CONNECT RAMP SECTIONS' section).
7.2.1.3. Support legs are installed, attached, and braced in the same manner as
other ramp support legs. Refer to 'ATTACH SUPPORT LEGS TO RAMPS'
section and complete the remaining steps.
7.2.1.4. If used with optional 48", 54" or 60" ramp transition plates (see 'RAMP
TRANSITION PLATE' section), it may be necessary to lift the end of the
ramp or ramp run to install the transition plate and adjust the height such
that the transition plate lays flat on the platform or landing.
7.2.1.5. Refer to 'ANCHOR RAMP TRANSITION PLATE' section for anchoring ramp
transition plate.
