WARNINGS!

Use caution at all times. Proper maintenance and upkeep to the Platform and all system components is
vital.
The term "system" refers to the entire PATHWAY Modular Access System, including any gates, stairs,
ramps, platforms, risers, handrails, supports, transition plates, landing pads, and any/all hardware and
components which are intended to be assembled on the PATHWAY Modular Access System.
Regularly check that all parts are in good condition and check the system for damage. Ensure all fasteners
and locking mechanisms are in place and tightened. If any part of the system is damaged, loose, or missing,
DO NOT USE until system repairs can be made by a certified installer or other qualified person.
Observe and avoid all potential pinch points.
Do not tamper with or attempt to modify system components.
Do not walk, sit, stand, etc. on the system until the installation is complete.
Consult local building codes regarding securing system for wind loads.
Confirm the system is correctly leveled and positioned securely. Periodically check for ground shifts.
Metal conducts electricity! Do not use near exposed wiring, or hang lights or extension cords from system.
Never place anything on, under, or attach anything to system.
Only use components supplied or approved by manufacturer with system.
Do not sit, stand, or climb on guards, gates, handrails, or other system components.
Do not use any part of the system, to support planters, lighting, decorations, etc.
Do not play on or around system, including, but not limited to, running, jumping, bicycles, scooters,

At all times, keep the system clear of dirt, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface.
Simply sweeping the system or using a garden hose will usually suffice, but, if needed, a damp cloth or soft
brush with soap and water can be used (avoid alkaline detergents). Rinse well and use extra caution when
system surface is wet.
The system may be slippery when wet or icy.
If system surface is covered with ice and/or snow, DO NOT USE until accumulation is removed and the
tread surface swept clean. Please refer to the 'PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY' section of the main
PATHWAY® Modular Access System Assembly Manual.
