Install Platform Handrails; Final Checks - EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY Assembly Manual

INSTALL PLATFORM HANDRAILS

3.
3.1. Platform handrail assembly for Low Profile Platforms is the same as standard Platforms. Refer to
'HANDRAILS' in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual and assemble the handrails in the
manner appropriate for the desired configuration.
The only installation difference between Low Profile Platforms and standard Platforms is where the
handrail inserts into the platform corner pockets. On the Low Profile Platform, both handrail set
screws are above the platform walking surface (FIG. 3.1), instead of having one underneath the deck
as they are on the standard Platform.
3.2. Tighten two set screws per handrail post on the inside of each corner pocket with a 3/16" Allen wrench.
3.3. Proceed with the system installation as described in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System
Manual.
