Connect Two Platforms Together - EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY Assembly Manual

3.2.6. Lift each corner of the platform and install a Base Foot ("foot") on each support tube
oriented so that the foot extends under the platform (FIG. 3.4).
3.2.7. Make sure each foot is fully engaged on the tube and tighten the thumb screw securely.
3.2.8. Adjust the final height of the platform by adjusting the legs, one at a time, by loosening
the outer set screws in the platform corner pockets. Using a level, adjust the platform
height and re-tighten.
3.2.9. Once the final height has been adjusted, tighten the second, lower set screw in each
platform corner pocket.
3.2.10. To allow access to the lowermost hole in the platform post, the support tubes must not
extend more than 1/2" above the platform corner pockets. Trim the support tubes as
needed before installing plugs.
3.2.11. Insert a plug into the top of each support tube. Use a rubber mallet or similar tool as
needed (FIG. 3.4).
3.2.12. Ensure all set screws are tightened securely.
3.3. CONNECT TWO PLATFORMS TOGETHER (U-SHAPED CONFIGURATIONS ONLY)
If your system does not include a U-shaped configuration but does include a platform, skip to
'INSTALL UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE – PLATFORMS'.
3.3.1. Assemble the first platform as described in the previous steps, except on the side where
the second platform will connect, and install two PPPC (CONNECTOR – PLATFORM TO
PLATFORM) before installing feet onto the support tubes.
3.3.2. Make sure the platform connector set screws are oriented outward so they will be
accessible.
3.3.3. Slide the platform connectors up until they contact the bottom of the platform and
tighten the set screws securely (FIG. 3.5).
3.3.4. Install a support tube stub into the open pocket in each connector until the bottom of
the stub is flush with the bottom of the connector and tighten the set screws securely.
3.3.5. Install a plug in the top of each support tube stub (FIG. 3.5).
3.3.6. Assemble the second platform as described in the previous section except only install
support tubes, plugs, and feet on the opposite side of where the platforms will connect
(FIG. 3.6).
3.3.7. Lift the second platform and slide the open corner pockets over the support tube stubs
extending up from the platform connectors. Tighten the set screws in the platform
corner pockets securely.
3.3.8. Adjust the platform heights and level as needed.

PATHWAY Aluminum Wheelchair Ramp Kit Assembly Manual
The feet can be oriented in other directions if necessary due to site conditions but
may present a tripping hazard if not oriented under the platform.
It is the installer's responsibility to install the system in a manner that is safe for the
people on and around the system and clearly mark any hazards created by the
installation.
If installing on soft soil it may be necessary to set the foot on a concrete pad.
Any two platforms of the same width can be connected.
Make sure all the set screws in both the platform corner pockets and the platform
connectors are tightened securely before proceeding with the installation.
