PATHWAY Aluminum Wheelchair Ramp Kit Assembly Manual
The PRGT (RAMP GROUND TRANSITION) is only designed to transition from the
lowest ramp in the run to the ground. Do NOT USE it in any other location.

Do not overtighten the thread cutting screws as thread stripping can result.
The hex washer head screws will keep the sections from sliding with respect to each
other, but the sections can still be separated until they are installed in the ramp and
resting on the ground.
