Anchor Ramp Upper Transition; Angle Ramps With Respect To Platforms, Porches, Or Decks - EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY Assembly Manual

4.7. ANCHOR RAMP UPPER TRANSITION

The PRUT (RAMP UPPER TRANSITION) must be anchored to a substantial surface. Use the pre-drilled
holes at each corner of the Ramp Upper Transition as guides.
4.7.1. IF RESTING ON A WOOD SURFACE:
4.7.2. IF RESTING ON A CONCRETE SURFACE:
FIG. 4.17

4.8. ANGLE RAMPS WITH RESPECT TO PLATFORMS, PORCHES, OR DECKS

There are situations where it is necessary to angle ramps with respect to a platform, porch, or deck. If a
ramp must be angled when attaching to a platform, a PRUT (RAMP UPPER TRANSITION), which is
included in all configurations that do not have a top platform, must be used instead of a PRHP (RAMP
HANGER PAIR). The same components can be used at the top and bottom of the ramp or ramp run.
4.8.1. Angles up to approximately 3 degrees can be accommodated using the Ramp Upper
Transition if it overlaps the surface of the platform, porch, or deck by at least 1" (FIG. 4.18).
4.8.2. The Ramp Upper Transition must be anchored to the landing. Use the provided 1/4" x
1" long self-drilling screws if anchoring to an aluminum platform.
4.8.3. Refer to SECTION 4.7 for anchoring to other surfaces.

4.7.1.1. Secure Ramp Upper Transition by installing the 1/4" x 1" long self-drilling screw
through each hole (FIG. 4.17).
4.7.2.1. Using the Ramp Upper Transition as a template, transfer the hole locations to the
concrete surface and note locations with a marking device.
4.7.2.2. Remove Ramp Upper Transition. Using a 1/4" masonry bit, drill two 1-1/2" deep
holes at the marked locations.
After drilling, make sure that the holes are free of any residue and or
debris.
4.7.2.3. Re-attach the Ramp Upper Transition and align over the drilled holes.
4.7.2.4. Drive the 1/4" diameter mushroom head pin drive anchors into the holes in the
Ramp Upper Transition with a hammer until the head is seated flush with the
anchor body.
It is the owner and or installer's responsibility to use the appropriate anchor for the
Ramp Upper Transition. If the Ramp Upper Transition is being attached to a surface
other than an aluminum platform provided as part of the system, the appropriate
anchors may need to be purchased/used.
