6.1.17. Measure the gap between the long leg of the bracket and the post, then trim the 1-1/2" x 2"
curb to the measured length, less 1/8" to account for the threaded inserts which will be
installed after trimming (FIG. 6.8).
6.1.18. Insert 5/16"-18 square threaded inserts into both ends of the curb. Use a rubber mallet or
similar tool to fully seat the threaded inserts as needed (FIG. 6.8).
6.1.19. Insert 5/16"-18 x 1" hex bolts through 5/16" flat washers, the long leg of the closure bracket,
and the platform post into the 5/16"-18 square threaded inserts installed in the curb. Use the
hole which is 1/2" above the lowermost hole in the platform post to align the curb correctly
(FIG. 6.9).
6.1.20. Unclamp the closure bracket and drive a 5/16"-18 x 1-1/4" self-drilling, self-tapping hex
washer head screw, centered in the slot, through the platform closure bracket and into the
ramp handrail post (FIG. 6.9). Tighten securely but use caution not to overtighten and strip
the threads.
6.1.21. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely.
