7. FINAL PLATFORM/RAMP STEPS AND CHECKS

7.1. SECURE RAMPS TO PLATFORMS

7.1.1. Once the positioning of all ramps and platforms, and installation of all handrails,
connectors, and end loops are complete, you will need to secure ramps to platforms
with Ramp End Clips ("clips"), included in PRHP – RAMP HANGER PAIR.
7.1.2. Position each clip with the hole pointing up and oriented as shown (FIG. 7.1), then insert
the short end of the clip into the small gap between the ramp and the platform in the
area where the ramp side rail overlaps the ramp end tread (FIG. 7.1).
7.1.3. Before the clip contacts the ramp side rail, rotate the clip so the short end extends into the
recess under the ramp end tread (FIG. 7.1).
7.1.4. Use the hole in the clip as a template to drill a 1/8" pilot hole in the platform side rail, then
use the 1/4" x 1" long self-drilling screws to secure the clip to the platform side rail (FIG. 7.2).
7.1.5. Top view of the completed process (FIG. 7.3).
