Install Ramp Handrail End Loops - EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY Assembly Manual

7.2. INSTALL RAMP HANDRAIL END LOOPS

7.2.1. The system may include end loops (FIG. 7.4). Upper and lower end loops are installed in the
same manner. If the end loop being installed does not fit correctly (i.e., the attachment plate
is angled in the wrong direction, the lower leg seems too long or short, etc.), you are most
likely trying to install it on the wrong end of the ramp or ramp run.
7.2.2. Install one #10 x 1/2" pan head Phillips self-drilling screw into each handrail (FIG. 7.6).

7.2.1.1. Install the O-ring over the swaged portion of the end loop until it rests against the
loop shoulder (FIG. 7.5).
7.2.1.2. Install one 1/4" x 1" long self-drilling hex washer head screw through the hole in
the end loop attachment plate, into the ramp handrail post, and tighten securely
(FIG. 7.6).
7.2.2.1. To assist, use a punch to create a divot on the lower side of the ramp handrail
tube approximately 1" from the end of the handrail.
An alternate method is to pre-drill the hole with a 1/8" drill bit.
7.2.2.2. Using a screwdriver, hand tighten the screw until no threads remain exposed.
