2) 

The top transition plate must be anchored to a 

substantial surface to assure the ramp will not be dislodged. Use the pre-drilled holes at 
each corner of the top transition plate as guides. 

A)    

IF RESTING ON A WOODEN SURFACE: 

  i)

        Drill two ⅛” holes into the wooden surface and secure by installing a #10 x 

1½” stainless screw and #10 stainless washer into each hole (FIG. 23). 

B) 

IF RESTING ON A CONCRETE SURFACE: 

i) 

Using a marker, transfer the hole locations from the top transition plate to 
the concrete surface then remove the top transition plate. 

ii) 

Using a 5/16” masonry bit, drill two 1½” deep holes at the marked surface. 

iii) 

Lightly set lead concrete anchor into holes with a hammer. 

iv) 

Re-attach the top transition plate and align over the drilled holes. 

v) 

Secure the top transition plate by installing a #10 x 1½” stainless screw and 
#10 stainless washer into each hole. 

C) 

IF RESTING ON AN ALUMINUM PLATFORM: 

i) 

Drill two ⅛" holes and secure by installing a #10 x 1½” stainless screw and 
#10 stainless washer into each hole. 
NOTE:

  If the hole you are drilling is not coming out between two ribs on the 

underside of the platform, drill a new ⅛" hole through the top transition plate 
and platform in a position that will allow the screws to be installed between 
the ribs. 

3) 

 

A) 

If the bottom transition plate (end of ramp system) is resting at ground level, then 
anchoring the ramp is optional. 

B) 

If a bottom transition plate is resting on any type of raised area (i.e., a platform), 
it must be anchored using the same procedures as used to ‘ANCHOR TOP 
TRANSITION PLATE’.

xv) 

Place a base foot under each support tube bracket, then slide support tube 

through the bracket and onto the base foot (FIG. 21). 
NOTE: 

If used on very soft soil it may be necessary to set the base foot on 

a concrete pad. 

xvi) 

Adjust the legs one at a time. 

a)  

Raise the ramp sections (at the center saddle bracket) to take any  

sag out of the ramp run. 

b) 

Tighten the two bolts in each support bracket. 

c) 

Place end cap on support tube (FIG. 21). 

  Adjusting sections can be accomplished by having someone 

sight down the ramp while another person adjusts the ramp height. 

 Ensure that the ramp sections are parallel to each 

other. If they are not, it may be difficult to install the handrails. 

d) 

Double check that all bolts are tight, the support tubes are plumb, and 
the ramp sections are aligned parallel to one another.
