IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION

Immediately open shipping boxes and inspect for damage or missing parts. If damaged or missing parts are

noted, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE.

Each system is shipped with a packing list. Confirm all items are present before starting installation. Also

check for shipping damage immediately upon receipt and note any freight damage on freight bill while

driver is still present. Contact shipper right away with any freight damage concerns. In most cases, freight

damage claims will not be allowed unless noted on the freight bill. Pictures of damage before the unit is

unpacked can be very helpful.

WARNINGS!

850 lb. Rated Load – never exceed the Rated Load.

Use caution at all times. Proper maintenance and upkeep to the Platform and all system components is

vital.

The term “system” refers to the entire PATHWAY Modular Access System, including any gates, stairs,

ramps, platforms, risers, handrails, supports, transition plates, landing pads, and any/all hardware and

components which are intended to be assembled on the PATHWAY Modular Access System.

Regularly check that all parts are in good condition and check the system for damage. Ensure all fasteners

and locking mechanisms are in place and tightened. If any part of the system is damaged, loose, or missing,

DO NOT USE until system repairs can be made by a certified installer or other qualified person.

Observe and avoid all potential pinch points.

Do not tamper with or attempt to modify system components.

Do not walk, sit, stand, etc. on the system until the installation is complete.

Consult local building codes regarding securing system for wind loads.

Confirm the system is correctly leveled and positioned securely. Periodically check for ground shifts.

Metal conducts electricity! Do not use near exposed wiring, or hang lights or extension cords from system.

Never place anything on, under, or attach anything to system.

Only use components supplied or approved by manufacturer with system.

Do not sit, stand, or climb on guards, gates, handrails, or other system components.

Do not use any part of the system, to support planters, lighting, decorations, etc.

Do not play on or around system, including, but not limited to, running, jumping, bicycles, scooters,

skateboards, etc.

Properly support and restrain system in transit or storage.

Keep the system clear of debris and clutter. Do not use if walking surface is unsafe.

At all times, keep the system clear of dirt, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface.

Simply sweeping the system or using a garden hose will usually suffice, but, if needed, a damp cloth or soft

brush with soap and water can be used (avoid alkaline detergents). Rinse well and use extra caution when

system surface is wet.

The system may be slippery when wet or icy.

If system surface is covered with ice and/or snow, DO NOT USE until accumulation is removed and the

tread surface swept clean. Please refer to the ‘PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY’ section of the main

PATHWAY® Modular Access System Assembly Manual.

For additional care, usage, or general safety information, please call 1-800-451-1903.

Use system only with a qualified helper. Always use your mobility device’s lap belt.

It is important that you refer to your equipment’s Owner Guide for the proper degree of incline/decline

and chair direction before attempting system use. Never exceed its recommendations. Always follow your

equipment manufacturer’s guidance.

Do not use product for anything other than its intended purpose.

1. LOW PROFILE PLATFORMS

1.1. INSTALL PLATFORMS: It is strongly suggested that all platforms and ramps be installed before installing

handrails (see ‘HANDRAILS’ in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual).

1.1.1. There are three types of platforms (one or more of these platform arrangements may be

used in an installation). All three require the same procedure for assembly except for

FIG.1.3 which requires an additional MPPC (PLATFORM TO PLATFORM CONNECTOR).

FIG. 1.1 Low profile platform straight configuration.

FIG. 1.2 Low profile platform turn configuration.

FIG. 1.3 Low profile platform turn back configuration (two 5' x 4' platforms

shown combined to make 5' x 8’ turn back platform).

FIG. 1.1

FIG. 1.2

FIG. 1.3

- 5 -

1.2. INSTALL SUPPORT TUBES AND FEET AND ADJUST PLATFORM HEIGHT:

1.2.1. If the Low Profile Platform is being used as a landing pad, simply set it on the ground in the

desired location and proceed with the steps in the next section.

1.2.2. Support tubes, plugs, and feet for the Low Profile Platforms are installed in the same

manner as standard platforms. Refer to ‘INSTALL SUPPORT TUBES AND FEET AND ADJUST

PLATFORM HEIGHT’ in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual.

Do not attempt to walk on the platform until all support tube set screws have been

tightened securely.

1.3. CONNECT TWO PLATFORMS TOGETHER:

1.3.1. Low Profile Platforms are connected in the same manner as standard platforms. Refer to

‘CONNECT TWO PLATFORMS TOGETHER’ in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System

Manual.

1.4. INSTALL UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE OR CROSS BRACE:

1.4.1. Requirements for bracing Low Profile Platforms are the same as standard platforms. Refer

to ‘INSTALL UNIVERSAL ANGLE BRACE AND INSTALL UNIVERSAL CROSS BRACE’ in the main

PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual.

2. INSTALL RAMPS ON LOW PROFILE PLATFORMS

This section addresses the attachment of a ramp (or ramp run) to a platform. If the ramp needs to be

angled with respect to the platform, refer to ‘ANGLE RAMPS WITH RESPECT TO PLATFORMS, PORCHS, OR

DECKS’ in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual instead of this section.

2.1. Locate the MRHPLP (RAMP HANGER PAIR LOW PROFILE). Install two hangers onto the side of the

platform where the ramp will be attached.

2.2. Hold the hanger perpendicular (approximately) to the platform side rail, then bring the hanger upward

until it is against the side rail lip. Rotate the hanger and continue pushing upward in such a manner that

the “hook″ at the top of the hanger goes behind and catches on the lip in the top of the platform side rail

and the hanger sits on the ledge at the bottom (FIG. 2.1).

FIG. 2.1

- 6 -

2.3. Set the ramp on the hangers. The hangers should be positioned as close as possible to the ramp side rails.

The procedure is the same at both the top and bottom of ramp runs which end at a platform unless a

transition plate is used (FIG. 2.2).

Do not attempt to walk on ramps until installation is complete.

2.4. Proceed with the system installation as described in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual

and secure all ramps to platforms as described in the ‘Ramp End Clip Installation Instructions Addendum’

as part of the final steps.

FIG. 2.2

- 7 -

3. INSTALL PLATFORM HANDRAILS

3.1. Platform handrail assembly for Low Profile Platforms is the same as standard Platforms. Refer to

‘HANDRAILS’ in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System Manual and assemble the handrails in the

manner appropriate for the desired configuration.

The only installation difference between Low Profile Platforms and standard Platforms is where the

handrail inserts into the platform corner pockets. On the Low Profile Platform, both handrail set

screws are above the platform walking surface (FIG. 3.1), instead of having one underneath the deck

as they are on the standard Platform.

3.2. Tighten two set screws per handrail post on the inside of each corner pocket with a 3/16″ Allen wrench.

3.3. Proceed with the system installation as described in the main PATHWAY® Modular Access System

Manual.

FIG. 3.1

4. FINAL CHECKS

4.1. Ensure that all fasteners are in place and secure.

4.2. Walk on the assembled system, checking for any undue movement.

4.3. Remove any debris and metal chips.

4.4. Ensure that the level and slope has not shifted during installation.
