INTRODUCTION
Throughout this manual, the term “system” refers to the entire PATHWAY 3G 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® 3G Modular Access System.
SYMBOLS
The WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous condition/situation. The safety warnings
throughout this manual, and on your equipment, if any, are for the protection of people and property.
Failure by any operator to abide by safety warnings will result in a waiver of all liabilities, loss of your
warranty, and could result in equipment damage and or failure, property damage, risk of serious bodily
injury, and or death. The symbol may appear in various colors and in conjunction with other symbols
and with or without the written word “WARNING”.
The NOTE symbol indicates important information. Failure to obey all notes could result in improper
operation, less-than-optimum equipment performance, and at the sole discretion of the equipment
manufacturer, may void your warranty. The symbol may appear in various colors and in conjunction
with other symbols and with or without the written word “NOTE”.
WARNINGS
Maximum weight capacity is 1,000 lbs.; never exceed weight capacity.
Prior to assembly and use, read and follow all instructions, warnings, and labels. Following all
instructions and obeying all warnings before and during use is necessary for safe operation. For
additional information or to obtain replacement copies of instructions or labels, call 1-800-451-1903.
For people and mobility equipment only; not for commercial use.
Consult local building codes regarding securing the system for wind loads.
Before use with mobility equipment, refer to your mobility equipment's owner guide for acceptable
ramp usage, including proper slope/incline, chair direction, etc.; never exceed its recommendations.
Only use the system with a qualified helper.
Always use a lap belt if using the system with mobility equipment.
If walking on the system, handrails are required and must be installed.
Before each use, check the system for worn, loose, or damaged parts. If you find any of these
conditions, do not use the system and contact your dealer for service or repairs; failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
Do not use the system if it is damaged or unstable.
Do not tamper with, attempt to repair, or modify any portion of the system.
Ensure that the landings the system will be placed on are substantial and of sound construction.
Use only if the secure, unobstructed, level landings can support, at minimum, the same weight capacity
as the system (1,000 lbs.).
Ensure that the system is securely anchored before each use.
Use only if sufficient maneuvering room is available at both ends of the system to assure safe travel
when entering and exiting the system.
Do not walk, sit, stand, etc. on the system until the installation is complete.
Consult local building codes regarding securing system for wind loads.
Keep the system clear of debris and clutter. Do not use if walking surface is unsafe.
Confirm the system is correctly leveled and positioned securely. Periodically check for ground shifts.
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, or handrails.
Do not use any part of the system to support planters, lights, decorations, etc.

WARNINGS, CONT’D.
Do not run, jump, or play on or around the system, including climbing on or between the handrails.
Improper use of the system could result in serious injury.
Properly support and restrain system in transit or storage.
Do not use the system if its surface is covered with ice, snow, dirt, leaves, or other debris. Remove all
accumulations and sweep the surface clean before use.
The system may be slippery in wet conditions; use caution as traction may be reduced.
Before each use, check the system for worn, loose, or damaged parts. If you find any of these
conditions, do not use the system and contact your dealer for service or repairs; failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
Always exercise caution when handling, installing, and or using the system.
For additional care, usage, or general safety information, please call 1-800-451-1903.
Aluminum conducts electricity. Do not use or handle the system around live wiring or during electrical
storms.
