5. FINAL STEPS
5.1. SECURE RAMPS TO PLATFORMS:
5.1.1. After all ramps and platforms have been positioned and all handrails and/or
connectors, and end loops have been installed, ramps must be secured to
platforms with clips (included in MRHP RAMP HANGER PAIR).
5.1.2. Use two clips at all locations where a ramp meets a platform.
5.1.3. Position clip so that the long side is as close as possible and parallel to the
ramp side rail and with the clip edge extending onto the ramp side rail by
approximately 5/16
″ (FIG 5.1).
5.1.4. Drill 1/8 ″ pilot holes centered on the ramp side rails and 5/16″ from the edge
of the platform side rail then use the 1/4 ″ x 1″ long self-drilling, self-tapping
screws to secure the clip to the platform side rail.

architecturally finished handrails. IMPORTANT: Do not use on painted or
powder coated surfaces.
5.2.2. Sand in direction of the grain as shown (FIG. 5.2).
