Eave Safety Cage Hoop Assembly
Before attaching any pieces to the ladders or platform, some pre-assembly is required. Attach two (2)
safety cage brackets to the 8' extension rail and one safety cage bracket to the second 4' ladder section
as shown in
Figure 5K . Bolt the safety cage hoop adjuster plates onto the extension angle as shown in
Figure 5K . Using the proper configuration depending on the bin diameter (see adapter assembly detail
on Page 30 ), bolt the safety cage hoop adapters together and attach to the safety cage hoop halves.
Be sure to use the 5/16" x 3/4" bolt with the head of the bolt to the inside of the safety cage. Bolt these
assemblies to the safety cage brackets and hoop adjuster plates (See connection detail
on Page 30 for
proper hole location). Tighten bolts as you go. The bottom assembly requires two (2) hoop halves and will
be positioned just below the platform as shown in
Figure 5K . Use the safety cage hoop adjuster angle to
secure the two (2) hoop half assemblies to the vertical entrance angle on the platform assembly.
