Access Door Safety Cage Hoop Assembly

Before attaching any pieces to the ladder or platform, some pre-assembly is required. Attach the safety
cage brackets to the ladder section.

(See Figure 5K on Page 29.)

Bolt the safety cage hoop adjuster plates

onto the extension angle as shown in

Figure 5T

. For the middle hoop assembly, bolt the safety cage hoop

adapters and safety cage hoop half together using the proper holes, based upon the bin diameter.

(See Page 30.)

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 this assembly to the safety cage bracket and hoop adjuster plate, tighten as you go. The bottom
assembly requires two (2) hoop halves and will be positioned just below the platform as shown in

Figure 5T

.

Use the safety cage hoop adjuster angle to secure the two (2) hoop half assemblies to the vertical entrance
angle on the platform assembly. To finish the installation, secure the access door platform assembly to the
existing safety cage assembly using the safety cage hoop adapters as shown in

Figure 5T

.
