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 7K . ( See Page 48 for assembly details.) Bolt the safety cage hoop adjuster plates onto
the extension angle as shown. Using the proper configuration depending on the bin diameter (see adapter
assembly detail
on Page 74 ), 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 74 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 7K . Use the safety cage hoop
adjuster angle to secure the two (2) hoop half assemblies to the vertical entrance angle on the
platform assembly.
