Temco Access Products Assembly Instructions for Steps and Ramps
|
|
FINAL ADJUSTMENT: Once all treads are in place, adjust all leg supports to provide equal bearing on earth to leg blocking. Secure leg adjuster to blocking with self tapping screw Need Photo. At the bottom of ramp, the vertical support is gusseted to provide additional strength. It is recommended that this gusset be secured in place in concrete or other permanent material Need Photos |
|
TREAD INSTALLATION: Tread materials can now be placed in the landing frames (5 ft.) and ramp frames (4 ft.). All tread materials should fit securely into the appropriate framework. Landings should be secured by drilling each tread and lower frame with a ??? Self tapping screw Need Photo. Ramp treads should be secured by installing the ??? flat bar at the edges, drilling through the flat bar, tread and lower frame using a ???self tapping screw Need Photo. Fasteners should be approximately every three feet Which Fasteners, Need Photo Note, two treads at the bottom of the ramp will be tapered to create the transition to the landing material Need photo; label treads so they don’t get used elsewhere. |

HARDWARE TIGHTENING: At this point all hardware on the system should be tightened in preparation for walking tread installation. All hardware should now be permanently tightened. |
|
HANDRAIL INSTALLATION: Handrails are installed by placing the 10 ft. sections on the ramp and 5 ft. sections on the landings. Railings are coupled together at support casting using an internal sleeve. The sleeve (Sleeve? I thought we changed to a solid slug) is compressed with a vise grip and inserted into the tubing where splices join (Need Photo). Once handrails are in place and preformed tube returns are spliced together Need Photo, they are secured by ??? self tapping screws. All holes for self tapping screws are pre-drilled in the field using a ??? drill bit. These pre-drilled holes penetrate the casting, rail, and inside sleeve. This provides a strong connection for the handrail. |
|
MID-RAILS: Mid-rails are held in place by castings (need photo of casting) that attach to the vertical support post in the pre-drilled location. Attach mid-rails starting at the upper or lower end of the system. Hardware??Tubular rail sections are attached as castings are secured to the verticals. Note that angle of casting runs parallel with tread, creating right and left configurations. Threads for attachments should be facing outward, away from ramp or landing. |
|
HANDRAILS: Handrails are held in place by strong aluminum casts inserted into the top of the square vertical support leg. Place rail castings in support legs, noting that castings are manufactured to run at the same angle as the walking tread. Casting is secured when railings are permanently attached. |
|
STAIR ASSEMBLY: If stairs are included in your system, they can be attached at the appropriate pre-drilled location at this time. The stair assembly comes pre-assembled to accommodate the designated threshold height. Attach stair leg sets as illustrated ( Need close-up photo and hardware list). Adjust leg sets as needed to final grade (Need photo of leg adjuster) |
|
RAMP ATTACHMENT: After assembling ramp sections with appropriate legs, next attach the upper section to the landing (Need photo; list hardware). Remember to sandwich the tapered filler plate at the landing/ramp juncture (Need photo) |
|
RAMP ASSEMBLY: Ramp frames may be bolted together in multiples of 1-6 five foot frames. ( Identify top and bottom sections. Show bolt pattern. List hardware). Attach legs to the ramp frames starting with the longest legs closest to the landing. Note left and right leg sets (need Photo). Left and right are determined by looking from the bottom of the ramp up to the landing. |
|
LANDING ATTACHMENT: Move the landing(s) into the approximate position anticipated on your layout. Note threshold height and door swing clearance (see ADA codes). Height of landing framework should be approximately ½“ below the threshold height. This will allow door to swing freely across the landing. Adjust legs, leveling landing frame in all directions. Provide blocking below leg adjusters as required by local code. Landing frames can now be attached to the building with ??? lag bolts, located in the pre—drilled frames. |
|
LANDING LEG ASSEMBLY: Bolt inside support legs to building side of landing framework (short legs w/adjusters). Next install longer legs with adjusters to outside of landing framework. All hardware should be snug, but not tight. This will allow for a small amount of adjustment later in the assembly process. Need close-up of leg attachment and hardware list. Also need to show short vs long legs. |
|
LANDING ASSEMBLY: As components are removed from the package, they should be laid out on the surface adjacent to the proposed finished location. Landing should be assembled first, noting the side to be attached at the doorways. If multiple landings are used, assemble these together with the appropriate hardware (??? nuts, washers, and bolts). This creates a rigid frame and assembly. |
|
LAY-OUT: it is recommended that you layout and measure where the landing/ramp/steps are to be located. Remember to check door locations, threshold heights, and direction of travel. ADA and local building codes are quite specific on egress and ramp slope. All Temco Access Products are designed and engineered to meet those specific requirements. |
|
SITE PREPARATION: Preparation of the site designated for your Landing/Ramp/Stairs should be as level as possible, before starting the assembly process. |
|
DELIVERY: Temco Access Products generally arrive with our system packaged on a 5’ x 5’ pallet, with a separate bundle of handrails and hold-down flat bar accompanying the shipment. Hardware and assembly instructions are placed inside the 5’ x 5’ palletized bundle. Components are generally placed with items to be installed first located at the top of the package. |
