TO HANG MODULES:

• Drill 3/8" holes in landing to match the 3/8" holes pre-drilled in Module 1.

• Place 3/8"x 4" carriage bolts in the holes in the landing, slide module onto bolts. Support lower end of module to approximate height of string line, add washers & nuts, and tighten (do not over-tighten as this will pull end piece away from lower module).

• Match module slope to string line and insure module is level side-to-side. Temporary support with bumper jacks is helpful in adjusting heights.

  Place 1'x1'pads beneath module corners and measure to top of module. Add 34" and cut 4x4s to this length.

  Attach pads to 4x4's and stand in place at lower end of Module #1. Insure that 4x4's are plumb, and module is level horizontally and at proper slope (by matching to string line). Attach beveled cross support with screws to each 4x4 at lower end of Module #1. This will hold cross support temporarily. Trimmers and bolts will be applied at lower end of Module #1 after all modules are in place. At upper end of module, place beveled cross support tightly beneath module and screw in place. Insure 4x4's are plumb.

NOTE: Modules 1, 2, and 3 could be replaced with a 58" and a 116" module.

• The cross support structures will always be 58" apart. When constructing the ramp, you will place the first support structure at the lower end of the first complete module you are working with and add remaining support structures later if the first module is 116".

• Attach Module #2 to Module #1 with 3/8" bolts and tighten firmly. Support lower end of Module #2 with jacks and match slope to string line. Cut 4x4s to length, stand in place at lower end of Module #2, and attach cross supports with screws.

• At top of Module #2, attach cross support to 4x4's with screws..

• Repeat process to add Module #3.

• The level landing is erected in the same manner as the sloped modules. In this example, a level landing is shown because it is recommended that ramps 29' or more in length have a level resting place.
