2. GETTING STARTED

2.1. Install the 1-1/2” diameter tube plugs into ends of the 1-1/2” diameter tubes on the gate. Use a rubber

mallet to tap plugs into place until fully engaged (FIG. 1).

FIG. 1

3. INSTALLING GATE ON A RAMP

3.1. Position the gate hinge against the ramp handrail post in the desired location. Position the gate so that

the upper gate tube aligns with the upper ramp handrail tube and the edge of the hinge is flush with the

edge of the ramp handrail post.

3.2. Use the holes in the hinge as a template and mark the locations with a pencil or similar marker. Drill

three 5/16” holes through the post at the marked locations (FIG. 2).

FIG. 2

- 5 -

3.3. Attach the gate to the ramp post using the 1/4”-20 x 2” long hex cap screws, 1/4”-20 locknuts and 1/4”

fender washers. Orient the hex cap screws with the head on the hinge side of the post and the washers

(FIG. 3).

FIG. 3

3.4. Remove the latch and latch bar from the bag containing the gravity latch and discard the included

screws (they will be replaced with the #8-32 x 1/2” long hex washer head screws).

3.5. Place the latch bar on the square tube opposite the gate hinge with the bar oriented toward the

outswing side of the gate and top of the mounting plate approximately 1” - 1-1/2” below the upper gate

tube.

3.6. Use the holes in the latch bar as a template and mark the hole centers with a pencil or similar marker.

Drill three 1/8” holes through one wall of the tube at the marked locations (FIG. 4).

3.7. Attach the latch bar to the gate using three #8-32 x 1/2” long hex washer head thread cutting screws

(FIG. 4).

FIG. 4

- 6 -

3.8. Hold the latch so it is centered on the ramp handrail post opposite the post where the gate is installed

and on the outswing side of the gate then align the catch with the latch bar. While holding the latch in

place, open and close the gate a few times to confirm the catch is working correctly and reposition up or

down if needed. After confirming the position, mark the hole centers and drill four 1/8” holes through

one wall of the ramp handrail post at the marked locations (FIG. 5).

3.9. Attach latch to the post using four #8-32 x 1/2” long hex washer head thread cutting screws (FIG. 5).

FIG. 5

4. INSTALLING GATE ON A STAIR

4.1. Assemble the stair as described in the Pathway Stair Assembly Manual and mount to the platform in

the desired location.

4.2. Locate the Pathway Stair to Gate Mounting Adapter and attach to one of the upper stair posts

(depending on which side the gate hinge will mount) using the two 5/16”-18 x 3/4” long hex bolts and

5/16” locknuts. Orient the Pathway Stair to Gate Mounting Adapter with the three smaller holes facing

the riser and the bolt on the outside of the platform as shown (see FIG. 6).

4.3. If using the Stair to Platform Connector, install two closure elbows (included with the connector) on the

platform side of the Pathway Stair to Gate Mounting Adapter instead of the 5/16” locknuts (FIG. 6).

Refer to Section 4 for Stair to Platform Connector instructions.

FIG. 6

4.4. Attach the gate to the Pathway Stair to Gate Mounting Adapter using the three 1/4”-20 x 3/4” long hex

bolt, 1/4”-20 locknuts and 1/4” fender washers. Orient the hex bolts with the head on the hinge side of

the adapter and fender washers under the bolt heads and the locknuts as shown (FIG. 7).

4.5. Install the 5/16”-18 x 5” long hex bolt into the 5/16”-18 threaded insert located opposite the hinge.

Tighten bolt until further tightening becomes difficult but do not over tighten to the point where the insert

starts spinning (FIG. 7).

FIG. 7

4.6. Remove the latch and latch bar from the bag containing the gravity latch and discard the included

screws (they will be replaced with the #8-32 x 1/2” long hex washer head screws).

- 8 -

4.7. Hold the latch so it is centered on the stair post opposite the hinge and on the outswing side of the gate

then align the catch with the bolt installed in the previous step. While holding the latch in place, open

and close the gate a few times to confirm the catch is working correctly and reposition up or down if

needed. After confirming the position, mark the locations of the holes in the latch and drill four 1/8”

holes through stair post at the marked locations (FIG. 8).

4.8. Attach latch to the post using four #8-32 x 1/2” long hex washer head thread cutting screws (FIG. 8).

5. CONNECTING A STAIR POST TO A PLATFORM POST

5.1. Assemble stair and mount to platform in desired location as described in the Pathway Stair Assembly

Manual. Assemble gate to stair using closure elbows instead of the 5/16” locknuts (see Section 4).

5.2. Install the two remaining closure elbows to the platform post opposite the closure elbows installed in

step 3.4 using 5/16”-18 x 3/4” long hex bolts but do not tighten fully (FIG. 9).

FIG. 9

5.3. Position the closure elbows attached to the stair post so the round faces are aligned with the round

faces of the closure elbow attached to the platform post on the opposite side (do not tighten fully).

5.4. Measure the distance between the two larger round faces. The gap between the upper and lower

closure elbows should be the same but both should be checked before cutting the tubes to fit (FIG. 9).

FIG. 10

- 10 -

5.5. Cut the 1-1/2″ diameter round tubes to fit the gap measured in the previous step.

5.6. Using a metal file, smooth all sharp edges from cutting the round tubes.

5.7. Disassemble the closure elbows by removing the elbow screws and nuts but do not remove the closure

elbows halves from the platform post or stair top post (FIG. 10).

5.8. Install an elbow half into each end of the cut tube until fully engaged and rotate as needed to match the

elbow halves attached to the platform post and stair top post.

5.9. Tighten internal set screws with a T-Handle Allen wrench or similar tool (FIG. 10).

5.10. Reassemble all elbows by replacing center insert and securing with the screw and nut then tighten all

fasteners, including the 5/16”-18 x 3/4” long hex bolts, securely.

5.11. Ensure all elbows are properly attached. If needed, re-tighten internal set screws to secure more rigidly.

5.12. If connecting the upper stair post opposite the hinged side of the gate to a platform post, the procedure

is the same except Pathway Stair to Gate Mounting Adapter is not installed between the stair post and

the closure elbow. Refer to Pathway Stair Assembly Manual. Assemble for additional information.

5. IMPORTANT USAGE INFORMATION

5.1. BEFORE USE: Double check to ensure that all fasteners are in place and tightened securely.

5.2. BEFORE EACH USE: Check for correct operation of the gate.

5.3. PERIODICALLY: Check and tighten hardware as needed.

5.4 FOR ADDITIONAL CARE, USE, AND OR SAFETY INFORMATION: Call customer service at 1-800-

451-1903. You may also request copies of instructions, warnings, and labels from customer service.
