PROPER SET UP AND USE WARNINGS
Read and follow all labels, instructions, and warnings prior to assembly and use. To obtain a copy of
complete instructions and warnings, call customer service at 1-800-451-1903.
Use caution at all times. Proper maintenance and upkeep to the PATHWAY® 3G Modular Access System
and all PATHWAY® system components is vital.
The term “system” refers to the entire PATHWAY 3G Modular Access System, including any gates, stairs,
ramps, platforms, risers, handrails, supports, transition plates, landing pads, and any/all hardware and
components which are intended to be assembled on the PATHWAY 3G Modular Access System.
Regularly check that all parts are in good condition and check the system for damage. Ensure all fasteners
and locking mechanisms are in place and tightened. If any part of the system is damaged, loose, or
missing, DO NOT USE until system repairs can be made by a certified installer or other qualified person.
Do not walk, sit, stand, etc. on the system until the installation is complete.
Consult local building codes regarding securing system for wind loads.
Use system only with a qualified helper.
Keep the system clear of debris and clutter. Do not use if walking surface is unsafe.
Confirm the system is correctly leveled and positioned securely. Periodically check for ground shifts.
Metal conducts electricity. Do not use near exposed wiring or hang lights from system.
Never place anything on, under, or attach anything to system.
Only use components supplied or approved by manufacturer with system.
Do not sit, stand, or climb on guards, gates, or handrails.
Do not use handrails, gates, or any other part of the system, to support planters, decorations, etc.
Do not play on or around system, including, but not limited to, running, jumping, bicycles, scooters,
skateboards, etc.
Properly support and restrain system in transit or storage.
At all times, keep the system clear of dirt, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface.
Simply sweeping the system or using a garden hose will usually suffice, but, if needed, a damp cloth or
soft brush with soap and water can be used (avoid alkaloid detergents). Rinse well and use extra caution
when system surface is wet.
The system may be slippery when wet or icy.
If system surface is covered with ice and/or snow, DO NOT USE until accumulation is removed and the
tread surface swept clean. Please refer to ‘DEICING SECTION’ of this for more information.
Regularly check that all parts are in good condition and check the system for damage. Ensure all fasteners
and locking mechanisms are in place and tightened. If any part of the system is damaged, loose, missing,
or unstable DO NOT USE until repairs can be made by a certified installer or other qualified person.
For additional care, usage, or general safety information, please call 1-800-451-1903.
