Tripp Lite SRCABLELADDER owner manual Ladder Modification Optional

3 – Installation (continued)

3-2 Ladder Modification (Optional)

Warning: When using tools to cut or drill metal, use eye protection and follow all other safety precautions recommended by the tool manufacturer and required by applicable safety regulations. Use caution and wear safety gloves when handling metal parts that have been cut to length. Sharp edges can cause personal injury and property damage.

Note: Do not modify the SRCABLELADDER accessory unless you have followed the instructions in Section 3-1 Planning and determined that modification is required. If modification is not required, proceed to Section 3-3 Ladder Assembly.

1Measure and mark the cable ladder section that will be cut.

2Use a hacksaw or other metal-cutting tool to cut through the ladder section. Make sure your cut is perpendicular to the length of the ladder and use a metal-cutting tool that will not bend or crush the ladder section.

3(Optional) After cutting, use a drill with a 3/8-inch bit to drill new pin holes in end of the ladder section. Compare the modified end of the ladder section with the unmodified end to determine where holes should be drilled. Make sure that the hole location matches your planning and measurements. You may omit this step, but drilling the pin holes and installing the pins will make the SRCABLELADDER accessory more stable.

3-3 Ladder Assembly

1Join the ladder sections A with two assembly brackets B by inserting the brackets in the ends of the ladder sections.

2Align the pin holes in the ladder sections with the pin holes in the assembly brackets and insert clevis pins C into the pin holes

(4 total). Note: The ladder sections should be flush for a standard installation.

3After inserting the clevis pins, insert a cotter pin D through the hole at the end of each clevis pin. (The straight section of the cotter pin goes through the hole.)

Proceed to Section 3-4 Installation Across Aisle or Section 3-5 Installation Within Row, depending on your application.
