connecting to each other and ramp modules.
3.10.3.1
In order to connect the bridging modules together to form a stable and secure structural
unit it is necessary to carry out the following procedure:
3.10.3.2
Once the bridge module is slung, it has to be aligned with the module fitted in place on the
sliding frame.
3.10.3.3
To connect the ramp module with the bridging module, the bridge module is slung into
position so that the top dowels on the two modules are aligned.
3.10.3.4
Sling the bridge module so that the dowels are inserted into their receptacles on the
connecting modules.
3.10.3.5
