BigHorn ™ Transition Ramps can be applied over expansion joints up to ½” (12mm) in width. In accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines, fill holes and cracks greater than ½” (12mm) in depth. Remove all bumps and foreign surfaces. Abrade highly polished and waxed surfaces.

B. Field-verify all dimensions for vertical path widths. Cut and modify ramps to meet specific installation requirements. Ramp underside may be beveled, planed, or ground to accommodate minor inconsistencies in existing level surfaces. 
C. Fit ramp for size and application and then apply adhesive using heavy-duty hand or air dispensing gun and spread evenly with a notched trowel on the underside of ramp. Wait 5minutes but no more than 15minutes before applying ramp to substratum. Adhesive cures in 24 hours; foot traffic is permitted after 4 hours. When applying Butyl Tape foot traffic is permitted after 4 hours.
