REJUVENATOR
Protected Design, Rejuvenator® Patent: 001947466.
STEP 1.
To cover your work area, always align the mats so that the connectors are
positioned in the same direction, as illustrated:

INSTALLATION:
Place a drop of “SuperGlue”
on the male connectors
and press down lightly for
5 seconds. Repeat this
Male Connectors
process completing one
row at a time.
STEP 3.
Attach safety ramps to the mats. After the ramps are attached, the corner
section must be cut off the rest of the ramps and installed along that edge.
Simply cut this corner off with a utility knife or a large shears. Use the indented
line on the surface of the ramp as a guide.
When attaching the safety ramps, it is best to start at one end of the mat
installation and work your way around. The end of the first ramp will create a
corner.

ERGODECK
Protected Design, ErgoDeck®. U.S. Patent No. 8,006,443.
IMPORTANT: Wear leather or Kevlar® gloves when
cutting and handling gritted products.
STEP 1.
Plan the layout. When laying out the area, position the tiles so that the edges
without the tabs are to the inside corner. This will make installation faster and
easier.
STEP 2A.
Lay the second tile over the first, placing the male side over the female
interlocks. Using a rubber mallet, secure the tiles together. Repeat this process
completing one row at a time. ErgoDeck can be assembled with bare hands, but
we do not recommend this method as it increases installation time.
When our LockSafe system is totally engaged, the tiles are accurately aligned
without gaps creating a neat and clean installation.
STEP 2B.
ErgoDeck is designed for easy, on site customization. The tiles can be cut every
3” and still connect. Although the tiles and ramps can be cut with an industrial
shears, if you have multiple tiles to modify, we recommend the use of a band
saw or a Skil® saw. These will also insure a straight cut.
For best results, flip the tile upside down. Cut along lines as indicated in the
photo. The line equally bisects the circular support.
To modify tiles to fit around an object or other impediment, it is not necessary to
flip the tile over. Simply measure and cut along the surface.

STEP 3.
Attach safety ramps to the tiles. If you intend to add corner ramps, attach one
corner and then add the other ramps from that point.
Designed for simplicity, the ramps and corners will connect to either the male or
female side of an ErgoDeck tile.
To attach the female side of an ErgoDeck tile, simply cut these connectors off
with a utility knife.
To protect your hands when using a utility knife, always wear leather or Kevlar®
gloves. These connectors can also be quickly removed using a Skil® saw.
If a corner is used, the ramps bisect the tile connections for increased stability
and support.

F.I.T. TILES
Protected Design, F.I.T.®. U.S. Patent No. 3,739,710
STEP 1.
Plan the layout. When laying out the area, position the tiles so that the edges
without the tabs are to the inside corner. This will make installation faster and
easier.
STEP 2.
Lay the second tile over the first, placing the male side over the female
interlocks.
Using a rubber mallet, secure the tiles together. Repeat this process completing
one row at a time. F.I.T. can be assembled with bare hands, but using a mallet
simplifies the installation process.
STEP 3.
F.I.T. is designed for on site customization. The tiles can be cut every 3” and still
connect. Just cut the tiles and reconnect for a seamless installation.
STEP 4.
Attach safety ramps to the tiles. Designed for simplicity, the ramps and ramps
with corners will connect to either the male or female side of a F.I.T. tile.
All ramps are manufactured with the female connectors and easily “lock” to the
male side of a F.I.T. tile.
Although the tiles and ramps can be cut with an industrial shears, if you have
multiple tiles to modify, we recommend the use of a band saw or a Skil® saw.
These will also insure a straight cut.
