Default localizer approach and gs intercept altitude

Hi everyone. A quick question from an instrument student:

If I am flying a localizer approach where there is a glide slope intercept
alitude (lightning bolt) that is lower than the inbound altitude prior to
the final approach fix, can I descend to the gs intercept altitude although
I am flying the nonprecision approach?

For example, on this approach: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0704/00446I20.PDF

Can I descend to 2200 prior to Wesie, or do I have to stay at 2400 until
crossing the non-precision FAF?

Thanks

Matt


Unless the step has a max altitude you may use any altitude above the
min (including the GS altitude).
