1. WARNING
- NEVER exceed the rated capacity of the ramp.
- NEVER exceed the maximum height limit listed above.
- Use caution at all times when loading and unloading.
- ONLY load and unload onto a stable, level surface.
- NEVER stand in the path of equipment or vehicle. Keep bystanders and children away.
- DO NOT leave attached ramps unattended.
- Beware of hinged areas. Keep all body parts clear of hinged areas.
- Ramp surfaces have less traction when wet. Use caution.
- Always fold and secure the ramp with the latches before carrying.
- The ramp is not a toy. DO NOT use the ramp as a jump, scaffold, bridge, ladder, or for any purpose other than its designed use.
- ALWAYS ensure the top of the ramp's attaching lip is securely fastened onto the step, landing, or vehicle before use. Use the supplied safety pins to prevent ramp kick-out.
- ALWAYS follow manufacturer recommendations for the chair or scooter.
2. OPERATION GUIDANCE
2.1 Loading wheelchair:
- Position the wheelchair facing the ramp with the front wheel forward. Roll or ride the wheelchair slowly and steadily up the ramp, ensuring the wheels follow the center of the ramp.
- Take extra care in wet conditions to ensure the wheels do not slide on the ramp.
2.2 Unloading wheelchair:
- Position the ramp as detailed above, directly behind the rear wheel of the wheelchair. Allow the wheelchair to roll backward down the ramp, ensuring the wheels follow the center of the ramp.
- Always have a qualified assistant present when using the ramp.
3. MAINTENANCE
- It is the user's responsibility to check the loading ramp and components before each use. If the ramp is damaged, it should NOT be used.
- Maintain the ramp by regular cleaning. Periodically lubricate the hinges.
