USING YOUR RAMP
Always fully extend the ramps before use to minimize the risk of injury,
and also make any ascent or descent using the ramps easier.
Select a place to use where the ramps have the minimum gradient
possible. Ensure the gradient of the ramps is not beyond the ability of
the wheelchair or occupant.
Place the narrow end of the ramp on the ground or low point, and
place the wide end of the ramp on the vehicle or high ground.
Ensure the ramps are safe before use.
TO EXTEND
Slowly pull out the narrowest section of the ramp whilst holding the
widest section, until it is locked in position.
WARNING! To prevent possible injury, please ensure when retracting
or extending the ramp that both sections are held firmly or that the
lower edge of the ramp is resting on the floor. DO NOT hold the ramp
in a raised position over feet or toes. The narrow section of ramp will
slide quickly down when the locking button is depressed.
