RAMP OPERATION
Ramp Manual Operation
Cable-Activated Manual Release
A cable-activated manual release engages and
disengages the hydraulic system. A T-handle is
provided for activation of the manual release (see
Figure A). Pulling the T-handle out pushes a pump
valve to release pressure (turn T-handle to lock
in released position). Disengaging the hydraulic
system allows the ramp to be manually deployed
and stowed (hydraulic pressure released).
Before Power Operation
Ensure the manual release is re-engaged before
power operation. Turn the T-handle and push the
T-handle in fully after manually operating the ramp.
The ramp cannot be power driven if the manual
release is released (T-handle out).
Manual Operation Safety
Two oval-shaped HAND HOLD slots are provided
on the ramp (see Figure B). Carefully deploy
(unfold) and stow (fold) the ramp using the
HAND
HOLDS.
Keep clear of the area in which the hinged ramp
sections fold and unfold. Keep clear of the area
where the inboard ramp side plates stow in the
SDQÁRRU.HHSFOHDURIGULYHDUPVDQGDVVLVW
chains. Remember to use good body mechanics
when folding and unfolding the ramp.
The safety precautions addressed in the Ramp
Power Operation section apply to manual opera-
tion of the ramp also. Read and become familiar
with all ramp safety precautions.
To Manually Deploy or Stow Ramp:
1. Pull T-Handle.
2. Turn T-Handle to lock ramp in re-
leased position.
3. Use HAND HOLDS to deploy or stow
ramp.
For Power Operation:
1. Turn T-Handle.
2. Push T-Handle in fully.
Note:
Turn and push T-handle in
before
operating electric pump.
Note: Push
T-Handle in
before operating
