WARNING
Ensure that the vehicle cannot tip-over when putting weight on the ramp. If the vehicle is equipped with mechanical or hydraulic
stabilizing legs, deploy these before opening the ramp. Ensure that the stabilizing legs are positioned on solid even ground. In
case of soft terrain (sand, gravel…), solid support blocks must be used under the stabilizing legs. Failure to abide by these
instructions can result in serious bodily injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Some ramps are equipped with mechanical legs to support the platform and the hinges between the various platform sections
under heavy load. If so equipped, these support legs MUST be put in firm contact with the ground prior to loading and unloading.
If the ramp is set up to be used at ground level, measures must be taken to use it at the kerbside or other elevations. Adjust
the length of the support legs or underfill them with support blocks prior to loading or unloading. Negligence or disregard to put
the support legs in firm contact with the ground can cause mechanical damage of the platform beyond repair, and may lead to
serious bodily injury.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death, ALWAYS
make sure the platform is clearly visible to other persons
from all approach directions. DHOLLANDIA recommends
the use of 4 warning cones, placed around the work area of
the platform.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death, make
sure the working zone is sufficiently lit.
Inspect the ramp prior to each use. If any unsafe condition exists or unusual noises or movements are noticed, DO NOT use
the ramp and contact an authorized DHOLLANDIA service agent for repair. Please see ‘pre-trip inspection’ procedures under
7.7 from page 23 onwards.
