SET UP AND USE
1.
The ramp is shipped fully assembled. To unfold for use, position the ramp approximately its full length out from
a secure, unobstructed, level landing.
2.
Unfold the first top half of the ramp (labeled TOP) toward the upper landing and place the ramp so that the top
lip transition plate fully overlaps the landing and is securely supporting the ramp (FIG. 1).
3.
Unfold the second top half of the ramp so that both halves are fully extended lengthwise, with one half
positioned face down on top of the other (FIG. 2).
4.
Complete the ramp opening, exposing the entire applied slip-resistant tread surface, then center the ramp on
the upper landing (FIG. 3).
5.
Ensure that the surface area of each top lip transition plate fully overlaps a secure, unobstructed, level landing
enough to safely install clevis pins (provided) or other anchoring hardware and rests firmly against the landing
(FIG. 4).
a.
If the top lip transition plates are not long enough to fully overlap a secure, unobstructed, level landing,
a SUITCASE® Top Lip Extension (
‘
TLE
’) is an available option (sold separately). See ‘OPTIONAL
ACCESSORY’ section for more information.
6.
Securely anchor the ramp to the upper landing (FIG. 3).
a.
TEMPORARILY: To attach temporarily using the provided clevis pins, position the ramp securely and
use the hole in each top lip transition plate as a template to drill corresponding
1/4” holes into the
upper landing (ensure drilled holes are deep enough to fully seat each clevis pin). Fully insert a clevis
pin (FIG. 4) through the pre-drilled hole in each top lip transition plate and into the corresponding
drilled holes in the landing.
b.
SEMI-PERMANENTLY: To attach semi-permanently using non-provided hardware, position the ramp
securely and use the hole in each top lip transition plate as a template to identify anchor locations.
Install non-provided hardware flush with the surface of each top lip transition plate and ensure that it
does not create a hazard.
Ensure that the ramp is securely anchored before each use.
When using non-
provided hardware, follow hardware manufacturer’s installation instructions,
ensuring that hardware is of sufficient type and size to prevent ramp slippage or undo movement.
