7.
For stowage and transportation, or for loading unoccupied mobility equipment with a wider wheelbase, the
ramp can be separated into two halves (FIG. 5) by removing (2 ea.) hinge bolts and nylon locknuts (FIG. 6).
The ramp may be separated for use when loading or unloading unoccupied mobility equipment only.
When the ramp is used with occupied mobility equipment, ensure that the ramp halves are rejoined
as described in ‘STEP 10’.
8.
Place the two ramp halves in a position that facilitates the load being centered on each half (FIG. 5).
Always keep ramp loads on the centerlines (FIG. 5).
9.
Ensure that the surface area of both top lip transition plates fully overlap a secure, unobstructed, level landing
enough to safely install clevis pins (provided) or other anchoring hardware, and rests firmly against the landing
(FIG. 4).
10.
Securely anchor each ramp half before use (FIG. 5); r
efer back to ‘STEP 6’ for anchoring procedures.
11.
The ramp halves can be rejoined using provided (2 ea.) hinge pins or (2 ea.) original hinge bolts and nylon
locknuts by positioning the ramp as shown (FIG. 6).
a.
Align hinges, then insert either a hinge pin or hinge bolt and nylon locknut into each hinge assembly.
b.
If using hinge pins, ensure that the pins are closed and that the spring section of the pin is on the
underside (non-treaded side) of the ramp. If using hinge bolts and nylon locknuts, tighten securely.
When hinge pins or hinge bolts and nylon locknuts are not in use, store in one side of the hinge.
Be sure to always rejoin the ramp halves using the provided (2 ea.) hinge pins or (2 ea.)
original hinge bolts and nylon locknuts.
12.
To prevent the ramp halves from swinging open when carrying the ramp, locate both of the hook and loop tabs
(found on the non-treaded side of the ramp, near the top and bottom edges) and remove each top protective
cover.
a.
Press the hook and loop tabs together and ensure that they are firmly connected (FIG. 6).
