USING YOUR RAMP
•
Always fully open/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 angled lip 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 OPEN
•
Place the ramp horizontally on the ground.
•
Pull the locking pins out of the corresponding holes.
•
Carefully lift the top ramp and fold it open using the hinged join between
the ramps until it is flat and in line with the lower ramp.
TO CLOSE
•
Carefully lift one side of the ramp using the hinged join between the
ramps, until both ramps rest on top of each other.
•
Insert the locking pins into the corresponding holes to secure the folded
ramp.
