6 GETTING STARTED

Many vehicle manufacturers issue important instructions on various aspects of the ramp installation, specific to the brand and
type of chassis. Examples:
 welding instructions or the prohibition to weld
 instructions on chassis drilling and bolt-on connections to the chassis
 recommendations on the use of mechanical or hydraulic stabilizing legs
NOTICE

ALWAYS verify and ensure compatibility between the ramp and the vehicle.

ALWAYS ensure compliance with the fitting and body building instructions issued by the vehicle manufacturer.

Make sure planned modifications to the vehicle chassis and body will not adversely affect the strength and integrity of the vehicle.

If the instructions of vehicle manufacturer conflict with the installation instructions issued by DHOLLANDIA, contact your national
DHOLLANDIA distributor for further advice. See contact info on page 3.

Verify if the installation kit is complete and that all parts needed to install the ramp, are present.

Compare the actual vehicle dimensions with the maximum installation parameters indicated in the technical documentation. If
the actual dimensions go outside of the maximum installation parameters, DON’T continue and contact your national
DHOLLANDIA distributor for further advice.

Verify and make sure that the vehicle chassis and body are strong enough to support the forces induced by the ramp at its
maximum rated capacity. Refer to the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer for calculation and construction guidelines.

Execute the required stability and weight distribution calculations.

Make sure that the body is accurately fitted to the vehicle chassis.

Remove all objects that impede the installation of the ramp (bumper bar, spare wheel carrier, etc.). If necessary, consult with
the vehicle manufacturer for replacement solutions (e.g. special spare wheel carriers, exhaust pipe modifications, etc.).

Finish the ramp in accordance with the road legislation of the country where the vehicle will be registered.

After installation, work through the checklist of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). Make sure the final inspection is signed off
by an inspector who is not part of the installation team.

During installation and testing, verify and make sure that the ramp and its moving parts don’t interfere with any of the vehicle
systems (e.g. the suspension, braking system, hydraulic and electrical circuits, etc.), or cause damage to them.
