To extend the ramp
Hold the ramp by the handle in your right hand, and pull the ramp
out to its full length by gripping the contact surface of the inner
part of the ramp. Position as required. If the catch device should
be moving too tightly, it can be lubricated with oil or another lub-
ricant.
Telescopic suitcase ramp
The ramp should be placed on a firm underlay.
The ramp should be positioned such that the entire bent contact
surface of the ramp is supported.
The ramp should be carried by the handles and the contact sur-
face positioned on the upper level. Then unfold the upper ramp.
The upper ramp closest to the body is extended to the desired
length and placed on the upper level. Afterwards the other half of
the upper ramp is extended. Always check that the ramp is placed
in a stable and safe way.
To prevent the suitcase ramps from sliding on underlays with low
friction, the safety pin should always be mounted before using the
ramps.
Important!
Do not start up electric wheelchairs which have stopped on the
ramp, as the various parts of the ramp may extend unintentionally
by so doing. In the event of a wheelchair stopping in the middle of
the ramp, reverse down and start from the bottom again.
Folding ramp, wide folding ramps
When setting up narrow ramps, the two parts of the ramp should
be placed parallel to one another at a distance corresponding to
the distance between the wheels of the wheelchair.
The ramp should be positioned such that the entire bent contact
surface of the ramp is supported.
The ramp should be placed on a firm underlay.
Important!
Unfold the ramp by gripping both handles.
To avoid anything getting caught up in the hinge, the ramp should
be held with the hinge opening away from the body whilst it is
being opened and closed.
