USING YOUR RAMP
Always fully 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 narrow 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.
•
If available, use the two cords included to check the two ramps are parallel
•
and the width is suitable for the width of the wheelchair or scooter.
TO EXTEND
Slowly pull out the narrowest section of the ramp whilst holding the
•
widest section, until it is locked in position.
To extend the ramp to its full length, continue to pull the narrowest
•
section of the ramp whilst pressing button situated upon the outside of
the ramp. Do this until the section is locked in position.
Repeat this for the other ramp.
