Slopes And Inclines - Magliner MGA81G16-3 Owner's Manual

Slopes and Inclines

The Motorized Gemini can carry up to 1,000 lbs. max under propulsion up to an 8 degree incline or
decline. If the degree of incline is steeper than 8 degrees under full load, you can simply assist the
climb with a slight push to assist the drive system.
The use of Motorized Gemini on self-contained or portable truck ramps requires extreme caution
and care. The Motorized Gemini is capable of climbing the curb of most ramps used in these
applications which could result in damaged product, damage to the Motorized Gemini, and/or an
operator injury. The Motorized Gemini is also capable of carrying loads in excess of most ramps
rated capacities. Such a condition may create ramp overloading which may cause ramp failure
resulting in damaged product, damaged equipment, and the potential for personal injury. Ramps
must be correctly and securely attached to the truck or trailer body. The absence of a smooth
transition between ramp and trailer may cause the operator to lose control or the Motorized Gemini
to perform improperly.
Ramp use requires special attention to the operating environment. Inclement weather and foreign
substances on the ramp may affect the performance and ability to operate safely. This is especially
true in restaurant deliveries where a potential exists of substances being transferred to the ramp
surface.
Battery life will be diminished when used to climb ramps fully loaded. The additional current draw
will affect overall battery life.
The following list of recommended operating methods is not intended to cover all instances or
applications, but rather address general practices to consider when using a Motorized Gemini in
conjunction with trucks and truck ramps. Your own personal experiences and the specific terrain at
each delivery site or location should dictate the specific operating methods employed.
