1. EZ-ACCESS, a division of Homecare Products, Inc., herein referred to as Manufacturer, warrants that equipment is free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service. This limited warranty is non-transferable and applies to original owner, effective for a period of 3-years from the
date of original purchase and applies to metal structure only (excludes powder coated finish, applied non-skid tread, etc.). Proof of purchase is required. No
part of this warranty will apply to any equipment which has been subject to misuse, vandalism, negligence, alteration, accident, improper installation, or
which has been repaired outside Manufacturer's place of business in any way as in the reasonable judgment of Manufacturer, to adversely affect its performance and reliability,
nor to normal deterioration due to wear, tear and exposure, corrosion, damage caused by rain, fire, earthquake or other natural causes or acts of nature.
2. Manufacturer's obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, equipment which is returned to its place of business (PER SECTION 4 BELOW) and
which, upon examination, shall disclose to Manufacturer reasonable satisfaction to have been thus defective. Manufacturer will make the repair or replacement of defective parts
under this warranty without charge for parts or labor.
3. If Manufacturer finds that any equipment has not provided the warranted service life, Manufacturer will, as its sole obligation and the user's sole remedy for breach of this
warranty, repair or replace the unit, at its option, for a charge prorated on the following basis. The user will be allowed a credit against the list price of equivalent equipment at the
time of return to Manufacturer, in proportion to the percentage of the warranted service life remaining at the time of return to Manufacturer. Purchaser will be responsible to pay
the balance of the list price of equivalent equipment; and Manufacturer reserves the right to require payment prior to delivery of the repaired/replaced equipment. Manufacturer's
whole warranty responsibilities are summarized below. NOTE: In calculating available credit, the remaining warranted service life will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
year. YEARS 0-1: Unit repaired or replaced; YEARS 1-2: Repair or 50% $ credit (current list price multiplied by credit percentage); YEARS 2-3: Repair or 25% $ credit (current list
price multiplied by credit percentage). Manufacturer reserves the right to require Purchaser to pay for all shipping charges incurred, including return of equipment and reshipment
of replacement or repair (Government purchases exempt).
4. If Purchaser discovers a defect, he/she must call Manufacturer at 253-249-1101 to request a Return Authorization (RA) to return the merchandise to Manufacturer. The duration of
any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose shall be limited in all respects to the duration of the limited warranty and the warranty described above
shall be in lieu of any other express warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty will last so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Manufacturer neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it any other liability in connection with Manufacturer.
5. The buyer's sole and exclusive remedy in a breach of warranty action against the Manufacturer shall be for the repair or replacement of defective merchandise as provided above.
In a breach of warranty action, no other remedy, including but not limited to, incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, lost sales, injury to property, or any other
incidental or consequential loss shall be available to him/her. Labor to remove, ship, and/or reinstall ramp is not covered by manufacturer's warranty. Because some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Before using, user shall determine the suitability of
the product for its intended use and user assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith.
6. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights, which vary from state-to-state.

Available in 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, & 10-foot Lengths
Optional top lip extension is available. See below or contact your local EZ-ACCESS retailer for details.
To prevent ramp halves from swinging open, ensure that the Dual Lock™ tab
11.
(interlocking fastener) is pressed together and firmly locked in place. NOTE:
Prior to use, locate both of the 1" x ¾" Dual Lock tabs (found on the non-skid
side of the ramp, near the top and bottom edges), and then remove the top
piece (it's used only as a protective covering during shipping).
WARNING: Ensure top lip is secure before using ramp. We recommend
12.
attaching ramp temporarily to the landing using provided clevis pins (drill ¼"
hole in landing) or semi-permanently using screws through pre-drilled holes
at the top of each section. To prevent ramp from becoming dislodged during
use, make sure that the top lip overlaps the resting surface as far as
possible. The surface holding the top lip needs to be substantial and of
sound construction.
WARNING: Use ramp only with a qualified helper and always use lap
13.
belt.
WARNING: An incline chart is provided on the reverse side of this
14.
document. However, it is intended only as a guideline. It is important that you
refer to your equipment's (wheelchair or scooter) Owner Guide for the proper
degree of incline/decline and chair direction before using ramp. Never
exceed its recommendations.
SAFETY & MAINTENANCE: Regularly check ramp for damage, and check
15.
and tighten any loose fasteners. Keep ramp surface clear of ice, snow, dirt,
leaves, and other debris. For snow/ice, remove accumulation and sweep the
surface clean. To remove dirt, leaves, and other debris, sweeping the surface
or using a garden hose will usually suffice, but, if needed, use a damp cloth
or soft brush with non-alkaloid detergent and water. Rinse well and use extra
caution if ramp surface is wet.
OPTIONAL FEATURE: Increase the usefulness of the TRIFOLD
16.
®
Series Ramp with the Top Lip Extension (TLE). This optional extension
increases the standard 3" lip to become 9", allowing the ramp to clear the
rear bumper of SUVs and vans by simply attaching to the top lip of the ramp
( 4). TLE is for use with unoccupied mobility equipment only and,
DIAGRAM
when used, reduces the overall ramp weight capacity to 500 pounds.
