Passive Access (Non-Wheelchair) Instructions - BraunAbility Entervan II Owner's Service Manual

Passive (Non-Wheelchair) Access Instructions
When in the stowed (folded)
position, the ramp assembly can
be manually rotated out of the
slide door opening. This feature
allows passive (non-wheelchair)
access to the passenger side
slide door opening when desired.
The ramp assembly can also be
manually removed (details on
following page).
The ramp assembly pivots
(rotates) on two axles (top and
bottom) when the ramp latch is
disengaged. The front of the
ramp is secured to the vehicle
floor with a cable activated
spring-loaded latch.
The ramp latch is located at floor
level at the front of the ramp (see
Photo B). The latch is activated
by a release cable. The release
CAUTION
• Open door fully
before rotating ramp.
• Do not fold or unfold
ramp when ramp
latch is disengaged
or ramp is in passive
position (rotated out
of vehicle).
Failure to follow these
rules may result in
personal injury and/or
property damage.
For Passive (Non-Wheelchair) Access:
1. Press the OPEN switch or turn the Outside Key
Entry key clockwise until the door opens fully.
Release switch or key (see Delay Feature above).
2. Pull cable knob UP fully to unlatch ramp. See

cable is routed upward through
the front slide door post interior
panel. The cable is equipped
with a knob for use as a latch
release handle (see Photo A).
The knob is located adjacent to
the front top corner of the ramp
(when ramp is in stowed posi-
tion).
Open the door fully before
manually rotating ramp. Re-
lease the OPEN switch as soon
the door is fully open.
Delay Feature: After the door is
fully open, a minimum two second
delay will occur before the ramp
starts to unfold. The delay allows
the operator adequate time to
release the OPEN switch (or
outside key entry), once the door
is open - preventing the automatic
ramp from unfolding.
Do not attempt to fold or unfold
the ramp when the latch is
disengaged or the ramp is in
the passive position (rotated out
of vehicle).
The instructions provided below
outline the step-by-step proce-
dures required to manually rotate
the ramp. These instructions also
appear on Passive (Non-Wheel-
chair) Access Instructions decal
#18515 (posted on the front slide
door post interior wall panel
adjacent to the release knob).
To Store Ramp and Close Door:
1. Manually rotate ramp IN fully to latch ramp.

Entry key counterclockwise until the door closes
