1.02 Intended Purpose
Stepless ramps are intended for helping wheelchair users overcome height differences in the physical surroundings.
1.03 Area of Use
The Stepless ramps are suited for use wherever there is a need for wheelchair access past doorsteps and similar obstacles or from ground level to vehicle.
1.04 Conditions for Use
Stepless ramps are a carefully designed and fully developed series of transportable wheelchair ramps which can be used where wheelchair users need to overcome height differences of up to 60 cm.
Stepless ramps are available in three basic versions:

• Narrow ramps, available in plain, telescopic, folding and folding telescopic models.
• Wide ramps, available in plain, folding and folding pro models.
• EasyFold ramps. A wide ramp available in lengthwise two-fold, three-fold and telescopic models.

1.05 Placing plain, folding and telescopic ramps
When placing narrow ramps, the ramp sections are positioned in parallel with a distance equal to the distance between the wheelchair’s wheels.
The ramp is positioned so that all of the ramp’s bent resting surface is supported. The ramp must be placed on a firm surface.

Telescopic ramps – 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 lubricant.
Folding ramps – Pinch Point Hazard
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.

1.06 Placement of EasyFold ramps
Place the ramp correctly before usage, open the ramp after placement. See pictures for correct placement.

When setting up EasyFold-Pro, the ramp should be positioned such that the bent contact surface is supported. Then unfold the upper ramp. EasyFold-Pro3 folds in folds in three parts, so it is easier to store away. To unfold the ramp, pull the lock beside the handle and unfold the ramp.
1.07 Placement of Telescopic EasyFold 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 surface 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.
1.08 Important/Warnings

• Read all the operating instructions before using the ramp.

• Do not exceed the load marked on the ramp.

• The ramp should only be used for driving wheelchairs up and down.

• Wheelchairs should be driven up and down at low speed
  – without a run-up.

• The ramp should be positioned such that the entire contact surface is supported.

• The ramp should be used on a firm underlay.

• The ramp should not be used for gradients greater than 1:5.

• Watch out not to squeeze fingers when closing the ramp.

• The handle on EasyFold-Pro can not be changed if it breaks off, it will only break off if it is not placed back in place after use.

• Do not kick ore push the ramp in place

• If damage is suspected, the ramp must not be used before the dealer has authorized it.
