Intended Purpose
The Stepless Lite Ramps are intended for helping wheelchair users overcome height differences in their physical surroundings.

Area of Use
The Stepless Lite ramps are suited for use wherever there is a need for wheelchair access past doorsteps and similar obstacles or from ground level to vehicle.

Conditions of Use
Before use, check that there are no sand or other impurities on the surface. Also check that there is no other form of damage to the product. If there is sand or oil on the surface, this presents a dangerous situation as the user may slip. Remove any such object, incl. possible ice or snow before use. The warning label “Top” is placed on the back indicating the direction of your highest point. Do not mistake the top for the bottom. The upper surface has an anti-slip treatment. Do not mistake the upper surface for the back.

The ramp is folded when stored. Before use, unfold the ramp and place it on a firm underlay. The ramp should be positioned securing that the entire contact surface of the ramp is supported. While opening and closing the ramps, hold the ramps away from the body. To facilitate the handling and the transport of the 70 cm ramp a handy carrying bag can be placed on the backside of the wheelchair to carry the ramp.
