Delay Feature: After the door is fully open, a
minimum two second delay will occur before the
ramp starts to unfold. This delay feature is required
in order to utilize the Passive (Non-Wheelchair)
Access feature. The delay allows the operator
adequate time to release the OPEN switch once the
door is open - preventing the automatic ramp
unfolding operation from starting. The ramp assem-
bly can then be manually rotated out of the vehicle
allowing passive (non-wheelchair) access to the
door opening if so desired. See page 19 for Pas-
sive (Non-Wheelchair) Access details.
Ramp Unfolding Notes: When unfolding the ramp,
the ramp motor stops running when the ramp
reaches the nearly-horizontal position (approxi-
mately 6" - 8" above ground level). The ramp
continues to slowly lower the remaining distance
by the force of gravity.
When the ramp has unfolded beyond the vertical
(90°) position and you stop activating the DOWN
function, the ramp may continue to unfold very
slowly. This gravity-activated unfolding of the ramp
may not be visibly detected until an approximate 75°
angle is reached.
Ramp Folding Note: You must continue to press
the CLOSE switch or turn the outside key entry key
counterclockwise through the entire ramp folding
function to fold the ramp fully (stowed position). If
the ramp has not folded fully (beyond vertical - 90°
position) and you stop activating the CLOSE func-
tion, the ramp may unfold (deploy) by the force of
gravity as explained above.

Ramp Safety
Wheelchair passengers and attendants (when
applicable), must use basic common sense and
good judgement regarding ramp safety. The Braun
Corporation recognizes that each wheelchair
passenger has a unique set of physical abilities
combined with the physical characteristics of his or
her wheelchair that dictate the method in which he
or she will enter and exit their Entervan. Conse-
quently, the procedures for safe operation outlined
in this manual are general in nature.
Follow all safety instructions regarding torso re-
straints, stability, balance, weight distribution and
use of attendants as specified in the owner's manual
supplied with your wheelchair. Determine, establish
and practice ramp boarding and exiting procedures
under the direction of your health care professional,
your wheelchair representative, and your Entervan
sales representative (dealer) to ensure your ability
to do so safely.
Never board an Entervan ramp if you or your
attendant are intoxicated. The wheelchair must be
positioned in the center of the ramp at all times.
You must be able to clearly view the ramp whenever
boarding and and exiting the vehicle.
It is the responsibility of the wheelchair operator
to enter and exit the Entervan on the ramp in the
safest manner.
Stabilizing Wheelchairs
Powered and manual wheelchairs are designed to
remain upright and stable during normal operation.
All activities which involve movement in a wheel-
chair have an effect on the combined center of
gravity of the occupant and wheelchair. Be aware
of the Entervan ramp slope (angle). The slope of
the ramp has a direct effect on the center of gravity.
Keep in mind your center of gravity and your ability
to maintain stability and balance.
Do not operate your wheelchair on the Entervan
ramp without assistance if your are unable to

maintain stability and balance.
Counterbalance devices (anti-
tippers) may be available from
your wheelchair representative
to enhance stability and
balance.

Different types of disabilities require different types
of wheelchairs and different types of wheelchair-
equipped occupant restraint belt systems (torso
restraint). It is the responsibility of the wheelchair
passenger to have his or her wheelchair equipped
with an occupant restraint (seat belt) under the
direction of their health care professional.
Wheelchair attendants should be instructed on any
special needs and/or procedures required for safe
transport of wheelchair passengers.

functions and enter and exit the vehicle with your
dealer on hand to ensure the Entervan is right for
you as the end user, (applicable for your use based
on your physical abilities and the physical character-
istics of your personal wheelchair). Practice using
the wheelchair and occupant belt/track system with
your sales representative on hand. Become familiar
with the proper operation of all Entervan features.
Wheelchair Orientation and Securement During Transport:
The wheelchair and occupant must face the front of
the vehicle and must be secured using the For-
ward-Facing Wheelchair and Occupant Belt/
Track System when riding in the Entervan. See
pages 25-29 for Wheelchair and Occupant Re-
straint details.

Operation
Pre-Operation Notes and Details
Preventive maintenance consisting of careful
inspections of your Entervan systems should be a
part of your routine. Simple inspections can detect
potential kneel, door or ramp malfunctions. Regular
preventive maintenance evaluations will reduce
potential operation down time and increase the
service life of the Entervan, as well as enhancing
safety. During routine inspections, operate all
Entervan systems and note the following:
• Do the control switches function properly?
• Does the kneel feature function properly?
• Does the automatic door function properly?
• Does the automatic ramp unfold and fold properly?
• Is the power source adequate or weak?
Inspect the wheelchair and occupant restraint belts,
buckles and hardware. If there is any sign of
damage, wear, abnormal condition or improper
operation, discontinue Entervan use immediately.
Contact your dealer or call The Braun Corporation at
Preventive Maintenance
1-800-THE LIFT. One of our national service
representatives will direct you to an authorized
service repairman who will inspect your Entervan.
Preventive maintenance visual inspections do not
take the place of the procedures specified in the
Maintenance/Lubrication Schedule. The procedures
outlined in the detailed Maintenance/Lubrication
Schedule provided in this manual must be per-
formed at the recommended scheduled intervals.
Exposure to harsh weather elements or environmen-
tal conditions may reduce the service life of Entervan
systems. Road salt used to melt snow and ice in
northern climates as well as salt water climates tend
to corrode components more rapidly. Extreme dusty
or sandy conditions can cause contamination and
reduce the effectiveness of lubrication. If your
Entervan is exposed to these types of harsh condi-
tions, have your maintenance and lubrication
procedures performed often.
Opening the power slide door using either interior-
mounted yellow OPEN/CLOSE switch or using the
remote control OPEN switch does not disarm the
Chrysler factory-equipped (OEM) Anti-Theft System
(if equipped). If you open the power slide door
using one of these Entervan controls before unlock-
ing a vehicle door, the alarm system will be
triggered.
Always disarm the alarm system before opening
