Terminology
The term deploy indicates the
extending (outward) motion of
the ramp to the deployed posi-
tion. Stow is the retracting
(inward) motion of the ramp to
the (stowed) inoor position.
Note: Ramp operation details
provided on pages 10-14.
2 When stowing or deploy-
ing the ramp, hold the ramp
platform level with or below
the vehicle oor and walk the

Simple Stow Inoor Ramp
Operation
The term deploy indicates the
extending (outward) motion of
the ramp to the deployed posi-
tion. Stow is the retracting (in-
ward) motion of the ramp to the
(stowed) inoor position.
The ramp must be manually de-
ployed and stowed by an atten-
dant. Before stowing or deploy-
ing the ramp, be sure no passen-
gers or any part of a wheelchair
is resting on the ramp transition
ap. The ramp is equipped with
a deploy/stow pole (with handle
at top). Disengage the pole from
the B-pillar stow clip. Carefully
deploy and stow the ramp using
the handle. The pole will ex
slightly during operation.
Be sure the ramp has been fully
deployed before boarding the ramp.
The ramp is fully deployed when
the ramp transition ap (threshold
plate) drops into contact with the
surface of the ramp platform.
An oval-shaped hand hold slot is
also provided on the ramp. The
hand hold can be used as an alter-
native method of operation.
When stowing or deploying the
ramp it is recommended that the
ramp be held level with or below the
vehicle oor and walk the ramp into
or out of the vehicle.
Keep clear of the ramp enclosure
when stowing the ramp. Remember
to use good body mechanics when
deploying and stowing the ramp.
Use ramp deploy/stow handle
to deploy and stow ramp.
During operation keep ramp platform level with or below
vehicle oor and walk the ramp into or out of the vehicle.
OPERATION

Page 11
Ramp Operation Safety
Be certain there is adequate clearance outside the
vehicle before deploying the ramp. Keep clear of
area in which the ramp operates. Be certain no
person or obstruction is within the path of the ramp
when deploying or stowing the ramp. Keep clear of
all ramp moving parts.
Provide adequate
clearance outside
of vehicle to ac-
commodate ramp.
Failure to do so may
result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Keep body parts and obstructions clear of the
area in which the ramp and ramp pole operates.
Keep clear of
area in which
ramp operates.
Be aware of
ramp slope.
OPERATION

Page 12
Ramp Passenger Safety
Wheelchair passengers and attendants (when ap-
plicable), must use basic common sense and good
judgment regarding ramp safety. 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 the vehicle. Consequently,
the procedures for safe operation outlined in this
manual are general in nature. Wheelchair atten-
dants should be instructed on any special needs
and/or procedures required for safe transport of
wheelchair passengers.
Follow all safety instructions regarding torso
restraints, stability, balance, weight distribution and
use of attendants as specied 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 mobility
representative to ensure your ability to do so safely.
Never board the ramp if you or your attendant are
intoxicated. The wheelchair should be positioned
in the center of the ramp at all times. You must be
able to clearly view the ramp whenever boarding and
exiting the vehicle. The wheelchair passenger and/
or attendant must
ensure the ramp
is fully deployed
before exiting the
vehicle.
When boarding
and exiting the
vehicle position
the wheelchair on
the center of the
ramp platform. Be
sure to be clear of
the ramp side rail
barriers before
attempting to turn
off the ramp plat-
form.
Board and exit the ve-
hicle with the wheel-
chair positioned on
the center of the ramp
platform. Be sure to
clear the ramp side
rail barriers before
attempting to turn off
the ramp platform.
Failure to do so may
result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
OPERATION

Page 13
Position and fasten
the wheelchair-
equipped occupant
seat belt before
loading onto the
wheelchair ramp.
Failure to do so may
result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
It is the responsibility of the wheelchair operator to
enter and exit the vehicle on the ramp in the safest
manner.
Wheelchair-Equipped Occupant Seat Belts:
Wheelchair passengers should position and buckle
their wheelchair-equipped seat belt (torso restraint),
as specied by the manufacturer, before loading onto
a wheelchair ramp.
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 direc-
tion of their health care professional.
OPERATION

Page 14
OPERATION
Keep clear of
area in which
ramp operates.
Be aware of
ramp slope.
Stabilizing Wheelchairs:
Powered and manual
wheelchairs are designed
to remain upright and stable
during normal operation.
All activities which involve
movement in a wheelchair
have an effect on the com-
bined center of gravity of the
occupant and wheelchair.
Be aware of the ramp slope (angle). The slope of
the ramp has a direct effect on the center of grav-
ity. Keep in mind your center of gravity and your
ability to maintain stability and balance.
Do not operate your wheelchair on the ramp
without assistance if you are unable to maintain
stability and balance. Counterbalance devices
(anti-tippers) may be available from your wheel-
chair representative to enhance stability and
balance.
Do not tilt your wheelchair without assistance.
Operate the wheelchair at a slow and constant
speed when on the ramp. Do not accelerate
suddenly when on the ramp. Do not raise the
front wheelchair wheels (pull wheelie) when on
the ramp.

Page 15
The aid of an attendant stabilizing the wheelchair is
recommended for optimum safety. Wheelchair pas-
sengers who intend to enter and exit the vehicle with-
out the assistance of an attendant must determine
the safest and most practical method and orientation
of entering and exiting based on the physical char-
acteristics of their personal wheelchair and his or her
physical capabilities to maintain stability while the
wheelchair is in motion on the ramp.
Wheelchair Attendants: When assisting a wheel-
chair occupant, remember to use good body mechan-
ics. When the wheelchair is on the ramp, the atten-
dant must grasp the push handles (or other) securely.
Detachable wheelchair parts such as arm or leg rests
must never be used for hand holds or lifting supports.
Doing so could result in the detachable parts being
inadvertently detached from the wheelchair resulting
in possible injury to the wheelchair occupant and/or
the attendant.
Wheelchair Orientation and Securement During
Transport: The wheelchair and occupant must face
the front of the vehicle and must be secured using
the Forward-Facing Wheelchair Tiedown and Oc-
cupant Restraint System when riding in the vehicle.
See pages 16-33 for details.
OPERATION

Page 16
Terminology
While many of the terms are self
explanatory, several have been
specically developed to clarify
terminology which is unique to
the situation of occupant protec-
tion systems that provide both
wheelchair tiedown and occupant
restraint.
The term “restraint” is used only
in reference to the occupant and
not in reference to the wheelchair
which is “tied down”. Also, while
both wheelchair tiedowns and
occupant restraints may include
webbing material, the term “belt”
is used only in context to occu-
pant restraint. The term “strap” is
used for webbing material used
in a wheelchair tiedown.
Forward-Facing Wheelchair
Tiedown and Occupant
Restraint System:
Floor track (anchor points)
provided in the front passenger
seat and midpoint lowered oor
areas can be utilized for wheel-
chair securement and restraint of
wheelchair passenger(s).
The passenger seat can be
removed and the seat location
can be occupied by a wheelchair
passenger.
See Figure 2 for “L” track loca-
tions (anchorage points) and
wheelchair positions (Positions B
and C).
Note: Wheelchair passengers
shown at right depict the avail-
able seating positions. Wheel-
chair capacity may be limited
based on the dimensions of
specic wheelchairs and vehicle
payload capacity.
One Forward-Facing Wheelchair
Tiedown and Occupant Restraint
Belt Kit is supplied for the tie
down of one wheelchair and re-
straint of an occupant. The belt/
tiedown kit is used in conjunction
with the oor track (anchorage
points). Additional restraint sys-
tems can be purchased (option).
Refer to the following guidelines,
illustrations, photos and instruc-
tions for proper use of the tie-
down and restraint system.
The conversion offers the follow-
ing options for placement and
securement of wheelchair pas-
sengers:

for the front and two for the rear).
The straps are equipped with one
keeper tting (attachment) which
installs in the vehicle-mounted
“L” track anchorage point (details
on pages 22 and 23). A hook
(securement point) is positioned
on the opposite end of the straps
for attachment to a solid frame

Occupant Restraint
Lap and shoulder belts should bear upon
the bony structure of the body and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis with the
junction between the lap and shoulder belts
located near the passenger’s hip. Wheelchair
occupant restraints should not be held away
from the body by wheelchair components
such as armrests, panels, wheels or frame.
Follow all safety precautions and instructions
supplied by the belt manufacturer.
Lap and Shoulder Belt Options: An OEM up-
per torso lap and shoulder belt harness is typ-
ically used in conjunction with the stand alone
lap belt extension for restraint of a wheelchair
passenger. Wheelchair components may
restrict or prohibit use of the OEM lap and
shoulder belt in some cases. A multi-piece
chest and waist belt assembly is supplied as
an option for wheelchair passenger restraint
when use of the OEM lap and shoulder belt is
restricted.
