NRS Healthcare M49251 User manual

Safety Precautions
When choosing a ramp, the length, and therefore
the angle of the ramp depend upon:
·The height to be raised
·The type of wheelchair or scooter
·The weight of the wheelchair or scooter
and the user
·The strength of the helper or user.
As a general guide, a raise of 1 in 12 is suggested
when the user is seated on the wheelchair or
scooter.
For loading an unmanned wheelchair or scooter
into a vehicle, a higher gradient can be used, but
this should not exceed 1 in 3. In addition to this, it
is important that you refer to your vehicle’s user
guide for the proper degree of incline/decline and
direction before using the ramp.
- Never exceed its recommendations.
·Only carry the ramp using the carry
handles. Take care when lifting; follow
standard manual handling procedures.
·Take particular care when using the ramp
in wet/damp conditions.

Instructions for installation and use
1. Remove all parts from the packaging and
check the ramps are free from damage.
2. Extend the ramp to the desired length. To
extend the ramp, hold it horizontally or lay it
on the floor. Note: If the latch is released (or
is not engaged) when the ramp is not
horizontal, the inner section may slide out
under its own weight. At full extension, the
latch will engage to prevent the inner ramp
sliding out totally
3. Position the ramps at the required distance
apart. The front and rear wheels of the
vehicle should be able to run up the ramp
freely.
4. Place the ramp on the landing surface
ensuring that the top lip is resting securely
on the landing surface.
5. Ensure the top lip is secure before using the
Telescopic Channel Ramps. Pre-drilled
holes at the top of each section can be
used to attach the ramp to the landing
surface.
6. After use, release the latch (if fully
extended) and slide the sections back
together until the latch engages. When
locked, the ramps can be carried safely.
7. Do not exceed the maximum load.
Important Note:
To prevent the ramp from becoming dislodged
during use, ensure the top lip overlaps the landing
surface as far as possible.
We recommend attaching the ramp temporarily to
the landing using clevis pins or semi-permanently
using screws through pre-drilled holes at the top of
each section.
The surface holding the top lip needs to be
substantial; make sure that the surface and
supporting structure is of sound construction.
Care and Maintenance
·Inspect ramp regularly for signs of wear or
damage.
·Do not use if the ramp is damaged.
·Clean regularly, wipe over with a solution
of mild detergent and water. Remove any
grit that may have become caught
between the sections.

from defects in material and workmanship.
