Foreword

Dear reader,

these Operating Instructions provide all information neces-

sary to operate the Easy and Easy-Flex wheelchair access

ramps safely.

The access ramp is designed and constructed in accord-

ance with state of the art technology and recognised safety

standards. Persons and materials can however be endan-

gered, as not all danger areas can be eliminated if the func-

tional capability is to be maintained. Accidents caused by

these dangers can however be prevented by strictly ob-

serving these Operating Instructions. Over and above this,

the operational efficiency of the access ramp can be used

to the full and unnecessary faults can be prevented.

After reading these Operating Instructions for the first time,

keep them in a safe place for future reference over the en-

tire lifetime of the vehicle. If you sell the vehicle, hand these

Operating Instructions over to the new owner.

All details, figures and dimensions contained in these Oper-

ating Instructions are non-binding. No claims in any form

can be derived from these.

This document must not be reproduced or duplicated, in full

or in part, without the prior, written permission of the man-

ufacturer.

The access ramp must never be converted or modified in

any way, without seeking the prior, written permission of the

manufacturer. The manufacturer will not be held responsible

in any way whatsoever if conversions or modifications are

carried out without authorisation.

Use only original spare parts or spare parts which have

been approved of by the manufacturer. If spare parts other

than these are used, this can have a negative effect on the

specified characteristics, the functionality and safety of the

access ramp. Using non-original or unauthorised spare

parts will render the guarantee null and void.

Contact our customer services department to order spare

parts or accessories (see Chapter 10, page 47).

It is therefore imperative that this Chapter is read thoroughly

and warnings herein are strictly observed. The safety infor-

mation and warnings, given at the appropriate places in the

following Chapters, must also be strictly observed. The

mation and warnings are not observed.

In addition to the information given in these Operating In-

structions, local legislative regulations must be taken into

consideration, in particular those regarding safety and acci-

dent prevention.

tions,
