OPERATION
Power Ramp Safety: Be certain there is adequate clear-
ance outside the Rampvan before deploying the power
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 power ramp moving parts. Do not attempt to grip or
hold the ramp during operation. Be certain the ramp pas-
senger is off the ramp before attempting to stow the ramp.

OPERATION
Ramp Safety
Never board a Rampvan ramp if you or your at-
tendant 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.
Wheelchair passengers and attendants (when
applicable), must use basic common sense and
good judgment regarding ramp safety. Each wheel-
chair passenger has a unique set of physical abili-
ties combined with the physical characteristics of his
or her wheelchair that dictate the method in which
he or she will enter and exit the Rampvan. Conse-
quently, the procedures for safe operation outlined
in this manual are general in nature. Wheelchair at-
tendants should be instructed on any special needs
and/or procedures required for safe transport of
wheelchair passengers.

OPERATION
Different types of disabilities
require different types of wheel-
chairs and different types of
wheelchair-equipped occupant
restraint belt systems (torso
restraint). It is the responsibil-
ity 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.

6WDELOL]LQJꢀ:KHHOFKDLUVꢂ 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 combined center of gravity of the occupant and
wheelchair. Be aware of the Rampvan 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 bal-
ance.
Do not operate your wheelchair on the Rampvan
ramp without assistance if you are unable to maintain
stability and balance. Counterbalance devices (anti-
tippers) may be available from your wheelchair repre-
sentative to enhance stability and balance.
Do not tilt your wheelchair without assistance. Op-
erate 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 Rampvan ramp.

OPERATION
The aid of an attendant stabilizing the wheelchair is
recommended for optimum safety. Wheelchair
passengers who intend to enter and exit their
Rampvan without the assistance of an attendant
must determine the safest and most practical
method and orientation of entering and exiting the
Rampvan based on the physical characteristics of
their personal wheelchair and his or her physical
capabilities to maintain stability while the wheelchair
is in motion on the Rampvan ramp.
:KHHOFKDLUꢀ2ULHQWDWLRQꢀDQGꢀ6HFXUHPHQWꢀ'XULQJꢀ
Transport: The wheelchair and occupant must
face the front of the vehicle and must be secured
using the Forward-Facing Wheelchair and Occupant
Belt and Track System when riding in the Rampvan.
See pages 25-34 for details.
:KHHOFKDLUꢀ$WWHQGDQWVꢂ When assisting a
wheelchair occupant, remember to use good body
mechanics. When the wheelchair is on the ramp,
the attendant must grasp the push handles (or
other) securely. Detachable wheelchair parts such
as arms 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 UHVXOWLQJꢀLQꢀSRVVLEOHꢀLQMXU\ꢀWRꢀ

on pages 30 and 31 and photos on page 34.
Keep belts clear of sharp objects. Do not alter
belts. Do not interchange belts from one position
to another. Keep the supplied belts together as a
complete set.
%HOWꢀDQGꢀ7UDFNꢀ0DLQWHQDQFHꢂ Inspect belt as-
semblies frequently. Any defects such as belt cuts,
fraying or malfunctioning call for replacement of the
entire belt assembly. “L” track must be clean and
not worn, bent or otherwise damaged (prohibiting
proper belt attachment). If there is any sign of dam-
age, wear, abnormal condition or improper operation
of belts, belt hardware (hooks, keepers, latch plate,
receptacle), or track, discontinue use and replace
components immediately.
Operate the Toyota lap and shoulder belt as instructed
in your Toyota owner’s manual. Follow all safety
precautions. Connect the Toyota lap and shoulder
belt to the lap belt extension. Position the upper torso
(shoulder) belt across the center of the shoulder.
Position the lap belt low across the front of the pelvis
(near hip). See the illustrations on pages 30 and 31
and photos on page 34.
Severe conditions (weather, environment, heavy
usage, etc.) may require more frequent inspections.
Exposure to severe conditions will dramatically
reduce the life of the system.
Position of the lap belt buckle, after adjustment, is to
be located near hip position. The belt is to be worn
low and snugly. Adjustment of the lap belt extension is
to be made at adjuster buckle. Wheelchair occupant
