More On SUITCASE Top Lip Extension
- Open ramp and insert one TLE under the top lip transition plate.
- Rotate the TLE upward. Ensure that the TLE is firmly seated in the top lip transition plate and that the square hole in the top lip transition plate is aligned with the hole in the TLE.
- Install the carriage bolt from the topside of TLE. Secure with washer and nut on underside of TLE and tighten the nut using a 7/16″ wrench. Repeat for other side of ramp.
- When using with TRIFOLD ramps, install the hook and loop strap onto one TLE.
- Fold ramp to storage position, then secure strap to the other TLE for transport, etc.
Warnings:
- Do not use ramp with TLE unless the carriage bolt and nut are secure
- Ensure that the top plate is secure before using. It is recommended to attach the ramp temporarily to the landing using the provided clevis pins (drill 5/16″ hole in landing) or semi-permanently using screws through the pre-drilled holes at the top of each section. To prevent ramp from becoming dislodged during use, make sure that the top plate overlaps the resting surface as far as possible. The surface holding the top plate needs to be substantial, make sure that the surface and supporting structure is of sound construction.
- Ensure the TLE surface area is resting fully on the landing during use.
- TLE is designed for use with unoccupied mobility equipment only.
Safety and Maintenance:
- Regularly check the ramp for damage, and check and tighten any loose fasteners.
- Keep ramp surface clear of ice, snow, dirt, leaves, and other debris.
- For snow/ice, remove accumulation and sweep the surface clean.
- To remove dirt, leaves, and other debris, sweeping the surface or using a garden hose will usually suffice, but, if needed, use a damp cloth or soft brush with non-alkaloid detergent and water.
- Rinse well and use extra caution if ramp surface is wet.
