OPERATION
Ramp 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 Entervan. Consequently,
the procedures for safe operation outlined in this
manual are general in nature. Wheelchair attendants
should be instructed on any special needs and/or
procedures required for safe transport of wheelchair
passengers.
Follow all safety instructions regarding torso re-
straints, stability, balance, weight distribution and
use of attendants as specified 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 Entervan
sales representative to ensure your ability to do so
safely.
Never board an Entervan 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. The wheelchair
passenger and/or attendant must ensure the ramp is
fully deployed before exiting the vehicle.
It is the responsi-
bility of the wheel-
chair operator to
enter and exit the
Entervan on the
ramp in the safest
manner.
