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.
:KHHOFKDLU$WWHQGDQWV 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 UHVXOWLQJLQSRVVLEOHLQMXU\WR

using the Forward-Facing Wheelchair and Occupant
Belt and Track System when riding in the Rampvan.
