MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
6.1.
Proper maintenance and upkeep to the ramp is vital to the safety of people using the ramp
and the longevity of the product.
6.2.
Periodically check the ramp for damage and tighten any loose fasteners to ensure safety.
6.3.
At all times, keep the ramp clear of dirt, leaves, and other debris which may accumulate on
the surface. Remove accumulations and sweep ramp surface clean prior to use. If needed,
use a damp cloth or soft brush with non-alkaline detergent and water.
Rinse well and use
extra caution when the ramp surface is wet.
6.4.
If ramp surface is covered with ice and/or snow, remove before use. Snow accumulation
should be shoveled and the tread surface swept clean. Magnesium Chloride salt substitute
may be used to melt snow or ice accumulation on the ramp; however, after the snow and/or
ice threat has cleared, be sure to clean the ramp surface with non-alkaline detergent and
water to remove Magnesium Chloride residue.
Rinse well and use extra caution when the
ramp surface is wet.
