Troubleshooting

Ramp feels unstable during use

Ensure the transition plate is flush with the ground and there are no gaps. Check that the ramp is fully unfolded and lying flat. Verify that safety pins or hinges are securely engaged.

Non-slip surface is ineffective

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or residue. Inspect the surface for excessive wear that might compromise its grip.

Ramp is difficult to fold or unfold

Check for any obstructions or debris caught in the hinges. Gently try to work the hinges back and forth to loosen them. If stiffness persists, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Reflective stickers are peeling off

Clean the area where the sticker is applied and reapply it firmly. If the adhesive has failed, consider replacing the sticker with a compatible reflective tape.
