Troubleshooting

Ramp feels unstable when in place

Ensure the ramp is positioned correctly and sits flush against the obstacle. Check that the surface it's resting on is firm and level. For temporary use, ensure it's not placed on a significantly uneven or soft ground.

Difficulty moving the ramp

The ramp is designed to be lightweight (5.5kg). Ensure you are using the integrated carry handle for easier transport.

Anti-slip surface effectiveness reduced

Clean the surface thoroughly with water and a brush to remove dirt, mud, or other residues that might be affecting grip.

Wheelchair/scooter wheel catches on the edge

Ensure the ramp is correctly aligned with the direction of travel and that the wheels are directed towards the center of the ramp. Check that the ramp's side edges are intact.
