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

Transport:  The wheelchair and occupant must
face the front of the vehicle and must be secured 
using the Forward-Facing Wheelchair and Occupant 
Belt and Track System when riding in the Rampvan.
