Pan Weldment (Housing):
The pan is the stainless steel 
(casing) mounted in the vehicle 
ÁRRUV\VWHPZKLFKFRQWDLQVWKH
hydraulic pump and electrical 
components that power the ramp 
electric/hydraulic systems.  The

components from above.  The 
cover is easily removed for ac-
cess to drive components.  The 
VXEÁRRUSURYLGHVDQDQWLVNLG
surface for entry and exit when 
the ramp is deployed.  The 
RA300 stows (folds) onto the sub 
ÁRRUSURYLGLQJDQXQREVWUXFWHG
antiskid surface for entry and exit 
when the ramp is not in use.

Ramp Assembly:  The ramp 
assembly is made of an inboard 
ramp section (stage one) and an 
outboard ramp section (stage 
two).  Each aluminum ramp sec-
tion features vertical side plates 
and full antiskid surface.

Drive Arm Assembly:
The cylinder driven three stage
drive arm assembly deploys and 
stows the ramp assembly.

Deploy: Deploy is the action of 
the ramp assembly extending and 
unfolding to ground level when 
the DEPLOY (OUT) switch* is 
activated (*installer supplied).

Stow: Stow is the action of the 
ramp assembly raising and fold-
ing inward to stow position when 
the STOW (IN) switch* is acti-
vated (*installer supplied).

Stow Position: Stow position 
is achieved when the two stage 
ramp assembly is fully retracted 
and folded (resting fully on the 
pan weldment). 

Manual Override: Manual
operation is achieved without the 
use of any mechanical release or 
complicated procedures.  Simply 
use the Hand Holds provided on 

the ramp assembly to manually 
deploy or stow the ramp.  Mini-
mal physical effort is required to

the system.  Slow steady motion 
results in the least resistance and 
easy operation.  The faster you 
attempt to manually operate the 
ramp, the greater the resistance.
See Ramp Manual Operation on 
page 11 for further details.
