Car Ramp Safety Guidelines

Car Ramp Safety Warning & Usage Guidelines

• Before using the ramps ensure other persons are clear of the vehicle and the ramps
• Ensure that the ramps are free from damage or corrosion before use.
• Use only a single pair of wheel ramps at the front or rear, do not use two ramps on one side of the vehicle
• Position the ramps in line with the wheels, with the steering wheel pointed straight and the incline against the tire tread
• Carefully drive the vehicle onto the automotive ramps until it is in the correct position
• Turn the engine off, apply the parking brake, get out of the vehicle and securely chock the remaining wheels on the ground
• Before starting work, walk around the vehicle ensuring it is securely positioned
• Always use jack stand if a person will be going under the vehicle
• On completion of the work, check the parking brake is still firmly on and remove the chocks
• It is important to drive very slowly when coming off the ramps to prevent the automotive bodywork from making contact with the car ramp
• Exercise caution when using these car ramps with a trailer or three wheeled vehicle
