USING RETENTION RAMP (IF EQUIPPED)
NOTE: Some Liftgates are equipped with a retention ramp. A reten-
tion ramp, like a cart stop, prevents a load from rolling or slid-
ing off outboard end of platform. Unlike a cart stop, a retention 
ramp lets you use the entire load surface of platform. The 
catches on top of the fl ipover and a cam-like hinge action 
keep retention ramp stowed when not in use. The cam-like 
hinge also allows the retention ramp to be rotated and locked 
in retention position or in ramp position. The following proce-
dure shows how to operate a retention ramp.
CAUTION
!
To prevent injuries caused by tripping and falling, make sure     
retention ramp is in the ramp position before walking on and off 
outboard end of platform.
