EZEdge™ Transition Wheelchair Ramps

Important: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of debris before starting to guarantee maximum adhesion.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Surface

   • Clean the substrate thoroughly, removing all dust, dirt, and moisture.
     
     

2. Position the Ramp

   • Dry fit the ramp by placing it flush against the threshold to ensure a proper fit.
     
     

3. Mark the Placement

   • Use painter’s tape to outline the ramp’s position on the substrate.
     
     

4. Apply Adhesive

   • Remove the ramp and generously apply adhesive to the marked area.
   • Recommended adhesive: SikaFlex 1a (for best results, use a caulking gun and spread the adhesive evenly with a notched cement/grout hand trowel).
     
     

5. Secure the Ramp

   • Place the ramp back onto the adhesive and press it down firmly and evenly.
     
     

6. Final Adjustments

   • Apply consistent pressure to ensure full contact. Some adhesive may leak onto the tape.
   • Carefully remove the painter’s tape after the ramp is in place.
     
     

7. Clean Excess Adhesive

   • Wipe away any adhesive residue immediately using acetone or paint thinner.

Temporary Installation (Non-Permanent)

If you prefer not to permanently adhere the ramp, you may use:

• Silicone-based temporary adhesive
• Commercial-grade double-stick tape

Cutting & Trimming Instructions

• Recommended Method: Use a utility knife for the cleanest and safest cuts.
• Optional Method: A variable-speed jigsaw with an aggressive kerfed wood blade can be used for some applications. Cut at a slow speed to avoid overheating and kickback.

Warning: Do NOT use a power circular saw to cut EZEdge™ ramps.

Note: Excess adhesive can stain clothing, shoes, and carpet—clean any spills immediately.
