SIMPLIFIED RAMP GRADIENT FINDER (Created by the Foundation for Promoting Personal Mobility and Ecological Transportation (Eco-Mo Foundation) Translated by the Non-Handicapping Environment (NHE) Project [How to make the FINDER] } ] | 1. Copy this page (about A4 size). } Attach the copy on the same size paperboard * Make sure to align the ground connection side below with the edge of the paperboard. (Jog) Get prepared for the string (about -m = 10.6 inches) 4. Make a pin hole at the O part on the upper right comer. * Put the string through the hole and tape it up. Attach a perforated coin (e.g., 5 centavo coin) to the other side of the string, Done and Ready to measure RAMP GRADIENT! [How to measure the RAMP GRADIENT] 1. Put the ground connection side on the ramp surface. Perceive the string location at the area of gradient criteria (1/20, v2) - When the string is located at the BLUE area, it complies with a criterion of 1/20. - When the string is located at the GREEN area, it complies with a criterion of 1/12. - When the string is located at the left area (left-leaning), the ramp gradient is steeper than the criteria. | Ground Connection Side | Put this side on the ramp surface.
