[How to make the MEASURER]

1. Copy this page (about A4 size).

2. Attach the copy on the same size paperboard.

* Make sure to align the ground connection side below with the edge of
the paperboard. (Jog)

3. Get prepared for the string (about 27cm = 10.6 inches)

4. Make a pin hole at the O part on the upper right corner.

* Put the string through the hole and tape it up.

5. Attach a perforated weight (e.g., button, coin, etc.) 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.

2. Perceive the string location at the area of gradient criteria (1/20,

1/12)

- 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.
