B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following safety precautions must be complied with at all times:

•Vehicle must be safely parked, with engine turned off before using wheelchair

lift.

•Always be certain there are no obstructions in the vehicle (seats, tables,

speakers, etc.) that will prevent the wheelchair occupant from turning the

wheelchair to exit the vehicle with the wheelchair properly facing outward.

•Refer to Figure [23]. When exiting vehicle, alwaysface outward and look to

be certain platform is in asafe floor-level position, and the outer rollstop is in

an up and locked position.

•Unusual noises or movements should be inspected immediately by an

authorized Ricon dealer.

•Inspect the lift prior to each use. Check for loose nuts and bolts. If any

unsafe condition exists,DO NOT use the lift. Return the lift to an authorized

Ricon Dealer for repair.

•Wheelchair brakes are less effective if the wheels or lift platform are wet. Use

extreme care in wet conditions.

•Always lock wheelchair brakes (power chair users should turn off power and

set brake) before platform is put in motion.

•Refer to Figure [24].Never stand in the path of movement of the lift platform.

If the platform unfolds on someone, it can cause an injury.

•The platform rollstop is designed to prevent slow, inadvertent rolling off the

platform. The large rear wheels of a wheelchair can roll over the platform

rollstop, hence we recommend you always face outward. Hitting the platform

rollstop with the small front wheels can tip the wheelchair and injure the

wheelchair occupant. Do not expect the platform rollstop to stop a quick

moving wheelchair as it is not designed for this purpose. Use extreme care,

enter the platform slowly and lock your wheelchair brakes.

•Be certain wheelchair fits safely on platform and does not extend over the

inside or outside edges of the platform, or interfere with the operation of the

rollstop.

•Keep others clear while operating lift.

•The lift is designed for one user at a time. Do not overload lift.

•Never leave platform outside of vehicle. Always return lift to stowed position

after use.

•Do not allow children or others to play with the lift as this may be dangerous.

•Close supervision is necessary if the lift is used by or near children.

•Do not place your arms or legs in or near any folding parts of the lift.

•Do not allow anyone to stand on the platform inboard rollstop. Bending this part can cause dangerous

interference with the platform as it raises or lowers.

•Do not operate lift with a load in excess of 800 pounds (364 Kg).

- 29 -

•Refer to Figures [25] and [26].Avoid operating lift while vehicle is parked on a slope, since the lift

platform will also slope causing an unsafe condition.In both examples,the lift slopes during operation.

It is also unsafe if the road slopes in the opposite direction. If you use the lift in a unlevel, unsafely

parked position, it is at your own risk.

•Always park safely on level area before using the lift.

Besure you have read, and understand each of these safety precautions. Review them periodically, and

ask any attendants, or other wheelchair users operating your lift to read them as well. If you have any

questions, contact your installing Ricon Dealer or call our Service Department at Ricon Corporation.

Unfasten occupant restraint belt, release wheelchair brakes, and carefully exit platform.

3. TO STOW PLATFORM:

NOTE: The occupant restraint belt must be fastened to enable STOW/DEPLOY and UP/DOWNfunctions.

The lift will not operate unless this safety mechanism is properly engaged.

•From ground level push and hold UP/DOWN switch in the UP position until the lift platform

automatically stops at floor level. Continue to push and hold switch in the UP position until the

platform folds completely inside the vehicle.

•Close vehicle doors.

NOTE: Becertain the lift has folded completely before attempting to close doors. Power door operators, on

vehicles so equipped, will not operate until lift has folded completely. To prevent damage to doors,

do not release switch until the lift is completely folded, and the lift pump motor has stopped

automatically.

4. MANUAL OPERATION:

Refer to Figures [29] and [30].In the event the lift becomes inoperable

under its own power, it can be operated manually as follows (an

instruction decal is also located on the pump cover).

•Ensure that the vehicle is on a level area away from any traffic.

Allow enough space for lift operation and passenger boarding. If a

break down situation exists and the vehicle cannot be moved so

that the lift system can be operated safely, the operator must

summon emergency assistance to move the vehicle before

operating the lift.

•Fully open vehicle door(s). Ensure that there are no obstacles in

the path of the lift.

DEPLOYING THE PLATFORM:

•Override the "Sto-Loc" feature by lifting the inboard rollstop.

•If the "Sto-Loc" is engaged and lifting the rollstop is difficult, use

the handle extension and the manual backup pump and, in an

up/down motion, fold the lift tight. This will recharge the hydraulic

system, making it easier to raise the inboard rollstop.

•Insert handle extension into hole marked RELEASE VALVE to

open the manual release valve.

•Refer to Figure [30].Turn handle extension ¼ turn counter-

clockwise and hold valve OPEN to begin deployment of the

platform. Turn the handle clockwise to CLOSE the valve when

platform reaches vehicle floor level.

•Becareful not to lower the platform past the vehicle floor level. The

outer edge of the inboard rollstop must rest squarely on the vehicle

floor.

•The attendant and lift passenger should follow the LIFT

OPERATION instructions to ENTER or EXIT the vehicle.

WHEN USING THE MANUAL BACKUP SYSTEM.

STOWING THE PLATFORM:

•From either ground level or vehicle floor level, insert the handle extension into the manual backup

system and, in an up/down pumping motion, raise the platform until the lift is completely folded

inside the vehicle.

•Stow handle extension onto the manual backup system cover.

•Close vehicle doors. Be certain lift has folded completely before attempting to close doors.
