OTHER FEATURES
The coach must be parked at least 10 feet (3
meters) away from other vehicles or large
objects. Control the movement of the lift platform
with the handheld control device stowed in the
wheelchair lift baggage compartment. When
operating the lift, be careful the control wire
doesn’t bind with the lift mechanism.
Using the handheld control device, deploy the lift
by pressing on the OUT switch.
Once deployed, lift the handrails until locked in
vertical position. Buckle the restraint belt.
Use the UP/DOWN switch to raise or lower the
platform. Upon reaching the top or the bottom of
its stroke, the appropriate rollstop will lower.
Note: When the lift begins to deploy or retract, a
clutch action will be heard as clicks. This is
normal.
Note: The restraint belt acts as a safety device
and it prevents raising or lowering the lift when
not buckled.
Roll the wheelchair onto the platform with the
wheelchair facing outwards because the front
rollstop is not designed to keep the large rear
wheels of a wheelchair from rolling off the
platform.
Warning: Use extreme care when rolling on or
off the platform and lock the wheelchair brakes
while stationary on the platform. Make sure the
wheelchair fits safely on the platform. Keep arms
and legs away from moving parts.
HANDHELD CONTROL DEVICE 23258
Note: The indicator light on the control device
illuminates when power is supplied (when the lift
electrical circuit is activated by the switch on the
dashboard).
To stow the platform, detach the restraint belt
and fold the left handrail, then fold the right
handrail (lift the slam lock handles to fold
handrails). Press down and hold the IN-
LOCKOUT button and the IN switch until the lift
is fully stowed.
EMERGENCY RICON LIFT OPERATION
In the event of electrical power loss, manual
operation of the lift is possible as explained
below.
To manually deploy the platform
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 wheelchair access and lift doors.
Ensure that there are no obstacles in the path of
the lift.
At the left-side of the lift, raise and hold the stow-
loc piston UP.
Warning: Do not attempt to manually deploy or
stow the lift using less than two people. Manually
deploying and/or stowing of this lift requires
forces greater than 100 lbs.
Warning: Ensure that the person or object
holding the stow-loc piston is not in the path of
the lift platform or frame during this operation.
Warning: To manually deploy the lift platform, a
large force is required to overcome the torque
clutch initial resistance. After the lift starts
moving outward, sustain a constant force until
the lift reaches the deployed position.
Remove the emergency platform handle from
inside the cover of the lift mechanism box.
Insert the handle hooks at the base of the
platform, two holes near the centre of the base
are there to receive the hooks. With TWO
PEOPLE, grasp the handle and pull firmly. Best
results are attained by starting the deployment
with a sharp tug and sustaining a constant pull
until the lift is all the way out against the carriage
stops.
