7. VERIFY INSTALLATION
Lifts that are installed for the first time in a new application, or installations carried out by
technicians with limited experience, must be checked by a representative of Ricon Applications
Engineering. The check is based on the items listed on Ricon document 32EIVF9T (Equipment
Installation Verification checklist for F9T).
Be certain there is no interference with operation of lift by interior or exterior components.
The lift is designed to carry the weight of a wheelchair and its passenger. The vehicle structure
must be adequate to support all loads produced during lift operation, as well as forces incurred
by the motion of vehicle during transit.
CAUTION!
DO NOT OPERATE LIFT DURING LOAD TEST. THE LOAD TEST IS INTENDED TO
TEST LIFT INSTALLATION MOUNTING POINTS, NOT LIFTING CAPACITY. REMOVE
TEST WEIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER TEST.
WHEN TEST WEIGHT IS PLACED ON PLATFORM, THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION WILL
COMPRESS AND VEHICLE WILL LEAN. IF WEIGHTED PLATFORM TOUCHES
GROUND, REMOVE WEIGHT, RAISE PLATFORM, AND RETEST.
The installed lift must be test loaded to 125% of its rated 660 pound load capacity to verify
integrity of installation. Position platform 2"–6" above ground, and place
825 pounds in center of
platform. Inspect lift mounting points. REMOVE TEST WEIGHT.
Run lift through several complete cycles to verify proper operation.
E. CUSTOMER ORIENTATION
IMPORTANT
- Customer Orientation -
Ricon Sales or Service personnel must review the Warranty and the Operator
Manual with the customer to confirm that they understand the safe operation of
the lift. Instruct customer to follow operating instructions without exception.
NOTE: The installing service technician must attach the F9T series normal operating and manual
operating instructions decals to vehicle in a location clearly visible to operator. Attach parking
restriction decals to vehicle, if provided with lift.
