his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check instructions, control and indicator
descriptions and operating instructions for the RICON S-Series (ADA) Transit Use Wheelchair

A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions must be complied with when operating lift:
§ Refer to Figure 2-1. Deploying lift when vehicle is on sloped ground is danger-
ous. Always operate lift with vehicle parked on level ground.
§ Vehicle must be safely parked with the emergency
brake ON before using lift.
§ Inspect lift prior to each use. DO NOT use if any un-
safe condition exists or unusual noises or movements
are noticed, and contact a Ricon authorized service
technician for repair.
§ Read and comply with all warning labels and symbols
affixed to wheelchair lift.
§ Refer to Figure 2-2. Wheelchair occupant should
FACE OUTWARD when entering or exiting vehicle.
§ Standees should use lift facing the direction of travel;
toward vehicle when entering or away from vehicle
when exiting.
§ Do not rely on an audible threshold warning device to
provide assurance that it is safe to exit the vehicle fac-
ing backwards. This device may be inoperative or un-
heard, and you might exit backwards when the plat-
form is on the ground! Exit facing outward, and be
certain the platform is at floor level.
§ Do not back onto platform when exiting vehicle. Face
OUTWARD, if possible, and make sure that platform
is at a safe vehicle floor-level position, and outer roll-
stop is up and locked.
