§ The platform rollstop is designed to prevent slow inadvertent rolling off platform.
The large rear wheels of a wheelchair can roll over platform rollstop, so you
should FACE OUTWARD. Hitting platform rollstop with small front wheels can tip
wheelchair and possible injure wheelchair occupant. Do not expect rollstop to
stop a quick moving wheelchair, as it is not designed for that purpose. Use ex-
treme care, board platform slowly, and then lock wheelchair brakes.
§ Be certain wheelchair fits safely on platform and does not extend over edges of
platform or interfere with operation of rollstop.
§ Do not operate with a load in excess of 800 lbs. (364 kg).
§ Do not place arms, legs, or clothing in or near moving parts.
§ The lift is designed for ONE wheelchair and its occupant. Do not overload lift.
§ Refer to Figure 2-3. Keep others clear
while operating lift.
§ Do not allow an untrained person to oper-
ate.
§ Careful supervision is necessary if used by
or near children.
§ Do not allow anyone to stand on bridge-
plate. Bending this bridgeplate can cause
dangerous interference with platform as its
raises or lowers.
§ Always LOCK WHEELCHAIR BRAKES
(power chair users should turn off power
and set brake) before lift is operated.
§ Use extreme care in wet conditions. Wheelchair brakes are less effective if plat-
form or wheelchair wheels are wet.
§ Never leave platform outside of vehicle. Always return lift to stowed position after
use.
§ Do not place equipment or furniture inside vehicle that prevents you from rotating
your wheelchair to properly and safely exit vehicle facing outward.
§ Do not use a wheelchair on this wheelchair lift that is too large for the vehicle.
The wheelchair should be able to rotate freely inside vehicle such that wheelchair
lift instructions for entering and exiting vehicle can be properly followed.
Be sure that these safety precautions have been read and understood. Review them pe-
riodically, and ask any attendants or other operators to read them as well. If there are
any questions, contact Ricon Product Support.

ing:
§ All functions operate properly. DO NOT use if unusual noises or movements exist,
and contact a Ricon authorized service technician or Ricon Product Support for
repair.
§ Vehicle interlock is operating properly.
§ No objects that may interfere with operation are present.
§ General appearance and lubrication are satisfactory and all fasteners are tight.
