II. S-SERIES PERSONAL USE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check instructions, control and indicator
descriptions and operating instructions for the RICON S-Series Personal Use Wheelchair Lift.
This chapter must be thoroughly understood by operator before attempting to use lift.
A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions must be complied with at all times when operating lift:
¡ Refer to Figure 2-1. Deploying the lift when vehicle is on sloped ground is hazard-
ous. Operate lift with vehicle parked on level ground.
¡ Vehicle must be safely parked with parking brake ON
before using lift.
¡ Inspect lift before use. DO NOT use lift if an unsafe
condition exists, or unusual noises or movements are
noticed, and contact a Ricon authorized dealer for re-
pair.
¡ 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.
¡ DO NOT back onto platform when exiting vehicle.
FACE OUTWARD, if possible, and make sure that plat-
form is at the same level as floor. Check that outer
rollstop is up and locked.
¡ Do not place equipment or furniture inside vehicle that
may prevent pivoting of your wheelchair. Being able
to pivot assures that you can safely exit facing out-
ward.
¡ The outer rollstop is intended to prevent slow, or unin-
tentional, rolling off the platform. The outer rollstop is
not designed to stop a quick moving wheelchair. The
wheelchair might tip and possibly injure its occupant if
the small front wheels collide hard with the rollstop.
The large rear wheels of a quick moving wheelchair
can also roll over the rollstop. Use great care, board
platform slowly, and lock wheelchair brakes.
