2-2
¡ Be certain wheelchair fits safely on platform; it must not extend beyond edges or in-
terfere with operation of rollstop.
¡ Do not operate with a load in excess of 800 lbs (364 kg).
¡ Keep arms, legs, and clothing away from moving lift parts.
¡ The lift is intended 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 operate
lift.
¡ Careful supervision is necessary if used by or
near children.
¡ Do not allow anyone to stand on bridgeplate.
A bent bridgeplate can interfere with the plat-
form as it raises and lowers.
¡ LOCK WHEELCHAIR BRAKES before moving
platform (power chair users should turn off
power and set brake).
¡ Use great care in wet conditions, because the
wheelchair brakes are less effective if wheels
or platform are wet.
¡ Never leave platform outside of vehicle. Return lift to stowed position after use.
¡ Do not place a wheelchair on lift if it is too large for the vehicle. The wheelchair
must be able to pivot freely inside vehicle to comply with lift instructions for enter-
ing and exiting vehicle.
¡ Do not rely on an audible threshold warning device to provide assurance that it is
safe to exit the vehicle facing backwards. This device may be inoperative or un-
heard, and you might exit backwards when the platform is on the ground! Exit fac-
ing outward, and be certain the platform is at floor level.
Read and understand these safety precautions. Review them periodically and ask any atten-
dants or other operators to read them as well. Contact a Ricon authorized dealer or Ricon
Product Support if there are questions.
B. DAILY SAFETY CHECK
Inspect lift before each use and verify the following conditions are met before operating:
¡ All functions operate properly. DO NOT use if unusual noises or movements exist,
and contact an authorized Ricon service technician 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
