F. MANUAL OPERATION
The lift can be operated manually if the lift is not functioning or the primary electrical power
source is absent. Ricon recommends that manual operation be used only for exiting passen-
gers from vehicle.
Preparation:
Be certain vehicle is on a level area and away from traffic. Allow space for platform
movement plus space to exit from platform.
The vehicle operator must summon assistance to move vehicle to a safe area if a break
down situation exists where vehicle cannot be moved under its own power.
Open doors manually if vehicle is not equipped with a power door operator. If equipped
with a power door operator, refer to its operator manual for manual operation directions.
WARNING
FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS AT BEGINNING OF “LIFT OPERATION” SEC-
TION WHEN USING MANUAL BACKUP SYSTEM TO EXIT VEHICLE.
NOTE: The threshold warning system is not active during manual operation and cannot be
used to indicate platform height.
1. DEPLOY PLATFORM
a. Refer to Figure 2-12. Override the Stow-Lock feature by lifting bridgeplate by hand.
This will separate the Stow-Lock catch (fastened to underside of bridgeplate) from
Stow-Lock latch (fastened to baseplate). If Stow-Lock is difficult to separate, use
manual backup pump to raise platform slightly and remove tension from catch; refer
to “Stow Platform” paragraph in this section.
b. Refer to Figure 2-13 on following page. Insert notched end of pump handle into cir-
cular hole on hydraulic pump cover and engage pump release valve.
