    Why are my Wabtec Ricon S not functioning?

      If your Wabtec Lifting Systems aren't functioning, several factors could be at play. First, check if there's an obstruction in the lifting frame and remove it, inspecting for damage. Ensure the backup pump manual release valve is turned clockwise until slightly snug. Also, verify the hydraulic fluid level is at the FULL mark while the platform is at ground level, adding Texaco 01554 Aircraft Hydraulic Oil or equivalent if needed. Finally, air trapped in the hydraulic system can cause issues; purge it by operating the lift through its maximum range for at least four complete cycles, using a service hoist or ramp if full travel isn't possible during normal use.

      If your Wabtec Lifting Systems aren't operating, start by checking the control system circuit breaker and reset it if tripped. Ensure the backup pump manual release valve is turned clockwise until slightly snug. Verify the hydraulic fluid level is at the FULL mark while the platform is at ground level, adding Texaco 01554 Aircraft Hydraulic Oil or equivalent if needed. Air can also be trapped in the hydraulic system; purge it by operating the lift through its maximum range for at least four complete cycles, using a service hoist or ramp if full travel isn't possible during normal use. If there is a hydraulic hose or fitting leak, contact a Ricon dealer for repair.

      David WalterAug 21, 2025
      If you notice hydraulic fluid leaks in your Wabtec Lifting Systems, first ensure that all hydraulic fittings are properly tightened. If the leak persists, discontinue use of the lift, as a hydraulic component may be defective. In this case, have repairs made by a Ricon dealer or a qualified service technician.

      Daniel MedinaAug 25, 2025
      If the rollstop on your Wabtec Lifting Systems doesn't open, it's likely due to an obstruction of the rollstop release latch. To resolve this, raise the lift and remove any obstruction that you find.

      If your Wabtec Lifting Systems lift isn't operating, first reset the control system circuit breaker. Then, ensure the backup pump manual release valve is turned clockwise until it's slightly snug. Check the hydraulic fluid level and, if low, replenish it with Texaco 01554 Aircraft Hydraulic Oil or equivalent U.S. mil spec H5606G fluid while the platform is at ground level. Finally, purge the hydraulic system by running the lift through its full range of motion for at least four complete cycles. If a hydraulic hose or fitting is leaking, contact an authorized Ricon dealer for repair.

      If your Wabtec Lifting Systems lift functions abnormally, begin by checking for and removing any obstructions in the lifting frame. Then, ensure the backup pump manual release valve is turned clockwise until slightly snug. Check the hydraulic fluid level, adding Texaco 01554 Aircraft Hydraulic Oil or equivalent U.S. mil spec H5606G fluid if low, while the platform is at ground level. Lastly, purge the hydraulic system by operating the lift through its maximum range of travel for at least four complete cycles. For vehicles that do not use full travel of lift, the maximum range of travel is accomplished by raising vehicle on a service hoist or ramp.

      If your Wabtec Lifting Systems lift is operating abnormally, first check for any obstructions in the lifting frame and remove them, inspecting for damage. Ensure the backup pump manual release valve is turned clockwise until slightly snug. Also, check that the hydraulic fluid level is at the required FULL level while the platform is at ground level, adding Texaco 01554 Aircraft Hydraulic Oil or equivalent U.S. mil spec H5606G fluid if needed. Finally, purge the hydraulic system by operating the lift through its maximum range of travel for at least four complete cycles. If the vehicle doesn't use the full travel of the lift, raise the vehicle on a service hoist or ramp to accomplish the maximum range of travel.
