II. S-SERIES PRIVATE USE LIFT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check instructions, control and indicator descriptions, and operating instructions for the RICON S-Series Private Use wheelchair lift. This chapter must be thoroughly understood by operator before using lift.
Do not load an oversize wheelchair into vehicle if it is too large to pivot freely inside vehicle. Read and understand these safety precautions. Review them periodically and ask other opera- tors to read them as well. Contact a Ricon authorized dealer or Ricon Product Support if there are questions.
C. PLATFORM MOTIONS TABLE 2-1: PLATFORM MOTIONS MOVEMENT DESCRIPTION Platform unfolds, or deploys, out of vehicle from stowed po- sition to floor level position. If equipped with a power door DEPLOY operator, the doors automatically open before lift deploys. Platform lowers from vehicle floor level position towards ground level.
D. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS WARNING THE LIFT IS ALLOWED TO OPERATE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE MANU- FACTURER INTERLOCK CIRCUITRY IS ACTIVATED. IF NECESSARY, REFER TO VEHICLE OPERATOR MANUAL FOR INTERLOCK INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE LIFT WITH INTERLOCK BYPASSED. CONTROL PENDANT Refer to Figure 2-5.
CONTROL SWITCH Refer to Figure 2-6. An alternate lift control switch is located on the left side platform armrest. The spring-loaded switch lever can be used by the passenger to control UP and DOWN motions of the platform. To move platform downward push and hold switch lever forward, and to move platform upward pull and hold lever back.
Refer to Figure 2-7. The Control System Circuit Breaker is located on the hydraulic pump as- sembly. In case of a control system short circuit, circuit breaker button will “pop-out”. If pressing and releasing button does not reset power, do not press and hold. Contact a Ricon authorized dealer for repair.
THRESHOLD SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM Refer to Figure 2-9 for the location of threshold warning system components. The lift incorpo- rates two light beams that detect when a passenger (or object, such as a wheelchair) is in the vicinity of the baseplate (threshold area). The beams are enabled when the platform is one inch, or more, below the vehicle floor.
LIFT CYCLE COUNTER Refer to Figure 2-11. The cycle counter is located inside the hydraulic pump housing and visible through a slot on the rear side. The counter advances each time the platform moves through a complete cycle, which consists of the platform moving from the vehicle floor to the ground and back to the floor.
DO NOT EXCEED RATED LOAD CAPACITY OF 600 POUNDS (273 KGS). PRIOR TO USE, INSPECT WHEELCHAIR LIFT FOR PROPER FUNCTION, REQUIRED MAINTE- NANCE, OR DAMAGE. IF A PROBLEM EXISTS, DO NOT USE LIFT AND CONTACT A RICON AU- THORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIR.
CAUTION Be certain wheelchair is clearly within perimeter of platform and does not interfere with operation of rollstop. RAISE PLATFORM - Push and hold UP button until platform rises and stops automati- cally at floor level. Release wheelchair brakes and carefully enter vehicle. Refer to “Stowing Platform”...
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.
