I. INTRODUCTION he Ricon S-Series™ and K-Series™ Export Use Wheelchair and Standee lifts provide wheel-chair access for road vehicles. The patented movement provides a smooth, safe entry and exit and easily lifts up to 364 kilograms (800 pounds). The platforms on both S- and K-

Series™ Export Use Wheelchair lifts have a rated load capacity of 364 kilograms (800 pounds).

S-Series™ K-Series™

The S-Series™ Export Wheelchair lift has two platforms options. One platform option splits and folds into the vehicle when stowed and the other platform option is a solid, one-piece platform that is raised and folded into the vehicle when stowed. The K-Series™ platform splits horizontally to reduce overall lift height when stowed. This results in a less obstructed view, either into or out of the vehicle. The mechanical linkages provide smooth movement to both non-skid platforms where the wheelchair and occupant are situated during the “Up” and “Down” lift motions. S- and K-Series™ Export Use Wheelchair lifts contain an electro-hydraulic pump with a built-in manual back-up pump and an emergency release (optional). If the lift loses power, it can be raised or lowered manually. Trained personnel or personal users, operate the lift by using a control pendant. The control pen-dant is used to unfold the platform out from the vehicle (deploy). The passenger boards the non-skid platform and an operator or personal user lowers the platform to the ground. After the pas-senger departs, the platform may be stowed back into the vehicle. This manual contains warranty information, safety precautions, optional configurations, operating and maintenance instructions that apply to both Ricon S- and K-Series Export Use wheelchair lifts. It is important to user safety that the lift operator be completely familiar with the operating instruc-tions. Once the lift is installed, it is very important that the lift be properly maintained by following the Ricon recommended maintenance and inspection instructions provided in Chapter III. A.

II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check instructions, control and indicator descriptions, and operating instructions that apply to RICON S-Series™ and K-Series™ Export Use wheelchair lifts. This chapter must be thoroughly understood by the operator before using

lift.

A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The following safety precautions must be complied with at all times when operating lift:

Refer to Figure 2-1. Deploying lift when vehicle is on sloped ground is hazardous. Operate lift with vehicle parked on level ground.

CAUTION Deploy wheelchair lift platform onto a flat and level ground. Alarm may sound if wheelchair lift is deployed on to gravel, loose sand or uneven ground.

RSM0015600 FIGURE 2-1: SLOPED PARKING HAZARD

Vehicle must be safely parked with parking brake ON before using lift. Inspect lift before use. Do not use lift if any unsafe condition exists, or unusual noises or

movements are noticed, and contact an authorized Ricon dealer or qualified service techni-cian for repair.

Read and comply with all warning labels and symbols affixed to wheelchair lift. Refer to Figure 2-2. Wheelchair occupant should preferably face outward on platform when

entering or exiting vehicle to minimize the possibility of the large rear wheels rolling up and over the front rollstop.

T

32DSKE01.C 2 - 2

RSM0015700 FIGURE 2-2: NEVER ENTER OR EXIT VEHICLE WHILE FACING BACKWARDS ON THE LIFT

It is never safe for a wheelchair occupant to exit a vehicle backwards. It is not safe to rely on a threshold-warning device (optional), audible or other, to confirm that it is safe for a passen-ger to exit backwards. This device may be inoperative or unheard, and they might exit backwards when the platform is on the ground!

When exiting vehicle, verify that platform is at same height as floor and front rollstop is up and locked.

Do not place equipment or furniture inside vehicle that may prevent pivoting of your wheel-chair. Being able to pivot assures that you can safely exit facing outward.

Be certain wheelchair fits safely on platform; it must not extend beyond edges or interfere with operation of rollstop.

The raised front rollstop prevents slow and unintentional rolling off of the platform. It is not intended to stop a fast-moving wheelchair, which might tip forward if the small front wheels collide with the rollstop.

Do not operate with a load in excess of 364 kgs (800 lbs). Keep arms, legs, and clothing away from moving lift parts. The lift is intended for one wheelchair and its occupant (and additionally one assistant de-

pendant upon lift type) or one standee only. Do not overload lift. Refer to Figure 2-3. Do not stand in front of lift while deploying platform.

RSM0015800 FIGURE 2-3: STAND CLEAR OF LIFT

Keep others clear while operating lift. Do not allow an untrained person to operate lift.

Careful supervision is necessary if used near children.

32DSKE01.C 2 - 3

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 platform to stowed position after use. Do not load an oversize wheelchair into vehicle if it is too large to pivot freely inside vehicle. Deploying wheelchair lift onto gravel or loose sand is not recommended. Leaving the wheelchair lift deployed out of vehicle in inclement weather may cause the outer

barrier (rollstop) to jam or not work properly. Wheelchair lift is intended for operation on flat level.

Read and understand these safety precautions. Review them periodically and ask other operators to read them as well. Contact an authorized Ricon dealer or qualified service technician or call Ricon Product Support if there are questions. In addition to these recommendations, it may be necessary for additional safety measures to be em-ployed to ensure adequate reduction of risks. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that any suitable risk assessments are conducted.

B. DAILY SAFETY CHECK Inspect lift before use and meet the following conditions:

All functions operate properly. Do not use lift if unusual noises or movements exist, and con-tact an authorized Ricon dealer or qualified service technician for repair.

Vehicle interlock is operating properly. Objects that may interfere with operation are not present. General appearance and lubrication are satisfactory and fasteners are tight.

32DSKE01.C 2 - 4

C. PLATFORM MOTIONS

D. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

WARNING THE LIFT CAN OPERATE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER 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. The lift is operated with four push-button switches and an ON-OFF switch lo-cated on the hand-held, hard-wired remote-control pendant. Turn on the POWER switch and then press an appropriate push-button switch to control each lift motion. The POWER switch enables the pendant by providing power to it and must be turned on before the lift can be operated. When turned on, the power switch will illuminate. Pressing the DEPLOY push-button switch unfolds the platform from the vehicle, and pressing the STOW push-button switch folds the platform back into the vehicle. Pressing the DOWN push-button switch lowers the platform towards the ground, and pressing the UP push-button switch raises the platform towards the floor. A push-button switch must be held depressed until the motion is completed. Movement of the plat-form can be halted at any time by releasing the push-button switch. The pendant is typically stowed on a wall-mounted clip inside the vehicle, near the lift.

Fuse Assembly Refer to Figure 2-7. The main Fuse assembly is located in the vehicle engine compart-ment (or as specified by the installer) and is used to interrupt electrical power to the lift electrical system when a major short circuit occurs. In such event, the fuse will rupture and permanently isolate the electrical supply to the lift. Any fault should be identified and rectified prior to replacement of new fuse. Contact a Ricon authorized dealer or qualified service technician for repair.

FIGURE 2-7: MAIN FUSE ASSEMBLY

32DSKE01.C 2 - 7

Handrail Lights (Optional) Circuit Breaker Refer to Figure 2-6. The circuit breaker for the handrail lights (optional) is located on the hydraulic pump assembly. In the event of a short circuit in the handrail lights (optional), the 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 or qualified service technician for repair.

Control System Circuit Breaker Refer to Figure 2-6. The Control System Circuit Breaker is located on the hydraulic pump assembly. In the event of a short circuit in the control system, the 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 or qualified service technician for re-pair.

SAFETY ALARM WARNING SYSTEM (79dB) Refer to Figure 2-8. The wheelchair lift incorporates an optional audible safety alarm warning sys-tem which is activated when one of the ski actuators is not operating correctly or if the ski is sepa-rated from the actuator. Each actuator employs a microswitch that is attached to each rollstop ski and sends a signal to the audible alarm if the rollstop ski and actuator are not operating properly. If rollstop ski and actuator are in good working order, alarm will not beep and lift will stow or deploy properly. If rollstop ski and actuator are separated, alarm will beep and may prevent platform from deploying or raising which indicates that one or both rollstop ski switches requires adjustment or maintenance. Rollstop ski or actuator will require maintenance if a microswitch fails or if rollstop ski or actuators are not operating correctly, which may cause continuous beeping. Contact a Ricon au-thorized dealer or qualified service technician for repair.

NOTE: Uneven ground may cause continuous beeping of audible safety alarm warning system and is utilized to indicate caution to passenger and attendant before proceeding to board or exit wheelchair lift platform. The maximum A-weighted sound pressure levels located at a distance of one meter from the power unit (typical operating position) will be less than 79dB(A).
