II. KLEARVUE PRIVATE USE LIFT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check instructions, control and indica-
tor descriptions, and operating instructions for the RICON KlearVue Private Use wheelchair
lift. This chapter must be thoroughly understood by 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.
Vehicle must be safely parked with parking brake ON before using lift.
Inspect lift before use. Do not use lift if unsafe conditions are present, or unusual noises or
movements are noticed. Contact an authorized Ricon dealer for repair, if necessary.
Read and comply with all warning labels and symbols affixed to wheelchair lift.
Refer to
Figure 2-2
. Wheelchair occupant must 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.
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.
