F10X-SERIES SERVICE MANUAL
I. INTRODUCTION
The RICON Mirage

F10X-Series
™
DOT Public Use Wheelchair and Standee lift provides safe and easy access
to motor coaches for individuals using wheelchairs or scooters. The F10X-Series is installed in a motor coach
baggage bay, or similar sheltered location. The lift is operated by the vehicle operator or a trained attendant.
An electric-motor driven hydraulic pump, driving dual hydraulic cylinders, provides smooth platform movement. Maxi-
mum lift capacity is 660 lbs. (300kgs). The operator uses the control pendant to withdraw the platform from the vehicle
and lower it to the ground. A boarding passenger gets on the large non-skid platform, and is then raised to floor height.
After the passenger enters the vehicle, the operator lowers the platform and retracts it back into the vehicle. When a
passenger exits, the operator uses the control pendant to withdraw the platform from the vehicle and raise it to floor
height. The passenger boards the platform, and is then lowered to the ground by the operator. The passenger departs,
and the operator stows the platform.
One individual can manually operate the lift when
normal power is not present. A manual release
mechanism is provided to ease the task of pulling
the platform out of its enclosure. The hydraulic
pump assembly includes a manually operated
back-up pump to raise the platform, and a release
valve to lower it. The front platform rollstop, nor-
mally power operated, has a manual override knob
for back-up use.
This manual contains instructions for installation,
maintenance, and service of major components,
plus a chapter listing available spare parts. It is
important for safety reasons that the service per-
sonnel be familiar with the Operating Instructions
chapter in the Operator Manual.
This Service Manual provides information for installations that are either right-handed or left-handed. As a result, some
manual illustrations may appear reversed when compared to your installation.
