his chapter contains supplemental information for side installation of the Ricon Slide-Away DOT-Private Use
wheelchair lift into full size Ford vans and electrical installation instructions. Custom installations are also pos-
sible in other types of vehicles. Due to the wide range of lift applications, specific information for every possible
application is not available. Contact the Ricon Product Support department for instruction about installations not cov-
ered. Before installing lift, refer to following sections and perform procedures carefully and in the order that they are
presented. Be certain that installation instructions are followed exactly and do not eliminate any steps or modify prod-
uct.

The following are supplemental instructions to the installation instructions supplied with the lift. Where these
