F9A INTRODUCTION

 

he RICON MirageF9A Series Automatic Transit Use Wheelchair and Standee Lift provides wheelchair access 
to mass transit vehicles.  The patented movement ensures smooth, safe entry and exit and easily lifts up to 660 
pounds (300 kilograms).  It is designed to be operated by a trained attendant or vehicle driver.  After activating 

the vehicle manufacturer installed safety interlock and by using the lift control switches, the lift extends OUT (or de-
ploys) from the vehicle and rises to the vehicle floor height.  The user boards the large non-skid platform and the op-
erator uses the control switches to gently lower the platform to the ground.  After the user departs, the platform is 
raised and retracted IN (stowed). 

The F9A Series Lift is an underfloor, electro-hydraulic wheelchair 
lift with a powerful electric motor and electrical hydraulic pump, 
and a powered rollstop.  The lift also contains a built-in manual 
backup pump and rollstop manual control knob.  If the lift loses 
electrical power, two or more people can extend the lift and raise 
and/or lower the lift manually. 

This manual contains operation and maintenance instructions and 
a troubleshooting guide for the lift.  It is important to user safety 
that the lift operator(s) be completely familiar with the Operating 
Instructions chapter of this manual.  Once the lift is installed, it is 
very important that the lift be properly maintained by following the 
Ricon recommended cleaning, lubrication, and inspection instruc-
tions.
