I. S-SERIES PRIVATE USE LIFT INTRODUCTION
his manual provides operating and maintenance instructions for the RICON S-Series Private
Use wheelchair lift.
The lift is intended to provide wheelchair access to personal vehicles and to motor homes. The
mechanical linkages provide smooth movement to the platform, which has a rated load capacity
of 600 pounds (273 kilograms). The lift can be operated by the wheelchair occupant or by a
trained assistant.
The lift contains a powerful electro-hydraulic pump with a built-in manual backup pump. If the
lift loses electrical power, it can still be raised or lowered manually.
Control switches are used to unfold the lift out of the vehicle (deploy). The passenger boards the
large non-skid platform and the operator uses the control switches to lower the platform to the
ground. After passenger departs, the platform is raised to floor level and folded back into vehicle
(stowed). Once stowed the platform is held in place by a Stow-Lock mechanism to prevent it
from drifting outward during vehicle travel.
The lift is also available with a platform that splits and folds when the lift is stowed, which pro-
vides vehicle access through the area where the lift is installed.
This manual contains warranty information, safety precautions, and operating instructions for the
lift. It is important to user safety that lift operators be completely familiar with the Operating In-
structions chapter of this manual. Once lift is installed, it is very important that lift be properly
maintained by following the Ricon recommended cleaning, lubrication, and inspection instruc-
tions given in Chapter III, “Maintenance”.
