S-SERIES PRIVATE USE SERVICE MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
he RICON Slide-Away® DOT-Private Use wheelchair lift provides wheelchair access to vans. The platform is
capable of lifting up to 600 pounds. The platform is raised with an electro-hydraulic pump and relies on gravity
for lowering. The pump has a built-in manual backup pump that allows the platform to be raised or lowered
manually. The platform unfolds vertically (along its centerline) while the tower simultaneously slides to the right.
Stowing the lift into the vehicle involves the reverse movement. This provides vehicle access through the area where
the lift is installed and allows space for the front passenger seat to be adjusted further rearward.
The lift control switches are used to unfold the platform from the vehicle (deploy). The exiting passenger then boards
the large non-skid platform and the operator lowers the platform to the ground. After the passenger departs, the
platform is raised and folded into the vehicle (stow). The platform folds vertically and the tower slides to the left after
rising above floor level.
This manual contains an introduction, installation guide, maintenance and repair instructions, and spare parts.
Service of the lift is safer if lift operators are completely familiar with the Operating Instructions chapter of the operator
manual (32DSW01). Once the lift is installed, it is important that the lift be properly maintained by following the Ricon
recommended cleaning, lubrication, and inspection instructions.
