S/K-SERIES EXPORT USE SERVICE MANUAL
I. INTRODUCTION
he Ricon S-Series™ and K-Series™ Export Use Wheelchair and Standee lifts provide wheelchair access to per-
sonal use vehicles. The patented movement on both models provides smooth, safe entry and exit and easily lifts
up to 363 kilograms (800 pounds). The platforms on both S- and K-Series Export Use Wheelchair lifts have a
rated load capacity of 363 kilograms (800 pounds).
The S-Series Export Wheelchair lift has two platforms options. One platform option splits and folds into the vehicle
when stowed and the other platform option is a solid, one-piece platform that is raised and folded into the vehicle when
stowed. The K-Series platform splits horizontally to reduce overall lift height when stowed. This results in a less ob-
structed view, either into or out of the vehicle. The mechanical linkages provide smooth movement to both non-skid
platforms where the wheelchair and occupant are situated during the “Up” and “Down” lift motions.
S- and K-Series Export Use Wheelchair lifts contain an electro-hydraulic pump with a built-in manual back-up pump and
an emergency release
.
If the lift loses power, it can be raised or lowered manually.
Trained personnel operate the lift by using a control pendant. The control pendant is used to unfold the platform out
from the vehicle (deploy)
.
The passenger boards the non-skid platform and an operator lowers the platform to the
ground
.
After the passenger departs, the platform is stowed back into the vehicle.
This manual contains warranty information, safety precautions, optional configurations, operating and maintenance in-
structions that apply to both Ricon S- and K-Series Export Use wheelchair lifts. It is important to user safety that the lift
operator be completely familiar with the operating instructions. Once the lift is installed, it is very important that the lift
be properly maintained by following the Ricon recommended maintenance and inspection instructions provided in
Chapter III.
