and locked.
Do not place large equipment or furniture inside vehicle that can prevent pivoting of your
wheelchair. Being able to pivot assures that you can safely exit facing outward.
The raised front rollstop prevents slow and unintentional rolling off of the platform. It is not
intended to stop a fast-moving wheelchair, which might tip forward if the small front wheels
collide with the rollstop.
Be certain wheelchair fits safely on platform; it must not extend beyond edges or interfere
with operation of front rollstop.
Do not operate with a load in excess of 600 lbs (273 kgs).
Keep arms, legs, and clothing away from moving lift parts.
The lift is intended for one wheelchair and its occupant. It is not designed to transport
standing passengers. Do not overload lift.
Refer to
Figure 2-3
. Do not stand in front of lift while deploying platform.
Keep others clear while operating lift.
Do not allow an untrained person to operate lift.
Careful supervision is necessary if used by or near children.
Do not allow anyone to stand on bridgeplate. A bent bridgeplate can interfere with the
platform as it rises and lowers.
Lock wheelchair brakes when on platform (power chair users must turn off power and set
brake).
Use great care in wet conditions, because the wheelchair brakes are less effective if
wheels or platform are wet.
Never leave platform outside of vehicle. Return platform to stowed position after use.
Do not load an oversize wheelchair into vehicle if it is too large to pivot freely inside vehi-
cle.
Read and understand these safety precautions. Review them periodically and ask other opera-
tors to read them as well. Contact a Ricon dealer or Ricon Product Support if there are ques-
tions.
