INSTALLATION
D. VERIFY INSTALLATION
!
Be certain that no vehicle components interfere with operation of lift.
!
The lift is designed to carry the weight of a wheelchair and its passenger. The vehicle structure must be capable of
supporting all loads produced during lift operation as well as those forces caused by motion of vehicle when it is
driven.
CAUTION
•
Do not operate lift when test weight is on platform. This load test is designed to test the lift
mounting method
, not the lift capacity. Remove test weight immediately after check.
•
Vehicle suspension will compress and vehicle will lean when test weight is placed on platform. If
weighted platform contacts ground, remove weight, raise platform, and retest.
!
Ricon recommends that the lift be test loaded at its rated 800 pound load capacity to verify integrity of installation.
Position lift platform 2" - 6" above the ground, place 800 pounds in center of platform, and inspect lift mounting
brackets and hardware. REMOVE TEST WEIGHT.
!
Run lift through several complete cycles while checking for proper operation.
!
Refer to
Figure 2-22

NOTE:
The installing dealer affixes the Operating Instructions decal to vehicle in a location clearly visible to the lift op-
erator.
E. CUSTOMER ORIENTATION
IMPORTANT
- Customer Orientation -
Ricon Sales or Service personnel must review the warranty card and Operator manual
with the customer to be certain they understand how to safely operate the lift. The
customer should be instructed to follow the operating instructions without exception
.
