INTRODUCTION
Safe and easy access to mass-transit vehicles is provided by the RICON Mirage F9T Transit Use
Wheelchair and Standee Lift. Refer to Figures 1-1 and 1-2. This manual covers both Dedicated
Entry and Stepwell models. The Dedicated Entry model is intended for installation in a vehicle
baggage bay, or similar location. The Stepwell model is installed within a vehicle stepwell.
An electric-motor driven hydraulic pump assures smooth platform movement, with a maximum
capacity of 660 pounds (300 kilograms). It is operated by a trained attendant or the vehicle
operator. The operator uses control switches to withdraw the platform from the vehicle (deploy)
and lower it to ground level. The passenger boards the large non-skid platform and is then is
raised to floor height. The passenger enters the vehicle, the operator lowers the platform and
retracts it back into the vehicle (stow). When the passenger exits, the operator uses control
switches to withdraw the platform from the vehicle (deploy) and raise it to floor height. The
passenger boards the platform and is then lowered to the ground by the operator. The
passenger departs, and the operator returns the platform to the stow position.

ger safety that the lift operator be familiar
with the Operating Instructions chapter. It
is also important to properly maintain the
lift by following the recommended cleaning,
lubrication, and inspection directions in the
Maintenance chapter.

A manual release mechanism is pro-
vided to ease the task of pulling the
platform out of its enclosure by hand.
The hydraulic pump assembly includes
a manually operated back-up pump to
raise the platform, and a release valve
to lower it. The front platform rollstop,
normally power operated, has a manual
override knob for back-up use.
