INNOVATOR INTRODUCTION
T
his manual provides basic descriptions and maintenance instructions for the Ricon Innovator Wheelchair Lift
The platform on the Innovator is raised and lowered by a single arm. The single-arm design keeps the vehicle
doorway clear, which maximizes available space inside the vehicle and allows the front passenger seat to fully
recline. The front rollstop and side barriers on the platform automatically lower when the platform contacts the
ground. The lowered side barriers allow entry onto the platform from a wide angle. The Innovator lift is operated by
either a trained attendant or the wheelchair occupant.

RICON ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Force to raise the platform is provided by a self-contained electro-
hydraulic pump, which has a minimum lifting capacity of 660
pounds (300 kilograms). The pump assembly houses a built-in
manual backup pump that is used to raise the platform if the lift
loses power.
The platform is unfolded from the vehicle (deployed) by pressing a
switch on the control pendant. A second switch is then pressed to
lower the platform to the ground. An auxiliary switch located on the
platform handrail can be used to raise or lower the platform inde-
pendently of the control pendant.
When the wheelchair lift is no longer needed, the platform is raised
and folded into the vehicle (stowed). If necessary, the platform can
be stowed in a partially folded position, allowing a wide object to be
placed inside the vehicle.
The operating instructions must be read thoroughly to promote pas-
senger and operator safety (operating instructions are in the Ricon
operator manual 32DFL01). It is important to follow the Ricon rec-
ommendations for cleaning, inspecting, and lubricating the wheel-
chair lift.
