Inspect the lift before each use as described in the RICON Operator Manual 32DF9T15 under paragraph
l
"Pre-Operation Lift Inspection". If any unsafe condition exists, or if unusual noises or movements are
noticed, DO NOT use and contact an authorized RICON dealer for repair.
Read and comply with all warning labels and symbols affixed to the wheelchair lift.
l
Wheelchair occupant should face outward when entering or exiting vehicle.
l
Do not back onto platform when exiting vehicle. FACE OUTWARD, and verify that platform is at the same
l
height as floor. Check that front rollstop is up and locked.
The front rollstop is intended to prevent slow, unintentional, rolling off of platform.
l
The front rollstop is not intended to stop a quick moving wheelchair. A quick moving wheelchair could tip if
l
the small front wheels collide with the rollstop. Also, the large rear wheels of a quick moving wheelchair
could roll over the rollstop. Possible injury to the occupant might occur in either case.
Verify that wheelchair fits safely on platform; it must not extend beyond edges or interfere with operation
l
of rollstop.
Do not operate with a load in excess of 660 lbs (300 kg) for Mirage Model F9TF and 800 pounds (363
l
kilograms) for Mirage Model F9TH.
Keep arms, legs, and clothing away from moving lift parts.
l
The lift is intended for one wheelchair and its occupant, or one standee. Do not overload lift.
l
Keep others clear while operating lift.
l
Do not allow an untrained person to operate lift.
l
Do not allow anyone to stand on bridgeplate. A bent bridgeplate can interfere with the platform as it raises
l
and lowers.
Lock wheelchair brakes before raising or lowering platform (power chair users should turn off power and
l
set brake).
Use great care in wet conditions; the wheelchair brakes are less effective if its tires or the platform are
l
wet.
Do not leave deployed platform unattended. Return to stowed position after use.
