III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
T
his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check, lift functions, control and indicator
descriptions, and operating instructions for the RICON Eclipse® F8000 (A) Series Export Use
Wheelchair and Standee Lift. This chapter must be read and thoroughly understood by the operator
before attempting to use the lift.
A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions must be complied with at all times when operating the lift:
C Refer to Figure [3-1]. A dangerous situation exists when using the lift if the vehicle is parked on
a slope. Always operate the lift with the vehicle parked on level ground.
FIGURE [3-1]: UNSAFE VEHICLE SLOPING
C Vehicle must be safely parked with the emergency brake ON before using the lift.
C Inspect the lift prior to each use. If any unsafe condition exists or unusual noises or movements
are noticed, DO NOT use and contact an authorized Ricon Dealer for repair.
C Read and comply with all warning labels and symbols affixed to the wheelchair lift.
C When using the lift, the occupant should always FACE OUTWARD.
C The platform rollstop is designed to prevent slow inadvertent rolling off the platform. The large
rear wheels of a wheelchair can roll over the platform rollstop, so we insist that you always face
outward. Hitting the platform rollstop with the small front wheels can tip the wheelchair and
possibly injure the wheelchair occupant. Do not expect the rollstop to stop a quick moving
wheelchair as it is not designed for that purpose. Use extreme care, board the platform slowly
and then lock the wheelchair brakes.
C Be certain wheelchair fits safely on the platform and does not extend over the edges of the
platform or interfere with operation of the rollstop.
C When exiting vehicle NEVER back onto the platform. Always face outward and make sure that
the platform is at a safe vehicle floor-level position and the outer rollstop is in an up and locked
position.
