I. KLEARVUE PRIVATE USE WHEELCHAIR LIFT INTRODUCTION
his manual provides operating and maintenance instructions for the Ricon K-series Klear-
Vue Private Use wheelchair lift. The platform on the KlearVue splits horizontally to reduce
overall lift height when it is stowed. This results in a less obstructed view, either into or out
of the vehicle.
The lift is intended to provide wheelchair access to personal vehicles and to motor homes. The
mechanical linkages provide smooth movement to the platform, which has a rated load capacity
of 600 pounds (273 kilograms). The lift can be operated by the wheelchair occupant or by a
trained assistant.
The lift contains an electro-hydraulic pump with a built-in manual backup pump. If the lift loses
power, it can be raised or lowered manually. A control pendant is used to unfold the platform
out from the vehicle (deploy). The passenger boards the non-skid platform and an operator low-
ers the platform to the ground. After the passenger departs, the platform is raised and folded
back into the vehicle (stow). The platform splits and folds horizontally when stowed.
It is important to passenger safety that these operating instructions be read and understood by
the lift operator. It is also important that the Ricon recommendations for cleaning, inspecting,
and lubricating the wheelchair lift be followed.

II. KLEARVUE PRIVATE USE LIFT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
his chapter contains safety precautions, daily safety check instructions, control and indica-
tor descriptions, and operating instructions for the RICON KlearVue Private Use wheelchair
lift. This chapter must be thoroughly understood by operator before using lift.
A. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions must be complied with at all times when operating lift:
 Refer to Figure 2-1. Deploying lift when vehicle is on sloped ground is hazardous. Operate
lift with vehicle parked on level ground.
 Vehicle must be safely parked with parking brake ON before using lift.
 Inspect lift before use. Do not use lift if unsafe conditions are present, or unusual noises or
movements are noticed. Contact an authorized Ricon dealer for repair, if necessary.
 Read and comply with all warning labels and symbols affixed to wheelchair lift.
 Refer to Figure 2-2. Wheelchair occupant must face outward on platform when entering or
exiting vehicle to minimize the possibility of the large rear wheels rolling up and over the
front rollstop.
 When exiting vehicle, verify that platform is at same height as floor and front rollstop is up
and locked.
 Do not place equipment or furniture inside vehicle that may prevent pivoting of your wheel-
chair. Being able to pivot assures that you can safely exit facing outward.
 Be certain wheelchair fits safely on platform; it must not extend beyond edges or interfere
with operation of rollstop.
T
FIGURE 2-1: SLOPED PARKING HAZARD
FIGURE 2-2: DON’T EXIT FACING BACKWARDS

32DSSK03.B
2 - 2
 The raised front rollstop prevents slow and unintentional rolling off of the platform. It is not
intended to stop a fast-moving wheelchair, which might tip forward if the small front wheels
collide with the rollstop.
 Do not operate with a load in excess of 600 lbs (273 kgs).
 Keep arms, legs, and clothing away from moving lift parts.
 The lift is intended for one wheelchair and its occupant. It is not designed to transport
standing passengers. Do not overload lift.
 Refer to Figure 2-3. Do not stand in front of lift while deploying platform.
 Keep others clear while operating lift.
 Do not allow an untrained person to operate lift.
 Careful supervision is necessary if used near children.
 Do not allow anyone to stand on bridgeplate. A bent bridgeplate can interfere with the plat-
form as it raises and lowers.
 Lock wheelchair brakes before moving platform (power chair users should turn off power
and set brake).
 Use great care in wet conditions, because the wheelchair brakes are less effective if wheels
or platform are wet.
 Never leave platform outside of vehicle. Return platform to stowed position after use.
 Do not place an oversize wheelchair on platform if it is too large for the vehicle. The wheel-
chair must be able to pivot freely inside vehicle.
Read and understand these safety precautions. Review them periodically and ask other opera-
tors to read them as well. Contact an authorized Ricon dealer or call Ricon Product Support if
there are questions.
B. DAILY SAFETY CHECK
Inspect lift before use and meet the following conditions:
 All functions operate properly. Do not use lift if unusual noises or movements exist, and
contact an authorized Ricon service technician for repair.
 Vehicle interlock is operating properly.
 Objects that may interfere with operation are not present.
 General appearance and lubrication are satisfactory and fasteners are tight.

D. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
WARNING
THE LIFT CAN OPERATE ONLY WHEN PERMITTED TO BY THE VEHICLE INTERLOCK
CIRCUITRY. IF NECESSARY, REFER TO VEHICLE OPERATOR MANUAL FOR
INTERLOCK INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE LIFT WITH INTERLOCK BYPASSED.
 CONTROL PENDANT
Refer to Figure 2-5. The lift is operated with two rocker switches on a hard-wired, hand-held
remote control pendant. Control platform movement by pushing and holding one end of a
rocker switch. The ends of the switches are referred to in this manual as buttons.
Pushing the DEPLOY button causes the platform to unfold at floor level. Pushing the DOWN
button causes the platform to descend towards the ground. Pushing the UP button causes
the platform to rise towards floor level. Pushing the STOW button when the platform is at floor
level causes it to fold and retract into the vehicle.
Platform motion can be halted at any time by releasing the button. The pendant is usually
stored on a wall clip in an interior location that is near the lift.
 CONTROL SWITCH
Refer to Figure 2-6 on the following page. An alternate lift control switch is located on the left
side platform armrest. The spring-loaded switch lever can be used by the passenger to control
UP and DOWN motions of the platform. To move platform downward push and hold switch lever
forward, and to move platform upward pull and hold lever back. Release lever at any time to halt

 CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
 Interlock Indicator Light
Refer to Figure 2-7. The vehicle interlock system prevents operation of lift if an unsafe condi-
tion is present. When a vehicle interlock system is interfaced with the lift circuitry, the inter-
lock indicator shows whether or not the interlock is operating properly. The light is interfaced
with the electrical system so that regardless of which interlock system is used, the light will be
on when the interlock provides power to lift and off when interlock has removed power to lift.
When there is no interlock system installed, the light stays illuminated at all times.

 MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
Refer to Figure 2-8. The main circuit breaker is located in the vehicle engine compartment
and is used to interrupt electrical power to the lift electrical system when a major short circuit
occurs. In such an event, the circuit breaker reset tab will “flip-down”. If pressing reset tab
back up (as shown by arrow) and releasing it does not reset power, do not press and hold
tab. Contact a Ricon authorized dealer for repair.
 Optional Door Operator Circuit Breaker
Refer to Figure 2-7. The circuit breaker for optional door operator is located on the hydraulic
pump assembly. In the event of a short circuit in the door operator, the circuit breaker button
will “pop-out”. If pressing and releasing button does not reset power, do not press and hold.
Contact a Ricon authorized dealer for repair. Refer to appropriate Power Door Operator ser-
vice manual for a detailed description.
 Control System Circuit Breaker
Refer to Figure 2-7. The Control System Circuit Breaker is located on the hydraulic pump as-
sembly. In the event of a short circuit in the control system, the circuit breaker button will
“pop-out”. If pressing and releasing button does not reset power, do not press and hold.
Contact a Ricon authorized dealer for repair.
 Pump Solenoid LED Status Indicator
Refer to Figure 2-7. A second pump solenoid is installed next to the original pump solenoid
and a green LED is located between the 8A and 30A circuit breakers. The LED monitors the
condition of the two solenoids. The LED is on when the pump is operating, and off when the
pump is off. For more information on this LED refer to the service manual 32DSSK04.
 BRIDGEPLATE LOAD SENSOR
Refer to Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 in Chapter 1 for the location of the switch that detects the
presence of a load on the bridgeplate. When the sensor switch detects that an object is present
on the bridgeplate it inhibits lowering of the platform. This protects the passenger from possible
injury when the bridgeplate rises. It also protects the bridgeplate from damage, which could later
interfere with proper operation of the lift.

FIGURE 2-8: MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

32DSSK03.B 2 - 7
 THRESHOLD WARNING SYSTEM
Refer to Figure 2-9 for the location of the sensor portion of the threshold warning system. The
lift incorporates two light beams that detect when a passenger (or object, such as a wheelchair)
is in the vicinity of the baseplate or bridgeplate (threshold area). The beams are enabled when
the platform is one inch, or more, below the vehicle floor. If someone passes through either of
the beams when the platform is one inch below the floor an audible buzzer is actuated. This sys-
tem provides a margin of safety for lift users by warning them if the platform is below floor level.
The platform must be at floor level when boarding the platform prior to exiting the vehicle.
 MANUAL BACK-UP PUMP
Refer to Figure 2-9. The manual backup pump is used to operate the lift if electrical power is not
functioning. Controls for the pump consist of a pump handle to raise platform and a pump pres-
sure release valve to lower it. Instructions for operating manual pump are provided in the
MANUAL OPERATION SECTION later in this chapter.
