I. INTRODUCTION
he RICON Titanium™S-Series®and K-Series® Public Use wheelchair lift provides wheelchair access to vans and
buses. The patented movement provides smooth, safe entry and exit and lifts up to 1,000 pounds (454kg). It is
to be operated by a trained attendant. The lift contains a powerful electro-hydraulic pump that includes a built-in
manual backup pump. If the lift loses electrical power, it can be raised or lowered manually.
By using the lift control switches, the lift is unfolded out from the vehicle (deployed). The user boards the large non-skid
platform and the operator uses the control switches to gently lower the platform to the ground. After the user departs,
the platform is raised and folded into the vehicle (stowed). The lift is also available with a platform that splits and folds
when stowed, providing easy vehicle access through the lift.
This manual contains installation instructions; maintenance and repair instructions; troubleshooting guide; parts and di-
agram lists. It is important to user safety that the lift operator be completely familiar with the operating instructions.
Once the lift is installed, it is very important that the lift be properly maintained by following the Ricon recommended
cleaning, lubrication, and inspection instructions.
