A few days ago I had posted about a problem on our new 15' IC bus wheelchair lift. Well, I'm back again...lol
This time the lift will not stow itself back into the bus. It will stow if you hold up on the end of the ramp and lift it up about two inches, but without the extra "boost" it will just sit there.
It tries to store itself, but the pump makes a squeeling sound for about 2-3 seconds and then stops.
It seems like it needs some sore of an adjustment somewhere, but we can't figure out where. The fluid in the resevoir is about a 1/2 an inch below the "Fill line" on the tank (when the lift is down on the ground), would this have any effect on this?
It sounds as if one of the micro switches need adjusted or the pressure regulator needs adjusted. I don't have a link to the procedures but you may try a google search or call Ricon.
I'm not sure what lift you have, but I'm guessing it's a S-Series DOT Public Use (since that's what all of ours are.) Here's a link to the service/parts manual with adjustment info on page 22: http://www.riconcorp.com/pdfs/32dsst04/32dsst04D.4.pdf
"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
the pressure switch needs adjusted clockwise to increase pressure, have any of you had this issue before and the pressure switch adjusment didn't fix the problem and after replacing the switch still have the same issue?
