The issue
On certain buses equipped with Ricon "S" or "K" series wheelchair lift platforms, the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair/mobility aid user. This scenario could cause the lift to stow even though someone is still on lift and could result in personal injuries to a user. Correction: Dealers will adjust the sensitivity level of the anti-stow pressure switch.
Description (français)
Sur certains autobus utilisant des plates formes de levage de fauteuil roulant Ricon de série S et de série K, le dispositif anti rangement pourrait ne pas détecter la présence d'un utilisateur de fauteuil roulant/d'aide à la mobilité. Si cela se produisait, la plate forme de levage pourrait se ranger même si quelque'un s'y trouvait encore et cela pourrait blesser un utilisateur. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront régler le niveau de sensibilité du pressostat anti rangement.
