Plain-English summary
DDT Mobility Inc. is recalling one portable classroom trailer equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The recall addresses a potential issue with the optional armored pendant cable used with the lift.
The armored cable may be positioned in a way that it does not clear the wheelchair lift. If the cable contacts the power lug and lacks a proper nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur, which could result in a fire.
DDT has contacted the customer and is providing the owner with a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. Owners may also contact Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected].
