FRONT HOLD DOWN INSTALLATION

 

 

The front lockdown (Figure 1) requires installation before first use. Slide the hold down into the 
T-Slot rail as shown in Figure 2 below. When installed correctly, the locking cam loop will be 
oriented towards the back of the unit.  

Once installed, use provided Philips head screw and screwdriver to secure the hold down in the 
T-Slot rail. (as shown below)

ATTACHING YOUR CHAIR TO FREEDOM TRAX 

 

Make sure the hold down is in the widest position possible outside of the T-channel so it does 
not interfere with your wheel when you roll backwards on to Freedom Trax.  Mount Freedom 
Trax by backing on to the front ramps and position your push wheels into the side cradles.  
Position each side cradle backstop directly behind your push wheels. Once you are on Freedom 
Trax and your casters are aimed backwards, slide the hold down towards your caster.  The hold 
down lanyard rope (Figure 3) is designed to thread between the front caster wheel and wheel 
fork 

above

 the caster axle (Figure 4). Once this is complete, thread the lanyard through the 

locking cam loop (Figure 4) and up through the hole located at the top of the hold down. (Figure 
5). Once through, pull up tight to remove any slack and secure the lanyard with the locking cam 
(Figure 6). Once secure, the hold down should be as flush as possible to the front caster fork 
and result in little to no movement of the front caster.
