MOUNTING/DISMOUNTING DEVICE
• The device is designed to be mounted from the front by a manual wheelchair rolling
backwards onto the device. Practice will be required to easily mount the device. Always
ensure the battery connector is disconnected prior to mounting and dismounting. Failure
to do so could move the device unintentionally resulting in serious injury. Always have a
spotter until you are comfortable mounting and dismounting alone.
• Always mount and dismount the device on
SOLID LEVEL
ground. Failure to mount or
dismount the device on solid level ground may damage the device and possibly cause
injury.
• Always ensure the front casters are pivoted out towards the front of the wheelchair. The
front casters should enter the front caster ramp always pivoted out or the device will not
attach properly to the wheelchair. If the front casters have any problems ascending the
front caster ramp, exit the device and try again.
• Adjustment of the device width and front caster ramp assembly is crucial for easy
mounting. If Freedom Trax does not fit your wheelchair, please contact us immediately
and we will accommodate the best we can.
• DO NOT attempt to back off the device. While the device does have a backstop at the
back wheelchair wheel cradle, a large amount of force could propel the wheelchair
backwards off the device.
• Freedom Trax has a limited amount of adjustment. Do not attempt to modify Freedom
Trax anyway in order for your wheelchair to mount. Please contact us immediately and
we will accommodate the best we can.
• When mounting or dismounting, always ensure the lock down mechanism is out of the
way of the wheelchair and in the unlocked position allowing the front cradle mechanism
to rotate freely.
• When mounted, attach safety straps to a convenient location on your wheelchair to
ensure the front ramps do not fall down during operation. Failure to do so can result in
the ramps folding under the unit when moving forward.
