Freedom Trax FT1 Pro All Terrain Wheelchair Attachment

The Freedom Trax FT1 Pro is designed for easy mounting and dismounting without the need for assistance. It se

curely attaches to manual wheelchairs and is adjustable for different wheel widths.

Step-by-Step Setup of Freedom Trax FT1 Pro:

1. Unbox the Freedom Trax Pro:

   • When you receive your Freedom Trax, you'll find it attached to a piece of plywood with four bolts. Remove the bolts and lift the Freedom Trax off the plywood.

2. Assemble the Track Pro:

   • You’ll need to attach the motor and track covers on each side. Use the provided wing nuts to secure the panels.
   • Ensure that the four brackets (marked with red arrows) on each side are at 90-degree angles. If any are bent from shipping, you can straighten them by hand.

3. Adjust the Track Width:

   • Measure the distance between the center of your wheelchair wheels (where they hit the ground). You’ll need to adjust the Freedom Trax Pro to match that distance.
   • To do this, tilt the unit on its side and measure the track width. For instance, if your wheelchair wheels are 22 inches apart, subtract 2.5 inches, so the track should measure around 19.5 inches.
   • Use the two knobs located at the front and back of the Freedom Trax Pro to adjust the width of the tracks to fit your wheelchair.

4. Install the Front Tie-Downs:

   • Install the front tie-down brackets with the U-shape facing the rear of the Freedom Trax.
   • Slide the tie-down into the slot on each side and secure them with screws. This ensures the tracks stay in place while you're using the Freedom Trax.

5. Mounting Your Wheelchair:

   • Before mounting, test your wheelchair's clearance by rolling it into the Freedom Trax to ensure the width and depth are correct.
   • If necessary, adjust the stopper at the back of the wheelchair’s tire channel.
   • Once in position, slide the tie-downs into the proper channel and adjust the cords for a firm fit.

6. Attaching the Joystick:

   • Connect the joystick to the battery compartment. You can either attach it to your lap or secure it to the back of your chair for a caregiver to operate.
   • Make sure the joystick cord is tucked away neatly to avoid picking up debris.

7. Powering Up:

   • Press the power button on the joystick, choose your speed, and you’re ready to go! The Freedom Trax should now be operational.

8. Dismounting:

   • To dismount, reverse the process: Disconnect the joystick, remove the tie-downs from your wheelchair, and carefully roll out of the tracks.

9. Charging and Storing:

   • After use, plug the Freedom Trax Pro into the charger. If you need to save space, you can store it on its side.

Tips:

• Adjustment: If the tracks are not aligning correctly with your wheelchair, adjust the width or the position of the tie-downs.
• Safety: Go straight up inclines, and be cautious when traveling on uneven or soft terrain (like sand or gravel).
• Practice: Mounting and dismounting may take a bit of practice. It helps to have a caregiver assist if needed.
