Stairs and Escalators
Powerchairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs and escalators. Always use an elevator. Trying
to navigate steps or escalators can result in injury to you and others.
Steps and Curbs
Your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is designed to be used in wheelchair accessible locations. Never attempt to
climb a step or curb more than 2 inches in height without assistanc
Inclines and Uneven Terrain
When climbing hills, it is important to travel as straight up and down as possible. Traveling straight
greatly reduces the possibility of tipping or falling. Always exercise extreme caution when navigating
an incline.
Never travel up or down an incline that can be potentially hazardous, i.e., snow, ice or mowed grass.
When climbing a hill, try to keep the powerchair moving. If you must stop, start slowly and accelerate
cautiously.
When descending an incline, keep your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI at a slow speed. If your LIBERTY™
624 MINI starts to move faster than you anticipated do, allow the unit to come to a complete stop by
releasing the joystick. Then guide the joystick forward slightly and continue your descent.
