LIBERTY™ 624 MINI POWER WHEELCHAIR
RECOMMENDED USE GUIDELINES
The LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is a life enhancement device designed to provide added mobility to a variety of individuals. There are, however, some unforeseen medical conditions that may necessitate certain individuals to have added assistance from an attendant. Prior to use of the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI , any common occurrences that can be foreseen (i.e., slopes, rough terrain, hills) should be practiced by the operator, attendant(s), and health care professional(s).
Eagle Note: Do not operate the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI without thoroughly reading this manual.
Be certain the on/off switch is in the off position when not riding or getting on or off. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the joystick and possibly causing injury.
Do not exceed the specications in this manual or do not attempt to modify the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI in any way that is not authorized by Eagle Parts. Unauthorized modications of the original design could cause the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI to become unsafe and personal injury can result. Any modications not authorized by Eagle Parts may cause the powerchair to malfunction and will void the warranty. Contact your provider if you have any questions regarding this manual.
Please keep your arms on the armrests and your feet on the footrest at all times while operating the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI to prevent hitting objects as you are riding.
The LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is designed to carry a single person. Do not carry passengers under any circumstances or the powerchair will become unstable and possibly tip over. Personal injury may also result.
Always go straight up or down a hill when driving on an incline. This will allow the front and rear wheels to climb up or go down together. This will reduce the possibility of the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI overturning.
Use extreme caution when driving or operating on public or busy streets, in parking lots or shopping malls.
Do not operate or store the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI where it could be exposed to the elements (rain, snow, mist and below freezing temperatures). This includes storage on an outside car/van lift. If attempting to operate the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI in the above conditions, possible damage could occur to the electrical system or loss of control could occur. Never attempt to drive an LIBERTY™ 624 MINI that has been exposed to moisture until it is dried thoroughly.
Use caution when driving on a raised surface or near unprotected ledges or a drop off such as curbs, ramps, porches, or stairs.
Disconnect the batteries if you will not be using the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI for an extended period of time.
Check with your Physician or Pharmacist if you are taking any medication that may affect your ability to operate the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI. The powerchair is a motorized vehicle that requires
5

mental judgement and reexes. If taking medication impairs your ability to operate the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI, an accident or personal injury may result.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages while operating the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI.
If your chair is equipped with pneumatic tires, be sure the tires are properly inated to 30 psi. This
will insure the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is operating at its peak performance and will greatly improve your stability. Eagle Note: DO NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.
LIBERTY™ 624 MINI comes standard with pneumatic tires.
Never, under any circumstances, use the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI as a seat in a motor vehicle. The
LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is not an approved motor vehicle seat.
If possible, avoid stopping on an incline. It is always best to stop on level, at surfaces where there is no possibility of overturning or tipping the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI.
Do not operate in icy or slippery conditions. This will increase the possibility of an accident and possible personal injury.
Always protect the batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. This will damage the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions will not prevent a battery from freezing
Persons with disabilities, which limit their ability to remain upright without assistance, should consult with their Physician before attempting to operate the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI.

Tranfers
Transferring to and from your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to have proper assistance available while learning to safely transfer to and from your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI
To eliminate the possibility of injury to yourself and others Eagle Parts and Products ask that you verify the following before attempting to transfer.
1. The power must be turned OFF.
2. Make certain the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is not in the freewheel position.
3. Angle the footrest to an up position. This will help to avoid your feet being tangled during the
transfer.
4. Make sure the armrests are ipped up or removed from the powerchair.
EAGLE WARNING: Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. If you fail to heed this warning, a tip or fall may occur.
Motor Vehicles
Your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is not manufactured with the intent of providing proper restraint during
motor vehicle transport.
1. Never allow anyone to sit in the LIBERTY™ 624 MINI in a moving vehicle.
2. Always be sure your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is secured properly while being transported.
EAGLE WARNING: Failure to adhere to the above warnings can result in serious injury.
Weight Limitations
Your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI is rated for a maximum weight of 300lbs. Exceeding the weight capacity will void your warranty and may result in personal injury.
Public Roads and Parking Lots
When seated in your LIBERTY™ 624 MINI, it may be difcult for motorists to see you. To ensure safety, always assume you cannot be seen. Wait until your path is clear of trafc and proceed with extreme caution.
Eagle Note: Many municipalities have laws against operating your powerchair on public roads. Be sure to check local laws before attempting to operate on a public road.

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.
