Securement of Wheelchair in Vehicle
Lowering Ramp and Loading Passenger
1. Before deploying the ramp, ensure the vehicle is in park and on a section of unobstructed level ground to allow for safe loading of the wheelchair occupant.
2. Push the ramp inwards and pull the latch release upwards to unlock the ramp latches as you draw the ramp away from the vehicle. Unfold the short section of ramp and lower it to the ground, as illustrated.
3. Once the ramp has been lowered, the wheelchair passenger can be escorted up the ramp and into the vehicle.
4. The wheelchair passenger should be seated in a forward facing position, in the centre of the vehicle, near the front of the lowered floor.
5. Once the passenger has been safely positioned, lock the wheelchair in place by applying the wheelchair brakes.
Never attempt to enter the vehicle in a wheelchair unless being assisted by a person capable of guiding the wheelchair up the ramp and into position for safe transportation.

Routine Maintenance
Routine inspection for obvious signs of damage is all that is required to ensure the safe operation and long life of your conversion. The Liberty Motor Company conversion is designed to be maintenance free for the life of the vehicle

Towing
Due to the lowered floor design of the Liberty Motor Company wheelchair accessible conversion, there is an increased risk of damage to the rear of the vehicle as a result of towing. In the event that your vehicle requires a tow, it is recommended that a flatbed tow truck be used.

Slope Adapter Removal (if equipped)
1. To remove the optional slope adapter, use the supplied wrench to unscrew the single, centrally located, attaching bolt. The wrench can be found in the pouch of the vinyl spare tie cover.
2. Lift the slope adapter out of the vehicle after unscrewing the single attaching bolt.
3. Attached to the underside of the slope adapter is a shorter bolt with a rubber washer. Remove this bolt from the slope adapter and place it in the floor to seal the hole that was exposed after removing the longer slope adapter mounting bolt.
4. The longer slope adapter mounting bolt can now be attached to the underside of the slope adapter where the short bolt was located. The long mounting bolt can remain there until the slope adapter is reinstalled.
5. To reinstall the slope adapter, reverse the process of its removal.
