HOSS Jr. - Owner's Manual 19
SHOULD THE BRAKE DISENGAGE ON A WHEELCHAIR EVER APPEAR TO WORK
POORLY OR INCORRECTLY, STOP RIDING IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT YOUR
DEALER FOR SERVICE!
Seat Assembly Operation
Hoss Jr.
comes with removable/height adjustable arms. These arms are designed to provide support
for your arms while seated on the wheelchair, and for assistance when getting on and off of the
wheelchair.
Each arm is designed to hold 300 pounds, and NOT THE PERSONS TOTAL
BODY WEIGHT.
Persons with no use of their legs, or no ability to transfer weight to the floor
should seek other means of assistance (slide board, helper, etc.) when transferring in and out of the
wheelchair. Arm failure will result if excess weight is applied to the arm.
Width adjustable arm adjustments
1. Loosen the black knobs under the edge of the seat. Rotate counter clockwise
to loosen.
2. Slide the armrests in or out as needed.
3. Tighten the black knobs. Rotate clockwise to tighten.
Should you wish to remove the armrests, simply pull them out when the knobs are loose.
Remember to tighten the knobs to avoid their loss.
Seat Height Adjustment
The seat assembly is height adjustable.
1. Remove the seat assembly by un pinning the seat and lifting the seat assembly
straight up. Set aside.
2. Locate the seat height adjustment bolts and nut located on the post where pins were
removed.
3. Remove the bolt, nut, and washers. Take note of
their position
in order to correctly replace them.
4. The seat height post will now move up and down.
5. Position the seat height to new desired position.
6. Replace the washers, bolt, and nut in their
proper order. Tighten until all play is eliminated.
7. Replace the seat assembly and test the new height.
It is recommended that the seat assembly be positioned at the lowest comfortable seat
height.
Hoss Jr.'s
stability will be improved with a lower height.
