HOSS Jr. - Owner's Manual
Storage of the
Hoss Jr.
Short Term and Overnight Storage
When ending
Hoss Jr.'s
use for the day, if the batteries do not need charging, simply turn
the power OFF and remove it. The next morning, put the power in, get in, turn power ON
and you are ready to go again.
Long Term Storage
When the
Hoss Jr.
will not be used for an extended period of time, there are several
things you should do to help maintain its proper working condition.
The powerchair and its batteries should only be stored in a dry environment with
moderate temperatures. Long term exposure to excessive hot or cold temperatures will be
harmful to the life of the batteries. The batteries must be fully charged before they are stored.
We also recommend that you disconnect the battery leads or remove the batteries from the
powerbase.
Every one to two months, you should reconnect the battery leads and the charger to
make sure that the batteries are still fully charged.

Hoss Jr.
