Safety Guidelines
Always
turn the power switch to the OFF position when stopped or when getting off or on the
Hoss Jr.
. This keeps you from accidentally hitting the throttle and causing an accident.
For persons with limited lower body strength, or persons who make slide transfers and
may forget to turn the power switch off, we recommend special caution.
DO NOT
operate the unit if it behaves erratically, or shows abnormal response, heating,
smoking or arcing. Turn the system off at once and call your dealer for service.
Use extra caution
when riding your
Hoss Jr.
off of the pavement or on rough, uneven or soft
surfaces tipping and injury may result.
Do not exceed
the incline specifications for your
Hoss Jr.
wheelchair or it will become
unstable and tipping will result. Persons with limited ability to protect themselves (like
persons paralyzed on one side) should use protective equipment such as bicycle head-
gear. The specification chart in your manual will indicate the maximum incline for your
particular style wheelchair.
