HOSS Jr. - Owner's Manual
Keep your feet
on the footrests while riding the
Hoss Jr.
to avoid hitting them on
objects as you drive. Always wear shoes while operating your wheelchair.
Always wear your lap belt when riding your wheelchair.
Lock the seat
assembly before operating the
Hoss Jr.
to prevent yourself from falling
from the seat while moving.
Remember,
The
Hoss Jr.
is built to carry a single person. Do not carry passengers
under any circumstances or accidents and bodily injury will occur.
Always
go straight down curb cuts no greater than 3" or in a ditch go straight up curb
cuts no greater than 2", not at an angle. You want the front wheels and the rear
wheels to climb up or go down together, not one at a time. Not doing this will
result in the wheelchair violently swinging from side to side (as a car would in a
ditch) or the wheelchairs overturning. Also approach curb access ramps the
same way, straight on, not at an angle.
NEVER
attempt to go up or down a regular
height curb or tipping and personal injury will result!
Warning
Driving the
Hoss Jr.
in busy streets, busy parking lots, or in crowded shopping
malls can be dangerous for you or other people as you may be struck by a vehicle or
you might strike a pedestrian. Use caution in congested areas at all times.
Lean forward
a slight amount when traveling up an incline.
NEVER
leave your wheelchair exposed to the elements. This includes storage outside
or carrying the wheelchair on an outside car-lift during periods of high mois-
ture ( mist, rain, snow, etc.) or any other inclement weather (dust or sand storms,
etc.). Use only a damp rag to clean your wheelchair (never use solvents or abra-
sive cleaners). The use of excessive water, as from a garden hose or bucket may
cause damage to your wheelchairs electronics.
Use caution
when driving off even a small curb or raised surface (with a 3" maximum).
The act of dropping off the edge subjects the wheelchair to extreme forces that
can damage the frame and other components. This type of damage is not covered
under warranty.
