HOSS - Owner's Manual 3
NOTE: MODIFYING AND/OR TAMPERING IN ANY UNAUTHORIZED MANNER
WITH THE WHEELCHAIR WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MAY CAUSE THE
WHEELCHAIR TO MALFUNCTION, EXPOSING YOU TO PHYSICAL HARM.
ATTENTION:
This manual contains specific information about your power wheelchair.
While some of the information is the same for all power wheelchairs, make sure that
you follow the specifications and directions that apply to your powerchair. If you are
unsure of the style powerchair you have, contact your dealer.
Your powerchair is a vehicle which provides independence and freedom to people with
limited mobility. Driver error can cause injury to the driver and to other people. Please
use common sense, courtesy, and obey the following guidelines for vehicle operation.
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
Safety Guidelines
Always
turn the power switch to the OFF position when stopped or when getting off or on the
Hoss
. 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 power wheelchair off of the pavement or on rough,
uneven or soft surfaces tipping and injury may result. See maximum incline rating on
specification chart.
Do not exceed
the incline specifications for your
Hoss
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 headgear. The
specification chart in your manual will indicate the maximum incline for your particular
style wheelchair.
