OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Wear your helmet at ALL times when riding the Eliminator or Eliminator OSR.
The end-user is responsible for normal maintenance and maintaining the Eliminator or
Eliminator OSR in proper operating condition.
The manufacturer is not responsible for failure, damage or injury caused by improper
operation or maintenance by the end-user.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and
transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE
attempting active use of the racing chair.
DO NOT sit erect or lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind
you as this may cause the racing chair to tip over.
If the racing chair is equipped with kneeling upholstery, always ensure the foot pouch
is securely latched to the back upholstery. Otherwise, injury can occur.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as
the racing chair may tip over.

I
Before using the racing chair, inspect the hand caliper brake and hand caliper brake
N
pads for proper operation and wear. Replace if worn.

side.

are bare or flat. If a flat wheel occurs, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, the wheel warranty will be void.
