BEFORE YOU RIDE AND ROUTINE
SAFETY CHECKS
Before you ride always check for the following:
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear such as:
• Approved safety helmet. (Helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation
in your area.)
• Elbow pads, knees pads and wrist guards
• Long sleeved shirt, long pants
• Gloves
• Lace up shoes with rubber soles
Brake
Check the brakes for proper function. When lever is squeezed it should slow/stop the
rear wheel without excessive effort. When you apply the brake with the throttle on, the
brake cut off switch should stop the motor. Make sure that the brakes are not rubbing
when the lever is not being squeezed. Do not ride the scooter if the brakes are not
functioning properly.
Throttle
Once the power switch is placed in the “ON” position, twist the throttle to engage the
motor; the scooter will move. Make sure that before the throttle is twisted you are in
an open and safe area to ride, you are balanced on the scooter and have both hands
on the handlebar controls.
Tires
Inspect the wheels/tires for excess wear and replace if necessary. Regularly check the
front tire pressure and re-inflate as necessary.
Frame, Fork and Components
Always carefully inspect your scooter before you ride. Check for cracks, broken, worn
or loose components which should be repaired or replaced before your ride.
Battery
Always make sure the power switch is in the “off” position whenever the scooter is
not in use. Never store the product in outdoor conditions, never store it in the rain,
and never store the product in freezing or below freezing temperatures. These low
temperatures will permanently damage the battery.
WARNING:
Always ensure that you are in a safe open area to ride before
you engage the throttle. Never twist the throttle without being on the scooter in a
balanced, ready to ride position with both hands on the handlebar controls.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage your scooter and void your warranty.
WARNING:
A scooter that does not work properly can cause you to lose
control and fall. Inspect the entire scooter thoroughly before every ride, and do not
ride the scooter until any problem has been corrected.
