charge status. Refer to the illustration on the charger unit for the actual “charging”
and “charged” status indications for your model charger. Chargers have built-in
overcharge protection to prevent the battery from being over-charged. Charger will
get warm during use. This is normal for some chargers and is no cause for concern.
If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not mean that it is not working
properly.
WARNING
Charging produces explosive gases. Charge battery in a well
ventilated area, away from sparks, flames, smoking and combustibles.
BEFORE YOU RIDE
Before you ride always check 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 brake 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 brake
is not rubbing when the lever is not being squeezed. Do not ride the off-road electric
scooter if the brake is not functioning properly.
Throttle:
Once the key switch is placed in the “ON” position, the off-road electric
scooter will move once the throttle is twisted. Make sure that before the throttle is
twisted you are in an open and safe area to ride, you are balanced on the off-road
electric scooter and have both hands on the handlebar controls.
WARNING
Your off-road electric scooter comes with a variable speed
throttle. Always remember to twist it slowly or gradually; DO NOT quickly twist the
throttle to its end until you feel comfortable on the off-road electric scooter and with
your speed. If you twist the throttle quickly at first, you will accelerate rapidly and
may get thrown from the off-road electric scooter and risk serious injury or death
(doing it will also decrease your battery life).
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 off-road electric
scooter before you ride. Check for cracks, broken, worn or loose components which
should be repaired or replaced before your ride.
