PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR MAVERICK POGO
STICK. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE BELOW AGE AND WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS:
MAVERICK Limited Edition
- FOR AGES 5 +, 40-80 LBS.
Use your head—have fun but play safe. Using your pogo safely
is mostly common sense.
1.
Wear a helmet
.
Don
’
t even think about using the Maverick
without one. If worn properly, helmets prevent hundreds of
serious head injuries every year.
2.
Check for hazards before you start.
Never jump without
first making sure that the surface is safe
—
solid, flat, clean, well
lit, and dry. The best bet: concrete. Stick to outdoor areas that
are free of hazards and give you plenty of room to maneuver.
3.
Hazards to watch out for:
•
Traffic:
Steer clear of streets, parking lots, and other areas
vehicles use.
•
Humans:
Using your Maverick too close to other people is
dangerous and rude.
•
Slippery/Uneven Ground:
Don
’
t try to jump on a surface
which is wet, oily, or even lightly covered with sand, gravel,
leaves, or litter
—you
’
ll greatly reduce the traction of your tip.
•
Steep Inclines:
Remember, you want to maintain a position
perpendicular to the ground. If the surface slopes sharply,
that
’
s just not possible, and it
’
s far more likely you
’
ll skid side-
ways and fall.
•
Soft or Weak Surfaces:
Don
’
t jump on plank flooring, lawns,
or any other inconsistent surface.
REMEMBER - USE YOUR HEAD, ALWAYS
WEAR A HELMET
SAFETY
USER Guidelines
•
Check your Pogo before first use and on a regular basis.
•
NEVER use your Pogo with bare feet. Always wear athletic shoes.
•
Hold the Pogo vertically, and develop balance by pulling the Pogo up with you.
•
Do not use your Pogo without the rubber tip properly in place.
•
Store your pogo in a dry and sheltered place.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE
1. The Maverick pogo is ready to use–
no assembly is required.
2. The Maverick Inner spring is not adjustable.
3.
The inner spring is deliberately "tight" in all new Maverick Pogo Sticks.
4. It takes several successive bounces to gain the momentum necessary to com-
press the spring.
•
Stay within your abilities.
With experience and skill, you
’
ll be able to react to
pretty much any situation reflexively. But skill develops slowly, so take your time.
As you put in the hours, you
’
ll become instinctively aware of how much traction
you have, how high you
’
re going to bounce, how to correct for balance, and
where you
’
re going to land. Be prepared to bail out at any time. If and when you
find you do have to bail, even from low elevations, be sure to land with your
knees slightly bent to help absorb some of the impact.
Maintenance
Your Pogo Stick has been lubricated at the
factory but will require additional lubrica-
tion on a regular basis. Proper lubrication
can be maintained with automotive oil.
During heavy use your pogo should be
cleaned and lubricated every few days.
To lubricate your Propel Pogo proceed as follows:
1. Push down top foam to expose screw as shown, remove screw.
2. Twist out rubber plug to remove.
3. Squirt a little oil through the notch on the side of the steel washer; it is not nec-
essary to remove the washer.
4. Twist rubber plug back in, lining up plug screw hole with hole in tube.
5. Replace screw; push foam back over screw head.
