6.8. RIDER PRESCRIPTIONS
Use caution on slopes. Use caution when ascending, descending, or crossing slopes. Do not attempt to ride across any
slopes with loose material or slippery surfaces. When riding across any slope, lean uphill to maintain balance.
Watch those turns! Always turn slowly and with caution. Fast turns can lead to loss of control and falls. Lean into turns.
Do not take risks. When you encounter a slope, uneven terrain, or other terrain feature with which you are not
experienced or that makes you at all concerned about your safety, do not risk riding over it. Instead choose an
alternative route.
Always keep your hands firmly on the Handlebar and your feet on the footrest when riding. Do not hold any object
in your hands.
Be relaxed. Ride in a relaxed position with your elbows slightly bent and head up.
Be prepared to stop. Be especially careful when approaching or crossing intersections, driveways, corners,
doorways, and other areas where you may need to slow down or stop to avoid motor vehicles, bicyclists, or
pedestrians.
Be alert. As with any other transportation device, you must be mentally alert to safely ride the machine. Do not
attempt to ride if you are ill or if you cannot comply fully with the instructions and warnings in this Manual. Do not
ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Avoid distractions. Do not use a cell phone, listen to headphones, or engage in any other activity that might
distract you or interfere with your ability to monitor your surroundings while riding.
Do not ride backward. You should not ride backward, except to maneuver a few feet. Instead, turn and ride
forward. There is a difference between maneuvering backward and riding backward, similar to the difference
between stepping back and walking backward. Maneuver backward only when necessary to open a door or back
away from an obstacle.
Never restart and ride your machine after it has indicated an empty Battery condition or performed a low Battery
Safety Shutdown. The machine may not have enough power to keep you balanced, especially if you demand a lot
of power at once. If you restart and continue riding, you risk falling. Also, you may damage your Batteries
resulting in reduced Battery life and capacity.
Never let go of a balancing machine. Never let go of your machine when in Balance Mode, because the machine
will travel some distance on its own before transitioning to Standby Mode. The machine will not travel very far if
you let go of it when it is stopped. But, if you let go of it when it is moving at any speed, it could travel much
farther, risking injury to others and damage to the machine.
Riding on the road. The machine is not intended or recommended for primary use on roads. If you must ride on
the road, or must cross the road, be extremely careful. Ride as far away from traffic as possible. Allow plenty of
time for crossing roads. Remember, the Speed Limiter or an unexpected obstacle could slow your crossing.
Check to make sure that riding on the road is allowed by law.
Leave a gap! Leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar. Do not lean over or into the Handlebar. Leaning
over or into the Handlebar dramatically increases the risk of loss of control, collisions, and falls.
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit (rider) specified in the Reference Manual. If you exceed the maximum
weight limit, you are at greater risk of falling and injury, and damage to the machine could result. Also, the rider's
weight must not be less than the minimum rider weight limit specified in the Reference Manual. If you are below
the minimum rider weight limit, you may not be able to ride safely because you cannot shift your weight far
enough back (behind the center line of the Wheels) to safely slow down and stop, especially when riding downhill.
Riders below the minimum weight limit might also fail to properly activate the machine's Rider Detect Sensors.
Maintain Tire inflation pressure at the level stated in the “
Technical Specifications Tab
le”
in the Reference
Manual. If you exceed the Tire inflation pressure stated on the Wheel label, you increase the risk of loss of
control, collisions, and falls. Lower pressure reduces range and risks Tire and Wheel damage.
Pre-ride inspection. Inspect your machine before each use. Do not use if any part is loose or damaged.
Do not place any objects on seat. This could cause the machine to move on its own when in Balance Mode with
the parking legs deployed. The machine could be damaged or become unsafe to use.
Do not open the Powerbase. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Powerbase. By opening the
Powerbase, you risk electric shock injury. Also, you could void your limited warranty, damage your machine, and
render it unsafe to use.
Do not open the Gearboxes. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Gearboxes. You could damage your
machine and render it unsafe to use.
Do not use in hazardous atmospheres. The machine has not been certified for use in hazardous atmospheres.
Hazardous atmospheres are locations where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases, vapors,
liquids, dust or fibers.
