VIII. ASSEMBLY

WARNING!

Be aware of any possible pinch-points when connecting the rear

frame to the front frame. Please note warning labels at pinch-points during
assembly.

WARNING!

Pinching and crushing hazard! Increased hazards due to pinching or

crushing result due to the component weight (such as batteries) during
preparation for transport and maintenance work. Always carry out any work to
be done with great care. Always try to get help from a second person, especially
when stowing parts for transport.

WARNING! Pinch Point:

A pinch point is an area where you

MUST

consider

your fingers to be sure they

DO NOT

become pinched between two metal or hard

plastic areas. The greatest chance of pinch points becomes possible during the

assembly of the Buzzaround XL scooter.

INJURY HAZARD DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY!

Ensure that all components in the scooter have been correctly assembled. During
assembly, please check that all connecting/locking devices are holding in place.
