IMPORTANT WARNINGS FOR SAFE USE
For your safety, READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY, before you use the Hoverwheel.
WARNING:
Always inspect the Hoverwheel prior to use.
Properly inspecting and maintaining your product can reduce the risk
of injury. Always check the battery charge before using the
Hoverwheel. Do not ride the Hoverwheel when its battery is low, as
indicated by
blinking red lights
and a warning beep
during operation.
The Hoverwheel may stop operating and cause you to fall.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET WHEN RIDING.
Use
an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet that fits properly with the
chin strap in place and protects the back of your head. Local LAWS
may require riders of wheeled products to wear a helmet and other
protective gear. Never ride the Hoverwheel barefoot or in open toed
shoes or hight heels.
WARNING:
Check local laws and regulations to see where
and how you may use your Hoverwheel legally. Follow all applicable
laws for vehicles and pedestrians.
WARNING:
Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces, which could
result in a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall. See the section
on Terrain for more guidelines.
WARNING:
Do not exceed the maximum weight of 180 pounds
(80 kilograms)—including backpacks and other items that might be
carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage
the Hoverwheel.
WARNING:
The Hoverwheel should not be ridden
by young children. Use your judgment about whether a
child has the necessary coordination, strength and
maturity to use the Hoverwheel. Only children 13 years
old or older should be permitted to ride the Hoverwheel.
WARNING:
Do not lift the Hoverwheel off the
ground when the unit is turned on. This will cause the
wheel to spin freely which could result in injury to yourself
or damage to things around you.
WARNING:
Do not modify the Hoverwheel.
Modifications could interfere with operating the
Hoverwheel and could result in serious injury and/or
damage. Modifications void the Hoverwheel’s Limited
Warranty.
WARNING:
Since the Hoverwheel balances by
accelerating in response to your leaning forward, if you
lean too far forward too quickly, the motor will not be able
to catch up with you and you may fall. The Hoverwheel
will tilt backward at the maximum speed. DO NOT
attempt to accelerate further or you will fall.
WARNING:
Never drink and drive. This goes for the
Hoverwheel as well.
