SAFETY WARNINGS
Here are some useful tips to make sure you always have a safe ride:
• Children, the elderly, and pregnant women should not use the Slate.
• Do not ride after drinking or taking prescription medication.
• Do not carry items when riding.
• Prior to each ride, inspect each part of the Slate to ensure it has been
maintained correctly and is functioning properly.
• Always give way to pedestrians.
• Always comply with local traffic laws and regulations. Remember, the
Slate is a motor vehicle, and is treated as such by local law enforce-
ment. You can and will be arrested for drunk driving. Many cities have
restrictions on where you can drive motor vehicles, as well as additional
restrictions on driving non-automobiles on streets and highways.
• Be alert to things in front and far away from you.
• Make sure your feet are always placed securely on the deck.
•The Slate cannot be ridden by more than one person. Only one person
can ride at a time.
• When you ride the Slate along with other riders, always keep a safe
distance to avoid a collision.
• When turning, be sure to maintain your balance.
• Do not allow distractions when riding, such as answering the phone or
engaging in any other activities.
• Avoid riding in the rain or on smooth surfaces such as snow or ice.
• Do not ride on roads with obstacles (such as litter, small stones, etc.).
• Avoid riding in narrow spaces or on steep slopes.
• Avoid riding around flammable gas, steam, liquid, or dust that could
cause fire.
• Never operate the product barefooted and keep shoelaces tied.
• Riding with improperly adjusted brakes is dangerous and can result in
serious injury or death.
• Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel, which
could cause you to lose control and fall. Sudden or excessive applica-
tion of the brake may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may
result in injury or death.
