general warning
Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity. Scooters can, and are intended to mo-ve and it
is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall. lf such
things occur you can be seriously injured or died.
BE CAREFUL!
You will see people on TV and maybe even people you know doing tricks and
stunts. These are people who have been practicing on scooters for a very lo-ng
time. Don‘t try something until you are ready. Avoid steep inclines and don‘t ride too
fast - you can lose control and fall. Skateboard parks are not designed for scooters.
DO NOT USE NON MERCEDES-BENZ PRODUCTS WITH YOUR SCOOTER
Mercedes-Benz scooters have been built to certain design speci fications. The ori-
ginal equipment supplied at the time of sale was selected on the basis of its com-
patibility with the frame, fork and all other parts. Certain aftermarket products may not be
compatible and will void the warranty.
LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING PRODUCT, USING A SCOOTER CAN BE A DANGEROUS
ACTIVITY AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH PROPER
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
