FIRE:
PARENTS and RIDERS:
Make sure riders understand that sparks can start a
fire. Keep sparks away from flammable or combustible substances. Use only
under close adult supervision.
BE RESPONSIBLE:
Safety is important. Parents must review the following
warnings and instructions with each rider:
• For outdoor use only on solid, clean, dry, hardened surfaces. Keep sparks
away from substances that can catch fire, such as dry vegetation, paper,
chemicals or gasoline. Sparks can induce fire.
• Do not use in any area prone to wildfires or posted by fire authorities as a

®
Drifter Fury™ emits localized sparks when the Spark Bar handle is pulled
up. Be responsible.
• Do not ride at night.
• Keep sparks away from eyes, hair, exposed skin and clothing.
Sparks can burn.
• Spark Bar and cartridge get hot during use. Do not touch after use.
• Do not pull up on the Spark Bar handle continuously - no more than
5 seconds at a time - while the Ground Force Drifter Fury is moving
under power. Allow 20 seconds between spark events to prevent
overheating spark components. Always allow to cool (at least 15 minutes
recommended) before replacing a worn spark cartridge.
• Observe all other product safety warnings and instructions as provided
elsewhere in this manual.
WARNING:
Riding an electric product does present potential risks
and caution is required. Like any electric product, the Ground Force Drifter
Fury has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off
or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any electric product, the Ground
Force Drifter Fury can and is intended to move and it is therefore, of course,
possible to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both
children and adults responsible for supervising them must recognize that if
such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or die, even when using
safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE
COMMON SENSE.
WARNING:
PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND
SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY:
Because products, like the Ground Force
Drifter Fury, can and do present potential hazards plainly associated with
their use, it is well recognized THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL
RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING ELECTRIC PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE
AGE OF A CHILD, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH
CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME ELECTRIC
PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or
size of child, and different age recommendations are found within this category
of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the
expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards.
The recommended minimum rider age is 8 and older.
Any rider unable to
fit comfortably on the product should not attempt to ride it. A parent’s decision
to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child’s
maturity, skill and ability to follow rules.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is
intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to
understand the hazards inherent in product use, should not use or be permitted
to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions,
head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or
pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 140 lb (64 kg). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the Ground Force Drifter Fury.

and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the brake
