AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS:
Razor
®
Jr products are intended to allow younger children to learn and to
enjoy their early experiences using ride-on toys. Studies suggest that children
at age 3 have the coordination required to use a steering wheel or handlebar
and can use a 3-wheeled scooter, but may not have developed the balance
required to operate 2-wheeled scooters. This ability is expected to develop
with time and experience to where, depending on experience, most children
by the age of 5 have the balance and coordination to use 2-wheeled scooters.
Adult supervision is required as children learn and grow because children do
not understand the risks of riding in areas with cars and are at a very high risk
of falling and injuring themselves.
This manual contains important information. For your child’s safety, it is your
responsibility to review this information and make sure that you instruct your
child to follow all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. Razor
USA recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in
this manual with younger riders and that you inspect and maintain your child’s
Razor Jr scooter to ensure their safety.
GENERAL WARNING:
Scooter riding can be a hazardous
activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of
the manufacturer. Scooters can and are intended to move, and it is therefore
possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall.
If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die. 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.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your Razor Jr
scooter. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do
not repeat the warning of potential serious injury or death each time such a
possibility is mentioned.
• Do not allow children under age three (3) to use the scooter. Close adult
supervision is required.
• Do not exceed 44 lb (20 kg) total weight on the Razor Jr scooter.
• Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the scooter.
• Always pay attention to where your child is going.
• Always wear safety equipment, such as helmet, knee pads and elbow pads.
Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the chinstrap
securely buckled.
• Always wear closed toe shoes.
• Ride on smooth, paved surfaces without loose debris, such as rocks or
gravel, and away from motor vehicles.
• Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes as
scooter may suddenly stop.
• Avoid streets and surfaces with water, mud, ice, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves
and other debris. Wet weather impairs traction, stopping, and visibility.
• Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.
• Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides.
• Obey all local traffic and scootering laws and regulations.
• Watch out for pedestrians.
• 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.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Direct parental supervision is required at all times. Scooters are meant to
be used only in controlled environments, free of potential traffic hazards and
not on public streets. Do not allow your child to ride a scooter in any areas
where vehicle traffic is present. Child must maintain a hold on the handlebars
at all times. Never allow more than one child at a time to ride a scooter.
Never use near steps, sloped driveways, hills, roadways, alleys or swimming
pool areas. Keep fingers and other body parts away from the product when
folding or unfolding. Adults must not allow children to assist in folding or
unfolding the scooter.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always ensure child is wearing proper protective equipment, such as an
approved safety helmet. A helmet may be legally required by local law
or regulation in your area. A child should always wear shoes, never ride
barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of
the wheels. Knee pads and elbow pads are recommended.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS
FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.
USE CAUTION.
WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly
inspecting and maintaining your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always
inspect your scooter before riding and regularly maintain it. Replace worn
parts when they occur.
WARNING:
CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTER USE. Check
local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your scooter
legally. In many states and local areas scooter riders are required BY LAW to
wear a helmet. Check local laws and regulations regarding laws governing
helmet use and scooter operation in your area.
