WARNING:
Cable operated brakes are very effective but must be
adjusted and maintained on a regular basis. Check or have them
checked and adjusted by a qualified mechanic. Worn brake parts,
stretched or frayed inner wires or a kinked housing indicate brake
service or parts replacement may be necessary for proper function.
4. Safety
4A. Helmets.
Although not every state or municipality requires juvenile-
age cyclists to wear a helmet, Razor strongly recommends you wear a
properly approved helmet, such as ANSI or SNELL, even if the law
does not mandate the use of a helmet.
Suitable helmets are available in a variety of styles. The most popular
for kids is the skateboard-style “stunt” helmet. There are many brands
available and they come in various sizes to fit any child or adult.
Keep feet on the pedals at all times while riding in the seated position.
Do not ride more than one person at a time. Never use near steps or
swimming pools.
WARNING:
Helmets must be properly fitted and the straps
adjusted properly to be effective. Ask your dealer to help you with the
selection, fit and adjustment of your helmet.
4B. Night riding and low-light conditions.
Razor strongly
recommends against riding at night or when lighting or visibility
conditions are less than optimal (such as dawn and dusk).
WARNING:
Lighting for night riding or low light conditions are not
required and are not standard equipment on the Scream Machine. We
do not recommend riding at night or in low-light conditions.
4C. Wet weather riding.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of
your brakes is reduced significantly. This makes it harder to control your
speed and easier to lose control. In wet conditions it is advised that you
ride more slowly and apply your brakes earlier and with greater caution
than in normal, dry conditions.
WARNING:
Wet weather impairs traction, braking, control and
visibility. The risk of accident is increased dramatically in wet weather.
WARNING:
Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the
crank, steering system, wheels and all other moving components.
