RIDING SAFETY
This is NOT your typical Mobility scooter!
**This is a fast and powerful scooter that is capable of bringing the front wheel up and off the
ground if not careful. Having the seat slid completely back as well as the speed set to high
increases its ability to “Pop a Wheelie” when the throttle is engaged. Use caution!
Like any sport, cycling carries the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride the XMB-420,
you assume all responsibility for these risks. Thus, you need to know and practice the rules of
safe and responsible riding.
YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES MAY NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR ACCIDENTS
INVOLVING THE USE OF THIS CYCLE. TO DETERMINE IF COVERAGE IS PROVIDED
YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY OR AGENT.
Safety Basics: Do’s and Don’ts
The Do’s
o
Always conduct a Safety Check before you ride your XMB-420. Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls of your XMB-420.
o
Always wear an approved helmet when riding your XMB-420. Follow the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet.
o
Always keep body parts and other objects away from the spinning wheels of your XMB-420.
o
Always wear shoes that will stay on your feet and will stay on the floorboard.
o
Wear bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it can catch on moving parts of the
XMB-420 or objects at the side of the road or trail.
o
Think about your speed, and keep your speed consistent with safe operating conditions.
The Don’ts
o
Never ride with headphones. They mask traffic sounds, distract you from concentrating on
your surroundings, and their wires can tangle in the moving parts of the XMB-420M, causing
you to lose control.
o
Never carry a passenger. The maximum carrying capacity is 350 lbs.
o
Never ride barefoot or wearing sandals.
o
Don’t jump with your XMB-420. It puts great stress on everything from frame and forks to
drive train. Riders who jumping their XMB-420 risk serious damage to their XMB-420 and
will void their warranty.
o
Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or your complete control of the XMB-420
or which could become entangled in the moving parts of the XMB-420.
