equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric transportation
products, ACTON Blink® is intended to move and accordingly it is possible for the rider
to lose control, fall, collide with other objects, and/or get into dangerous situations
that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can completely eliminate. If such things
occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and using
other precautions.
RIDE 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 ACTON Blink®. Because any incident
can result in serious injury or even death, we repeat the warning of possible serious
