•
RIDER must be 3 years of age or older.
•
ALWAYS sit on the seat.
•
ALWAYS wear shoes.
•
KEEP FEET ON FOOT PLATES WHEN IN MOTION.
•
ONLY one rider on the Scooter.
If more children ride on the side, front or back, they
may fall off, block the driver’s view or cause the Scooter to tip over. Serious injury
could occur! Also, the Scooter may be overloaded, which could damage the motor or
gears (weight maximum of 50 lbs. (22.7 kg)).
•
DO NOT drive near full-sized, motorized vehicles.
It is
DANGEROUS
to drive the
Scooter on driveways, streets or alleys that are used by full-sized motorized vehicles.
The Scooter is small and may be out of sight to the driver of a full-sized car.
•
DRIVE ONLY ON LEVEL GROUND!
The Scooter will operate best on concrete or
other firm surfaces.
•
NEVER drive near water! DO NOT
drive toward a swimming pool, creeks or a pond!
Drowning could occur.
•
DO NOT drive DOWN a steep slope.
The Scooter may go too fast, causing it to tip
over or slip.
•
DO NOT drive UP a steep slope.
The motor may stop and the Scooter could roll
backward and go too fast, causing it to tip over.
•
DO NOT drive near drop-offs, such as steps or decks.
The Scooter could tip over.
•
Keep hands, hair and clothes AWAY from moving parts, such as the wheels or the
motor.
Serious injury could occur.
•
DO NOT drive near flammable vapors, such as gasoline, paint thinner or liquid
wax that are usually stored in the garage.
The Scooter’s electric switch will spark
when first turned on or when turned off and could cause an explosion or fire! Keep
flammable products tightly sealed and stored away from the Scooter.
•
DO NOT drive the Scooter in rainy or snowy weather.
Water will damage the motor,
electrical system and battery. Poor traction may cause the Scooter to slip or the
wheels to spin, which could cause the power to shut down (see thermal fuse
information in Battery Maintenance, page 12).
•
DO NOT drive the Scooter in loose dirt, mud, sand or fine gravel,
which can
damage moving parts, motors or the electrical system. Poor traction could cause the
