Information relating to water projections:
This device is
IP54
certified. The protection class "IP" is a standard defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission's international
standard IEC 60529. This index classifies the degree of protection provided to electrical materials against intrusion by solid (dust) and liquid
(water) bodies. The first digit defines the resistance to solid bodies on a scale from 0 to 6, the second digit defines the resistance to liquids on
a scale from 0 to 8. In this case (IP54), the evidence shows that the scooter is protected against dust and water splashes from all directions
(rain and splashes).
This scooter is not protected from water jets from any direction from a lance (karcher and other hoses), from sea water, or from total
immersion (short or prolonged).
CAUTION:
Driving an electric scooter can be dangerous. Certain conditions, or improper use, may cause the device to fail without the
manufacturer's fault. The scooter is designed to move, so it is possible to lose control of it and fall or put yourself in dangerous situations,
even if you are aware of the instructions necessary for proper use. If such an incident were to occur, the user could be injured or even killed,
even if safety precautions were followed.
DRIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions about the consequences of not maintaining or misusing your electric scooter.
Since any incident is likely to "result in serious injury or even death", this sentence will not be mentioned again in this manual,
although such a possibility exists.
