IMPORTANT WARNINGS FOR SAFE USE
For your safety, READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY, before you use the Solowheel.
WARNING:
Always inspect the Solowheel prior to
use. Properly inspecting and maintaining your product can
reduce the risk of injury. Always check the battery charge
before using the Solowheel. Do not ride the Solowheel
when its battery is low, as indicated by the lower red
taillight blinking or shaking of the wheel during operation.
The Solowheel may stop operating and cause you to fall.
Make sure the tire is properly inflated (45 psi).
WARNING:
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET WHEN
RIDING.
Use an approved bicycle or skateboard helmet
that fits properly with the chin strap in place and protects
the back of your head. Local LAWS may require riders of
wheeled products to wear a helmet and other protective
gear. Never ride the Solowheel barefoot or in open-‐toed
shoes or high-‐heels.
WARNING:
Check local laws and regulations to see
where and how you may use your Solowheel legally. Follow
all applicable laws for vehicles and pedestrians.
WARNING:
Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces,
which could result in a loss of balance or traction and cause
a fall. See the section on Terrain for more guidelines.
WARNING:
Do not exceed the maximum weight of
220 pounds (100 kilograms)—including backpacks and
other items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight
limit could injure the rider and damage the Solowheel.
WARNING:
Young children should not ride the
Solowheel. Use your judgment about whether a child has
the necessary coordination, strength and maturity to use
the Solowheel. Only children 15 years old or older should
be permitted to ride the Solowheel.
WARNING:
Do not lift the Solowheel off the ground
when the unit is turned on. This will cause the wheel to
spin freely which could result in injury to yourself or
damage to things around you.
WARNING:
Do not modify the Solowheel.
Modifications could interfere with operating the Solowheel
and could result in serious injury and/or damage.
Modifications void the Solowheel’s Limited Warranty.
WARNING:
Only use the battery charger and power
chord that is included in your Solowheel box.
WARNING:
Since the Solowheel balances by
accelerating in response to your leaning forward, if you
lean too far forward too quickly, the motor will not be
able to catch up with you and you may fall. The Solowheel
will tilt backward at the maximum speed. DO NOT attempt
to accelerate further or you will fall.
WARNING:
Never drink and drive. This goes for the
Solowheel as well.
