Potholes and slippery surfaces such as lane markings and train tracks all become more
hazardous when wet.
Night Riding
A rider is very difficult for motorists to see at dusk, at night, or at other times of poor visibility. If
you must ride under these conditions, check and be sure you comply with all local laws about
night riding; follow the Rules of the Road, and take the following precautions:
Make sure that your XMB-420 is equipped with correctly positioned and securely mounted
reflectors. Make sure your clothing or cargo does not obstruct a reflector or light. Ensure that the
front lights are on.
Wear light colored, reflective clothing and accessories, any reflective device or light source that
moves will help you get the attention of approaching motorists, pedestrians and other traffic.
Ride slowly. Avoid hazards, such as potholes and curbs.
Avoid areas of heavy traffic, dark areas, and roads with speed limit over 35 mph. If possible, ride
on routes already familiar to you.
Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting, if possible.
Other Reminders
The XMB-420 works best on level ground. Use caution while going down an incline, such as a
hill or a ramp. Hill climbing and repeated acceleration/braking will exhaust the battery much
more rapidly.
The XMB-420 has an electrical brake cutoff system. When you engage either brake, the throttle
becomes inoperative. Release the throttle before braking. Do not “ride” the brakes.
The battery does NOT require deep discharging. If your XMB-420 is put into storage, re-charge
its battery at least once every 90 days.
Do not store your XMB-420 in direct sunlight for an extended time.
Store your XMB-420 in a dry place. Exposing your XMB-420 to rain, snow, or other precipitation
may result in damage.
