CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS!
Please read this section! It is very important for your safety and
satisfaction that you read these cautions and warnings. Thanks!
Warning! Always wear your helmet, obey local laws, and
exercise caution when riding.
Warning! If you are not certain that your bike is safe to ride, call
the IES Service Department at 1-866-726-6856 for detailed
advice and information.
Warning! Keep the power switched off until you are seated on
the bike and ready to ride. Turning the power on when not seated, and
then accidentally twisting the hand throttle can result in the bike
accelerating or “jumping” and cause damage or injury.
Warning! Never attempt to disassemble the battery, motor,
controller, or throttle. This can result in injury, fire, or damage to the
bike.
Warning! Only use the charger that was supplied with your bike
to charge the battery. Use of an improper charger can result in fire or
explosion. Read and follow the charging instructions in the manual for
complete information about the operation of your charger.
Warning! Substituting batteries, changing motors or controllers
will void the warranty and may result in various types of safety
problems including fire, explosion, excessive speed, or lack of
control. All service should be performed by the IES Service Department
or authorized dealer referred by the IES Service Department.
Warning! Avoid contact with live wires, or the battery
terminals. Although the voltage is low, the amperage is high. Burns and
other injuries can result from contact with any body part.
Warning! Keep the battery and charger out of the reach of
children.
Caution! Fully charge the battery before the first use. Failure to
do this can result in decreased battery performance for the life of the bike.
Fully charge the battery each time you use the bike.
Caution! Do not store your new bike where it will be exposed to
high heat, high humidity, or rain for extended periods. All of
these will decrease the life and appearance of your bike.
Caution! Do not immerse your bike in water especially sea
water. This can damage or destroy the electrical components.
