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.
