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,
take it to an authorized dealer and ask for a safety inspection.
Warning! Keep the power switched off until you are seated on
the bike and ready to ride. Turning the power on, 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 the improper charger can result in fire or
explosion.
Warning! Substituting batteries, changing motors or
controllers will void the warranty and may result in various
types of safety problems including fire, explosion, excessive
sped, or lack of control. All service should be performed by an
authorized dealer. Modifications of any sort will void the warranty.
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.
Warning! Read the enclosed instructions for the operations of
your charger. Follow the instructions. Not all chargers work the same
way. Failure to use the charger properly can result fire, shock, explosion,
or injury.
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.
