SCOOTER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your scooter can provide you many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Here are some very important safety tips:

Wear a helmet

Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a head injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should also wear suitable eye protection.

Make yourself easy to see

To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.

Know your limits

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid accidents.

Keep your scooter in safe condition

For safe riding, it's important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by KYMCO for this scooter.

Inspect your scooter before riding

Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure you, and your passenger's safety, before each ride.

Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days

Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance can double on a rainy day. Stay off of the painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy appearing areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal gratings and bridges. Whenever you are in doubt about the road conditions, slow down.

Modification

Modification of your scooter, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.

SCOOTER SAFETY

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

For your safety, always wear an approved motorcycle or scooter helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long- sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride your scooter.

Helmets and protection

Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. Your helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and to aid your vision.

Additional riding gear

In addition to a helmet and eye protection, you should also use:

Sturdy boots with nonslip soles to help protect your feet and ankles. Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises. A motorcycle or scooter riding suit or jacket that has been designed for comfort as well as protection. Bright colored and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your scooter.

Wear gloves Clothes should be fit properly (not too tight or

loose)

Always wear a helmet. You should also wear eye protection

Wear bright or reflective clothing Footwear should be the proper size, have low

heels, and offer ankle protection

WARNING

Not wearing a helmet increases your chance of serious injury or death in a crash.

WARNING

Be sure you and your passenger always wear an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. You should also wear eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.
