CONTENTS

WARNING: Riding a four-wheeled electric product like the Dirt Quad

500 does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding
product, the Dirt Quad 500 has inherent hazards associated with its use (for
example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding
product, the Dirt Quad 500 can and is intended to move, and it is therefore
possible to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both
children and adults responsible for supervising them must recognize that if
such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or die, even when using
safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE
COMMON SENSE.

WARNING: NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE 14 OR HEAVIER

THAN 220 LB (100 KG). Because products, like the Dirt Quad 500, can and

do present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well
recognized THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN
SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR
PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS
AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT.
Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child, and different
age recommendations are found within this category of product which are
intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or
physical ability, or both, of a rider to cope with the hazards.

Razor recommends that children under the age of 14 not be permitted to
use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight
or height – it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well
as physical size. The recommended rider age of 14 years or older is only an
estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every
rider 14 years old will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable
to fit comfortably on the Dirt Quad 500 should not attempt to ride it, but a

parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should
be based on the child’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules.
Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard
Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to ride the
Dirt Quad 500.

Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to
understand the hazards, should not use or be permitted to use products
inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions, head, back
or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or pregnant
women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.

NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric ride­on product. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death,
we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time
such a possibility is mentioned.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220 lb. Rider weight does
not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain
control of the Dirt Quad 500.

CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS

Before use, check to confirm that any and all chain guards or other
covers and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that
the brake is functioning properly, and that tires are inflated properly and
have sufficient tread remaining. The product should be maintained and
repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, using

only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not
be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.
Replace worn or broken parts immediately.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may
affect the locations where the Dirt Quad 500 may be used.

Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel(s) or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid
pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who
may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.

The Dirt Quad 500 is meant to be used on private property and on closed
courses and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your electric four
wheeler in any areas where pedestrian or vehicle traffic are present.

Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the
electric four wheeler and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.

This product was manufactured for performance and durability, but is not
impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can overstress and
damage any product, including the Dirt Quad 500, and the rider assumes all
risks associated with high-stress activity.

Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree
of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with
aggressive riding activities.

Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.

Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric four wheeler.

Never use near steps or swimming pools.

Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles, to come
in contact with moving parts of the Dirt Quad 500, including the brake, wheels
and drive train, while the motor is on. Do not touch the brakes or electric
motor on your electric four wheeler when in use and/or immediately after
riding, as they can become very hot.

Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.

Never hitch a ride with another product.

Do not ride the Dirt Quad 500 in wet or icy weather and never immerse the
electric four wheeler in water, as the electrical and drive components could be
damaged by water or create other possible unsafe conditions.

Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks of use. Do not
ride the electric four wheeler in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive
speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging
surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of an electric four wheeler indoors.

Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your electric four wheeler. These
four wheelers are not made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as
jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding,
or other maneuvers also enhance risk of loss of control, or may cause
uncontrolled rider actions or reactions.

Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE

Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may be

has been repaired or replaced.

The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult.

Do not operate charger near flammable materials.
