Longboard has been paired to the associated remote included in the package. After turning on the Kruze Electric Longboard and the remote, both will automatically connect. If the automatic connection is successful, the pairing indicator will turn green.
If Connection Fails
After switching both the longboard and remote control ON (both must have sucient Battery Charge for normal operation), and if the remote control and longboard are not communicating, the blue color connection indicator on the remote control (A) will be ashing.
1. Switch the longboard OFF (Press and release the ON/OFF switch (C) when OFF, no indicator lamps will be illuminated).
2. Press the remote control reset button (D) until all remote control indicators are ashing rapidly. Use a pen etc to reach button.

Using your Remote
Using your Remote
· Push the throttle up to move forward and/or accelerate.
The speed at which the longboard accelerates depends on how far up you push the throttle. If this is your rst time riding, please start by gently pushing the throttle so you are comfortable with the acceleration. Make sure you have proper stance to accommodate the acceleration.
· Push the throttle down to brake and/or decelerate. The speed at which the longboard decelerates depends on how far down you push the throttle.
Note: Make sure you are familiarize with how to safely perform manual braking before riding.
Controlling Speed
Use the accelerator / decelerator paddle (A) to control speed. Push the paddle forward (toward “Speed UP”) to accelerate. Hold the paddle in position, as required, to maintain a constant speed.
To coast without any motor assistance (or braking); for example, when riding downhill, release the paddle so it is in the neutral position.
To apply “braking”, pull back on the paddle (toward “Brake”). Note that when braking, your weight will have a tendency to shift forward - it is recommended to shift your body weight back a little before braking and adjust your balance accordingly during braking.
To change motor speed allow the longboard to come to a complete stop, then move the speed selector switch (B) to the required position “HI” for high speed ; “LO” for low speed.
Turning
Lean your body either side of the longboard to initiate turn. If you lean to the right, your longboard will turn to the right. If you lean to the left your longboard will turn to the left. If turning is either too fast or too slow you can adjust the trucks by tightening or loosing.
