Warnings

WARNING. To avoid serious injury:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS during operation and maintenance

Parents/adult supervisors read this page first

PARENTS/SUPERVISING ADULTS MUST TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SAFELY RIDE THIS SCOOTER. If the rider fails to use common sense and heed these warnings, there is an increased risk of damage, serious injury or possibly death.

Riding an Electric Scooter Presents Potential Risks.

• This electrically driven product is not a toy (Annex I of Directive 2009/48/EC). Like any riding product, an electric scooter can be hazardous (for example, falling off or riding into a hazardous situation). Electric scooters are, of course, meant to move and it is therefore possible for a rider 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 possibly die, even when using safety equipment and taking other safety precautions.

WARNING: RX200 OFF-ROAD ELECTRIC DIRT SCOOTER RIDING MAY BE DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS. This off-road electric scooter has inflatable knobby tires. Off-road trail riding places greater stresses on tires, wheels and components. Riders who may intend to use this electric scooter to ride “off road” must be talented and experienced electric scooter riders able to handle the higher levels of risk and the higher degrees of expertise associated with such riding.

USE SCOOTERS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

Parental and Adult Responsibility and Supervision are Necessary

Because scooters can be hazardous — and not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child — 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 child to cope with the hazards. Parents and supervising adults need to select riding products appropriate for the age of the child who will ride the electric scooter and take care to prevent children who may be too immature or inexperienced for a product’s characteristics to endanger themselves around it.

• The recommended rider age for the Razor RX200 electric scooter is 13 years of age and older. Any rider, even 13 or older, unable to fit comfortably on the scooter should not attempt to ride it. 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. Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the scooter.
• Maximum rider weight 70 kg.
• 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 inherent in scooter use, 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.

Check Scooter Before Use ­ Maintain After Use

• Before use, confirm that any and all chain guards or other covers or guards are in place and in serviceable condition, that the brake is functioning properly and that tires(s) have sufficient tread remaining. Make sure that the rear wheel has no flat areas or excessive wear.
• After use, maintain and repair scooter in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts. Do not modify this scooter from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.

Acceptable Riding Practices and Conditions ­ Parents/adults should discuss these rules with their children Protective equipment should be worn. Not to be used in traffic.

Where to Ride the Scooter

• Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the electric scooter may be used. Keep safely away from autos and motor vehicle traffic at all times and only use where allowed and with caution.
• Ride defensively. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path. Respect the rights and property of others.
• Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may lessen traction and increase the risk of accidents.
• Do not ride your scooter in mud, ice, puddles or water.
• Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control.
• Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
• Do not ride your scooter in wet or icy weather and never immerse the scooter in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions.
• Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of an electric scooter indoors.
• Never use near steps or swimming pools.

How to Ride the Scooter

OFF-ROAD RIDING PRESENTS ADDITIONAL RISKS TO RIDERS AND EQUIPMENT: No electric scooter, not even this one, is impervious to damage. Off-road riding obviously increases risks of rider falls and of product damage due to stresses, impacts or wear, and riders assume all risks associated with high-stress activities:

• Riding in “off-road” conditions can present obstacles, surfaces and conditions potentially more difficult to master than “ordinary” smooth or paved surfaces.
• Check your electric scooter before every ride, and replace worn or broken parts immediately.
• Off-road riding requires skill and practice; it is not “automatic”.
• Always visually review off-road riding terrain before riding, in order to try to minimize encounters with “unknown” impediments in your path without time to react or compensate.

This scooter was manufactured for performance and durability, but it is not impervious to damage. Aggressive riding can over stress or damage any product, including this scooter, and the rider assumes all risks associated with high-stress activity.

• Do not use the speed control (twist grip throttle) on the hand grip unless you are on the scooter and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.
• Hold the handlebars at all times while you are riding.
• Do not touch the brakes or motor on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding as these parts can become very hot.
• Avoid high speeds, as you might have on downhill rides, where you might lose control.
• Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
• Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the scooter.
• Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts, wheels, or drive-train.
• Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding.
• Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.

Proper Riding Equipment, Clothes, Shoes

• Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and knee pads. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. In addition, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended.
• Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefoot or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and away from the wheels, motor and drive system.

Using the Charger

• Never modify the electric system. Alteration could cause a fire. Use of the wrong type of battery or charger could cause an explosion.
• BEFORE EACH USE: Charge the battery for AT LEAST 12 hours and inflate the tires to the correct PSI.
• Turn off after each ride. The battery may be unable to recharge if left “ON” without use.
• Do NOT store in freezing or below freezing temperatures! Freezing temperatures will permanently damage the battery.
• The charger supplied with the electric scooter should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the scooter must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.
• Use only a charger recommended by Razor.
• The charger is not a toy. Charger should only be operated by an adult.
• Do not operate charger near flammable materials or an open flame.
• Unplug charger and disconnect from scooter when not in use.
• Do not exceed charging time.
• Always disconnect scooter from charger prior to wiping it down or cleaning with a damp cloth.
