before you get on your Hurricane.
PRE-RIDE ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS
n Is your proposed path clear of people, pets, and obstacles?
n Have you planned your route to avoid adverse terrain and as many inclines as possible?
n Are you positioned comfortably in the seat? See “Getting On Your Hurricane,” above.
n Is the seat at the proper height? See VII. “ Comfort Adjustments.”

n Set the 6.5-13 km/h (4 - 8 mph) switch to your desired maximum speed of 6.5 or 13 km/h (4 or 8 mph); then
set the speed adjustment dial to your desired speed. We recommend you initially set the 6.5-13 km/h (4 - 8
mph) switch to 6.5 km/h (4 mph) and adjust your speed to the slowest setting.

OPERATING YOUR HURRICANE
