Safety Warnings - Razor HOVERTRAX 2.0 Owner's Manual

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Whenever you ride the Hovertrax 2.0 you risk serious injury or death from collisions, falls or loss of control. To
ride safely, YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL.
WARNING: Riding any electric product can be a hazardous activity.
Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the
manufacturer. Like other electric ride-on products, the Razor Hovertrax 2.0
can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall
off and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction
or expertise can eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or
die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR
OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: Failure to read and understand "How to Operate"
section of this manual (pages 6-10) increases risk of injury due to falls or
other incidents.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 8 OR HEAVIER
THAN 220 LB (100 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220 lb
(100 kg) – including backpacks and other items that might be carried.
Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the Razor
Hovertrax 2.0. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person's
size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Razor Hovertrax 2.0.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product
is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 8 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 8 years or older is only an
estimate and can be affected by the rider's size, weight, or skills – not every
rider 8 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider
unable to fit comfortably on the Razor Hovertrax 2.0 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 Razor Hovertrax 2.0.
Because products, like the Razor Hovertrax 2.0, 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 RIDER, 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 rider, and recommendations 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.
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 a product's 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 this product.
NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your Razor Hovertrax 2.0
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.

An important message to all users
Periodically review this information and make sure that you understand all
warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. Do not let others ride the
Razor Hovertrax 2.0 until they have read this manual. Any type of wheeled
activity can be hazardous. Wheels can, and are intended to move and it is
therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or
fall off. In such situations serious injury or death could occur.
Always be aware of the activity around you. Use the Razor Hovertrax 2.0
in areas free from fixed or moving hazards. Watch your surroundings for
pedestrians, animals and riders of other wheeled devices.
WARNING: Only use the Razor Hovertrax 2.0 indoors or on
completely smooth surfaces. Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces, which
could result in a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall. See the section
on Terrain for more guidelines.
WARNING: Do not lift the Razor Hovertrax 2.0 off the ground when
the product is turned on. Do not turn on the Razor Hovertrax 2.0 in mid-air.
This will cause the wheels to spin freely which could result in injury to
yourself or damage to things around you.
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.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric product.
