• Always wear suitable clothing and protective gear if you are riding the Skatey. This includes elbow, wrist and knee pads and proper footwear. This protection will not provide 100% protection against injuries. • If you’re riding a Skatey balance surfer for the first time always make sure that there’s someone nearby that can help if necessary.
5.2 Battery When the Skatey is not being used for a long time it’s very important that the battery is charged at least ones a month. Otherwise the battery loses its capacity. 5.3 Check your board before driving The Skatey has been manufactured in such a way that it requires virtually no maintenance.
Riding on a flat smooth surface will ensure that you can cover longer distances. Traveling uphill or on a rough or uneven surface means that your Skatey needs to work harder in order to transport you. The battery will drain faster.
Charging the battery Make sure that you do not leave the Skatey on charge for too long; never longer than 6 hours. This may reduce the bat- tery’s capacity. The consequence of this will among other things be that you are no longer able to cover long distances and that you will only be able to enjoy your Skatey over shorter distances.
If only one light on the battery indicator lights up, this means that the battery is nearly empty. In this case, you should stop riding and place the Skatey on charge. You run the risk of the board stopping suddenly and you may end up falling if you continue to ride.
10. Warranty Skatey will give a one-year warranty on manufacturing errors. Your invoice is your warranty. The invoice date is also the date on which the warranty commences. The warranty does not cover parts subject to wear such as the battery or the wheels.
