ATTENTION: It is mandatory that all users read this entire manual before operating the
MovingStar. The MovingStar relies on a two-lever control system that is very different from front
wheel steered vehicles. While this system has inherent advantages, it also presents new dangers
and warnings that you should be aware of before your first ride. Pay special attention to the
Warnings on page 2 - 4 as well as all sections containing additional warnings in BOLD CAPITAL
LETTERS.
