Page 12: Do Not Ride Before Reading
DO NOT RIDE BEFORE READING ALWAYS wear a helmet and relevant safety equipment when riding the board. ALWAYS ride your board at speeds at which you are comfortable without power or brakes. Due to a low battery on your board or remote your board can lose brakes and power during your ride. - Page 13 PRO and GTR modes are very powerful and the remote acceleration and brakes are highly sensitive. Be sure to be very gentle with these controls to avoid being thrown off the board. Start by trying to move as slowly as possible within these speed modes while using both the brake and accelerator.

Page 43: Heat Protection Warning
HEAT PROTECTION WARNING To protect the entire electric system from over heating, we have created software that is designed to reduce the board performance. This forces it to cool down and prevent the rider continuing to put stress on the electric system. If ever the system does reach this protection mode, the remote will automatically go to PRO speed mode and will vibrate one time and the km/hr reading will change to a red colour. -
Page 44: Error Codes
This error code may be displayed if an error has been detected from one, or both, of the motors in operation. The error will indicate ‘Motor1 Err’, ‘Motor2 Err’ or ‘Motor1&2 Err’.

Bearings get dirty and affect ride quality which may reduce battery performance and cause possible bearing failure. -
Page 46: Battery Care
BATTERY CARE Your battery and therefore your board, should always be stored at room temperature. Excessive heat can permanently affect or damage the battery. The board does have heat protection software in place should this occur whilst riding to prevent the battery from overheating. -
