HOW TO OPERATE
RIDING TIPS
• Learn to ride the Hovertrax Prizma in a large, safe area free from all forms of interference.
• Keep your posture upright, but relaxed. Align your body over the Hovertrax Prizma and use a wide stance with your
feet close to the wheels.
• Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of you - your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and
slippery surfaces.
• Hold your arms comfortably at your side.
• Start at a slow and comfortable pace. Never aggressively accelerate or lunge forward.
• Be careful and considerate of others.
• Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
• Always be prepared to stop.
• Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way.
• Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed
when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the
right and slow down.
HOVERTRAX PRIZMA TIPS
Once you have charged the battery, follow these six easy steps:
• Remember to check for the green battery indicator light before you get on. If it is not lit, the product is not on and
you will fall.
• Do not stand on or near the center or rotating portion of the foot platform.
• Remember to keep your body relaxed through your back and legs. Stand naturally.
• Practice controlled stopping.
• If you stand with one foot on the foot platform with the product on, keep that foot level, or the Hovertrax Prizma
will move.
• Be aware of the width of the Hovertrax Prizma and the path you are traveling. Make sure you will fit.
TERRAIN AND AVOIDING HAZARDS, SLIPS AND TRIPS
The Hovertrax Prizma is intended for indoors or use on smooth, flat surfaces. However, to prevent loss of traction,
you must always be careful when riding and learn to identify and avoid slippery and wet surfaces, loose materials,
slopes, potholes and other obstacles.
Stop and step off the Hovertrax Prizma over unsafe surfaces or terrain.
The Hovertrax Prizma wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay upright. Slips occur when the Hovertrax
Prizma loses traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding over slippery
surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials may cause the Hovertrax Prizma to lose traction.
• Keep alert.
• Never jump on or off the Hovertrax Prizma with both feet.
• Please don't ride transversely on a hillside or turn on a slope. This may cause Hovertrax Prizma's balance sensors
to be unable to orient themselves to "level" state, impairing rider control.
• Avoid riding over any surface where the undercarriage may strike an object.
• Use caution when riding over any change in terrain.
