Safety Warnings - Razor HOVERTRAX PRIZMA Owner's Manual

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Whenever you ride the Hovertrax Prizma 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
Prizma 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 7-10) increases risk of injury due to falls or
other incidents.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 8 OR HEAVIER
THAN 176 LB (80 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 176 lb
(80 kg) – including backpacks and other items that might be carried.
Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the Razor
Hovertrax Prizma. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a
person's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Razor Hovertrax
Prizma. 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 Prizma 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 Prizma.
Because products, like the Razor Hovertrax Prizma, 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
Prizma 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.

SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUED USE:
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 Prizma 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 Prizma
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 Prizma 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 Prizma off the ground
when the product is turned on. Do not turn on the Razor Hovertrax Prizma 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.
Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding. Never hitch a ride with
another product.
Do not ride the Razor Hovertrax Prizma in wet or icy weather
and never immerse this electric product in water, as the electrical and
drive components could get damaged by water or possibly create other
unsafe conditions.
