Safety Warnings - Razor HOVERTRAX PRIZMA User Manual

EN
A NEW TECHNOLOGY, WITH NEW CONCEPTS FOR CONTROL AND SAFETY
As is obvious the first time you see it, the Razor Hovertrax Prizma is different from things you may have ridden before. No handlebars. No front
or rear wheel. No brake. It is new and it moves, which means if you are interested in riding it you should be interested in learning how to do
that properly – and if you are interested in minimizing the risk of falling off or being injured, you should be very interested in focusing on how
to ride this new product as safely as possible. Helping you do that is the goal of this Manual and other warnings. THIS PRODUCT IS NEW, IT IS
DIFFERENT, BUT IT MOVES AND YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE YOUR FUN AND
MINIMIZE RISKS OF INJURY PRESENTED BY RIDING THIS NEW MOVING PRODUCT.
MOVEMENT OF THE RAZOR HOVERTRAX PRIZMA IS CONTROLLED BY THE ANGLE OF THE FOOT PLATFORMS, WHICH IS
DETERMINED BY PRESSURE APPLIED BY THE RIDER'S FEET ON THE PLATFORMS.
Different? Well, yes, the Hovertrax Prizma is "different. " It is an electrically motorized, computerized, gyroscopically-balance-assisted,
independently articulated, dual-platform two-wheeled personal mobility system. If that sounds unlike any bicycle, scooter, RipStik, roller skate
or water ski you have ever used, you're on the right track.
However, the Razor Hovertrax Prizma does not operate "magically", and it does not fly, float or disappear. Its movements are not controlled
remotely, or by the rider's brainwaves or earnest good wishes, and it has neither a steering wheel, nor a brake, nor external stabilizers of any
kind. Yet it can go, stop, turn and back up – and all of this is controlled solely by the rider's feet moving at angles relative to the ground. THIS
IS CRUCIAL TO RECOGNIZE AND TO REMEMBER AT ALL TIMES. The angle of your feet – forward, level or rearward – on each foot
platform is how Hovertrax Prizma receives, processes and executes instructions from the rider. This will affect the operation of the
Razor Hovertrax Prizma far more than leaning or "shifting body weight" alone.
WARNING: Read this manual – including both "Safety Warnings" and "How to Operate" and learn to ride safely!

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 increases risk of injury due to falls or other
incidents.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 8 OR HEAVIER THAN
80 KG (176 LB). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 80 KG
(176 LB) – 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.
