Safety Precautions - Hover-1 PRO Series Owner's Manual

SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS
• The first rule of safe riding is to use common sense.
•
Different localities and countries have different laws about riding electric
transportation devices on public roads. You should check with local officials to
ensure you are complying with local traffic law requirements.
• Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow local
laws and regulations.
• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In
the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious injury and in
some cases, even death.
• Obey all local traffic laws. Obey red and green lights, one-way streets, stop signs,
pedestrian crosswalks, etc.
• Ride with traffic, not against it.
•
Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
•
Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrian. Alert them if you intend to pass them from
behind.
• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right before crossing.
• Your Boss electric folding scooter is not equipped with reflectors. It is not
recommended that you ride in conditions of low visibility.
•
If you are riding your E-Scooter in low-visibility conditions, ensure your headlight
is turned on, and that you are wearing bright, reflective clothing.
•
When you ride in low-visibility conditions such as fog, dusk, or night, you might be
difficult to see, which could lead to a collision. To increase your level of safety, be
sure to wear bright, reflective clothing when riding in low-visibility conditions.

• Do not ride above your skill level. Ensure you have had enough practice with all
functions and features of your Boss.
• Do not ride too fast – with increased speed comes increased risk. If you are
moving at a higher speed, small bumps can create strong impacts, leading to a
higher risk of injury.
•
Do not ride with pets.
• Before stepping on your Boss, make sure it is placed flat on level ground.
• Do not try to open or modify your Boss E-Scooter. Doing so voids the
manufacturer warranty and may cause your Boss to fail, resulting in injury or death.
• Do not use the Boss in a manner that would put people or property in danger.
• If you are riding near other riders, be sure to maintain a safe distance between
each other to prevent collisions.
•
Be sure to keep your feet on the Boss at all times. Moving your feet off the Boss
while driving is dangerous and may cause the Boss to stop suddenly or veer
sideways.
•
Do not operate the Boss while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not operate the Boss when you are restless or sleepy.
•
Use your best judgment to keep yourself out of dangerous situations with your
Boss.
•
Do not ride your Boss off of curbs, ramps, or attempt to operate in a skate park,
empty pool, or in any way similar to a skateboard. Misuse of your Boss voids the
manufacturer warranty and may lead to injury or damage.
•
Do not abuse your Boss. Doing so can damage your unit and cause failure to the
operating system, which may lead to injury. Physical abuse, including dropping
your Boss, voids the manufacturer warranty.
