BUILT-IN STARTUP BALANCING

The T580 Warrior has a built-in Startup Balancing feature which may be turned on or off via the T580 Warrior itself. This feature enhances the unit's self-balancing feature by further stabilizing the board and ensuring that the pedals always face up. By default, this feature is turned on. With this feature on, if the rider falls or otherwise dismounts the unit while moving over an incline, the unit may continue to move on its own as it attempts to balance, resulting in damage to others, surrounding obstacles, and/or the unit itself.

To turn the feature off, use the power button. While the unit is powering on, quickly press and release the power button a second time. You will hear a confirmation beep. Follow the same steps to turn the feature on again.

If you decide to use this feature, it is recommended to ride only on surfaces which are completely flat with stable terrain. When the unit is on and this feature is on, do not place your hands on or attempt to grasp the unit anywhere near the wheels or fenders. Doing so may cause the wheels to spin on their own for a brief moment. Always turn off the unit before lifting. Do not lift or carry the unit when this feature is on and the board is powered on. Failure to adhere to these warnings and/or instructions could result in injuries including but not limited to: abrasions, lacerations, smashed fingers and/or amputation of fingers, injury of others, and damage to surrounding objects.

STANDARD MODE / ADVANCED MODE

The SWAGTRON^® T580 Warrior includes three riding modes in order to provide all kinds of riders with the best experience possible.

Easily switch between Learning and Standard Mode directly on your hoverboard. After pressing the power button to power on the board, quickly press the power button a second time. A confirmation beep will emit when the T580 Warrior changes modes. Modes can also be changed via the SWAGTRON^® app which is available in both the App Store and Google Play Store. The Advanced Mode can only be activated through the SWAGTRON^® app.

USING BLUETOOTH^®

In order to properly connect to the app, Bluetooth V4.0 is required from your mobile device.

• The T580 Warrior will make different sounds to indicate different states:
  1. On and awaiting connection,
  2. Connection/pairing successful
  3. Connection terminated
• Powering on the T580 Warrior will automatically enable Bluetooth^®, which will stay enabled as long as the T580 Warrior is powered on.
• Some mobile devices immediately become "discoverable" once Bluetooth^® is activated. Please check the instructions of your Bluetooth^®-enabled device for any trouble with this feature.
• As with most Bluetooth^® devices, it is recommended to keep the connected devices within a reasonable distance from one another. The connection may be terminated or fail to work properly if the connected devices are too far apart.

LED INFINITY WHEELS

• Please inspect your hoverboard upon unpacking for any signs of physical damage or defects. If the lights do not work or if any light's color cover is missing, contact customer support.
• Ride as directed by the user manual and do not perform stunts or dangerous maneuvers.
  Light cover damage due to collisions, tampering, or misuse is not covered under any warranty.
  

HOW TO RIDE

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Before riding, equip yourself with suitable protective gear. Make sure the hoverboard is placed on a level surface and fully charged. See CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS for charging instructions.

If the hoverboard doesn't seem to work, make sure your feet are centered on the pedals.

• Do not ride sideways across slopes.
• If the T580 Warrior does not start self-balancing automatically, the system indicator may light up and/or flash to indicate an error. DO NOT operate the T580 Warrior under these conditions. Turn the hoverboard off and back on again. If this fails to resolve the issue, re-calibrate the hoverboard by following the instructions in CALIBRATION.

• If the system indicator shows an error while the hoverboard is on a slope, move it to level ground then turn it off and back on again.
• Do not put anything else on the pedals other than your feet, as this could cause the hoverboard to lock or move on its own.
• Do not tilt forward or backwards beyond 10°, as the unit may malfunction and/or you may fall off.
• Avoid uneven or rocky surfaces as well as steep slopes with inclines over 30° as the T580 Warrior may not function properly.
• Never ride at high speeds, perform stunts, or turn abruptly without checking your surroundings.
• Do not carry passengers or heavy items while riding the hoverboard.
• Never ride in the rain, dark, or dimly lit areas.
• Never use your hoverboard to do anything that may cause personal injury or property damage.
• Never ride backwards for long distances or at high speeds.
• Never step off the hoverboard when it is in motion.
• Do not operate your hoverboard near flammable vapor, liquids, material, or other fire hazards.
• Do not ride the hoverboard while intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance which may affect your judgment or ability to ride. You can be arrested for using a vehicle while under the influence.
  

FAILURE TO USE GOOD JUDGMENT AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR, IN VERY RARE CASES, DEATH. USE WITH APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.

HOW IT WORKS

The T580 Warrior uses an internal gyroscope with acceleration sensors to move based on your center of gravity. Do not bend at the waist. The movement will be mostly in your ankles.

MOVE FORWARD
Shift your weight forward to move straight ahead.

STOP
Return to an upright, standing position.

TURNING LEFT
Shift your weight slightly on the LEFT PEDAL to turn left.

TURNING RIGHT
Shift your weight slightly on the RIGHT PEDAL to turn right.

STEPPING OFF
With the hoverboard completely stopped, step back with your dominant foot, then quickly step off with the other foot. In general, it's easier to step off the back of the hoverboard. Be careful when stepping off for the first time.

The SWAGTRON has an inertial dynamic stabilization system that keeps you upright. However, it will stop detecting you if you lean too far left or right or if you take a foot off of the board. Slow down before turning or you will fall off and be injured.

• Avoid sudden turns while riding fast, as this may result in an accident.
• Do not step on the center pivot point of the SWAGBOARD T580 Warrior.

CALIBRATION

If your SWAGBOARD T580 Warrior seems to pull to the left or right during your ride, you may need to recalibrate its sensors. The calibration process requires a flat stable surface and a level. Levels may be purchased separately at most hardware stores or level apps may be downloaded with most smartphones.

If the T580 Warrior is still not calibrated correctly, repeat steps 1 to 5 at least twice more before calling customer support for additional assistance.

SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES

Although the T580 Warrior is designed with gyroscopic balancing technology, it's still possible to fall off. Consider the following techniques and info to help ensure you have a safe, fun riding experience.

• Appropriate clothing and safety gear are highly recommended. During riding, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist braces, and an ASTM F1492 approved helmet should be worn by all riders of all ages at all times.
• Do not wear anything that can drape over or get caught into/under the wheels.
• Wear flat, close-toed shoes to maintain flexibility and stability.
• When going through entryways, remember that you are 4.5 in (11 cm) taller while riding.
• Make sure your feet are always on the pedals. Taking your feet off the hoverboard while riding is incredibly dangerous.
• The hoverboard may not function if it flips upside down. To restore normal functionality, make sure it is level and right side up then turn the hoverboard off and back on again.
• Ride on even pavement or smooth roads. Relax your legs while riding, knees slightly bent. This helps maintain balance when you encounter uneven ground.
• For your own safety and the safety of others, ride only at speeds you are comfortable with. Be ready to stop at any time.
• When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
• Pay attention to your surroundings at all times. Your eyes are your best tools for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
