INTRODUCTION

Make sure you read this complete manual before riding your Hover-1 Aviator. Failure to do so, or failure to follow its guidelines could lead to serious injury or death.

The Aviator is a personal transporter. Our technology and production processes are developed with strict testing for each Aviator scooter. Operating the Aviator without following the contents of this manual may lead to damage to your Aviator scooter, or bodily injury.

HELMETS SAVE LIVES!
Always wear a properly fitted helmet that complies with CPSC or CE safety standards when you ride your scooter.

Correct Fitting: Make sure your helmet covers your forehead.

Incorrect Fitting: Forehead is exposed and vulnerable to serious injury.

As with all mechanical components, the Hover-1 Aviator is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratch or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced. Do not ride in an abusive manner.

In this manual, the CAUTION sign indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can cause minor or moderate injury.

In this manual, the WARNING sign indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can cause death or serious injury.

Great care should be taken with the Hover-1 Aviator when folding or unfolding. If you do not understand how to operate the levers, please visit www.Hover-1.com

RIDING YOUR AVIATOR SCOOTER

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

OPERATING YOUR DEVICE

Make sure the device is fully charged before the first initial use. Before turning on your Aviator scooter, ride it like a normal kick scooter to get comfortable with the device before using it with the motor.

When comfortable riding the scooter, power it on. For the motor to activate, you must first start riding the scooter and then push the throttle down with your thumb.

To slow down the scooter, push the electric brake down. This will stop the motor and slow you down. Also press the mechanical brake with your foot to manually slow down the scooter.

To turn, use the handlebar to turn in the direction you wish to turn.

The Aviator scooter can be operated manually if you do not wish to use the motor. As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.

Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your Aviator to a safe operating surface.

Do not turn sharply or at high speeds to avoid danger. Do not turn or ride quickly along slopes, as it may cause injury.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS

Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed in the "Specifications" section of this manual.

Overweight exertion on the device may increase possibility of injury or product damage.

OPERATING RANGE

The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.

• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.
• Weight: A lighter User will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your device.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.
  *Do not attempt to stop suddenly as this may lead to injury or damage to your brake discs.

Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe, efficient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to your brake. Apply the brake gradually and give yourself enough room to come to a complete stop safely.

Please follow all local, state and federal laws in regards to recycling, handling and disposing of Lithium-ion Battery.

SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE EXPOSED TO ANY SUBSTANCE THAT IS EMITTED FROM THE BATTERY.
