Never allow more than one child at a time to ride the scooter. Never use near steps, sloped driveways, hills, roadways, alleys, or swimming pool areas.

Do not ride a scooter in wet weather. Scooters are intended for use on solid, flat, clean and dry surfaces such as pavement or level ground without loose debris such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride a scooter in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of a scooter indoors. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE

FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES RISKS OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. ALWAYS USE CAUTION.

ALWAYS INSPECT THE SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly inspecting and maintaining your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your scooter before riding and maintain it.

DO NOT USE NON-PULSE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS™ PRODUCTS WITH YOUR PULSE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS™ SCOOTER. This scooter has been built to specific Pulse Performance Products™ design specifications and should not be modified. The original equipment supplied at the time of sale was selected on the basis of its compatibility with the frame, fork and all other parts. Certain aftermarket products may or may not be compatible. Consult your retailer or visit www.pulsescooters.com prior to modifying or replacing any component with a non-factory specified product. Altering of the original components may or may not be compatible with the design and will void the warranty.

Set Up and Usage Instructions

1. Loosen the stem tube clamp bolts with the 5mm hex wrench and push the stem tube onto the fork until it bottoms out onto the fork headset lock nut.
2. With the front wheel pointed straight forward, the handlebars should be square to the front wheel; tighten the stem tube clamp bolts evenly and securely.

Failure to properly install and tighten the stem tube clamp bolts may cause the rider to lose control and fall. If you do not understand these instructions or the concept of "tighten securely" seek the assistance of a qualified mechanic.

Clamp
Using the 5mm hex wrench, check the stem tube clamp bolts to ensure that they are tightened securely before riding.

Wheel and Bearings
Under normal circumstances and conditions Pulse Performance Products™ wheels and wheel bearings are maintenance free. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to periodically inspect the wheels for wear and tear, the axle bolts for proper tightness, and bearings for side-to-side play and loose parts. When a wheel or wheel bearing develops play, this is an indication of excess wear and replacement is necessary. Replace immediately with only genuine Pulse Performance Products™ wheels. Worn wheels and bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the Pulse Performance Products™ warranty. Wheels other than genuine Pulse Performance Products™ wheels may not be compatible with your Pulse Performance Products™ scooter. The use of anything other than genuine Pulse Performance Products™ replacement parts may affect your safety and will void your warranty.

Cleaning Your Scooter
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the plastic components or soften the decals or decal adhesive.

How to Ride
To go: Place one foot onto the deck, push forward with the other foot.

To turn: Steer with both hands on the handlebar to turn. For enhanced cornering, lean slightly into the direction of the turn.

To stop: For controlled stops, apply the brake by stepping on the rear fender brake. Pulse Performance Products™ recommends that you practice applying the brake at various speeds and in an open area free from obstructions before riding your Pulse Performance Products™ scooter around people and obstacles.

Wheelies and other stunt-type riding reduces your ability to maneuver and control your scooter. Take the necessary precautions such as wearing appropriate protective gear and practice in an area safe for riding that is free from obstructions.

Loose Parts
Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. Make sure the stem tube clamp is tightened properly before riding.

Replacement Parts
For a complete selection of parts visit our website at www.pulsescooters.com. Replace all worn or broken parts immediately.

Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow and kneepads are also recommended. Always wear shoes (lace up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefoot or in sandals and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels.

Ride Carefully
Avoid steep inclines and don't ride too fast, you can lose control and fall. Skateboard parks are not designed for scooters. Never ride in traffic or on the street and watch your surroundings for pedestrians, bicyclists, boarders and skaters. Maintain a hold onto the handlebars at all times.

DO NOT RETURN TO STORE
