PRODUCT MANUAL
Z I N G E R
Attention: The Zinger operates by a two lever traction control system which behaves very differently
than front wheel steered vehicles. For this reason it is imperative that all users read this entire manual
before operating a Zinger. Pay close attention to all WARNING sections in this manual as well as labels
on the Zinger itself. Available exclusively from Journey Health & Lifestyle.
