SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your riding skills and concentration diminish when you are cold, wet, too hot or dehydrated.
°
Proceed with caution and reduce speed in traffic, bad weather, and poor visibility and road
°
conditions.
Use extreme caution when braking on loose road surfaces such as sand, gravel, grass, debris
°
or leaves.
Make sure your state allows the use of your motor scooter on the road you plan to travel on.
°
Due to its size, weight and design, it is not safe to operate this motor scooter on the freeways,
°
expressways, and highways.
Use caution and pay close attention to any obstacles or variations in road surfaces. Uneven
°
roads, railroad tracks, manhole covers, painted road surfaces, road turtles and reflectors,
leaves, road debris are all slippery and dangerous, especially when wet.
Avoid particularly steel plates, which are sometimes used during road maintenance. They can
°
be extremely dangerous and slippery, especially when wet.
Use extreme caution when riding on metal grated bridges.
°
The majority of crashes between motor scooters and cars happen at intersections. Use
°
extreme caution when approaching intersections.
Even when permitted by law, never operate a vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum
°
speed rating of the tires.
Always fasten items being carried as securely as possible. In an accident, during hard braking
°
or sudden maneuvers, loose, heavy or sharp items can cause injury even though the items
may be properly fastened to the vehicle. Therefore, the trunk is the preferred place to carry
objects.
