Important Information - ProGo 3000 Operator's Manual

2.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Why you should read this manual:
This manual was written to help you understand the operation and maintenance of your vehicle.
It's important for you to understand your new scooter, its features and operations so that
from your first ride you will get the most from your new scooter and form proper habits to
keep it maintained for optimum performance and safety for many years to come.
Keep this manual. Refer to it often and use it to instruct other users. If you loan out your PROGO®
scooter to others, also loan them this manual.
It is also important that your first ride on a new scooter is taken in a controlled environment,
away from vehicles, obstacles and other hazards.
Even if you have previous experience with motorized scooters, vehicles, bikes and the like, you
probably need an update of your scooting habits, knowledge and assumptions. There are many
changes in technologies and construction which can affect the function, handling, performance
and safety of your scooter.
GENERAL WARNING: Scooting can be a hazardous activity even under the best
of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your scooter is your responsibility
as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many "Warnings"
and "Cautions" concerning the possible consequences of failure to follow
instructions, perform maintenance, or inspect your scooter. Falls can result
in serious injury or even death, and operating within the guidelines outlined
in this manual will help reduce those risks.
Attention:
• The status of the PROGO® as a "motor vehicle" varies from state to state and is subject to
drivers licensing, insurance requirements and registration.
• You should check with a reliable authority in your state to see if the PROGO® must be
registered as a motor vehicle. Your police department or local department of motor vehicles
may be able to answer your questions or direct you to a reliable authority.
• Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this
vehicle. To determine if coverage is provided you should contact your insurance company or
agent.
• The recommended age and minimum weight for the PROGO® is 16 years of age or older
and 100 pounds, but this is subject to the physical coordination of the rider, the ability of the
rider to wear protective gear, use good decision making ability, and take responsibility for
their actions.
2.2 A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS
It's a tragic fact that most children are more likely to have an accident than adults. As a parent or
guardian, you bear the responsibility for the activities and safety of your minor child. Among these
responsibilities are to make sure that the scooter which your child is riding is properly fitted to
the child; that it is in good repair and in safe operating condition; that you and your child have
learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle and traffic laws, but
also the common sense rules of safe and responsible scooting. As a parent, you should read this
manual and go over all key points with your child before letting your child ride the scooter.
