Dynacraft BALANCE CYCLE Owner's Manual page 4

The Balance Cycle is intended to allow children to learn at their own pace
while feeling safe that they are not going to fall. Have them start by sitting
on the Balance Cycle and pushing with their feet. The action is like walking
and they will progress as they become comfortable. Your responsibility is to
set limits on speed and appropriate location for play. Be aware that young
children often can master riding, and still will lose their balance and fall while
at play. So part of your supervision is that they not leave the Balance Cycle or
other toys around the ground where they play as they may fall on them.
It is also your responsibility to maintain the Balance Cycle after correctly
assembling it. Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards
and correct riding behavior before they take off on their Balance Cycle! Please
explain to them as often as necessary:
• Always wear a helmet and other safety equipment.
• Always keep the chin strap on the helmet securely buckled.
• Observe the age and weight limitations on the cover of this manual.
• Never have more than one rider and never try to tow anything.
• Do not ride at night.
• Do not ride in wet weather.
• Obey all local laws about cycling.
• Do not ride near swimming pools, ditches or drop offs.
• Do not ride if parts are broken or worn until fixed or replaced by your parent.
• Always ride on smooth surfaces or gentle slopes and avoid too much speed.
• Do not ride on streets, around cars, on hills, barefoot, or in skateboard or
vehicle traffic.
• Speed is a danger, avoid excessive speed going down hill; also avoid stunts,
jumps and bumps.
• Avoid sharp turns, bumps, drainage grates, trick stages, ramps, half pipes,
skateboard parks, or empty swimming pools.
