GYROCOPTERS SELF BALA\CING HOVERBOARD
USER MANUAL

Before You Begin

Before You Begin
Before learning to ride your hoverboard, you must read and follow all instructions and warnings in this user manual. It is important that you follow all safety warnings and cautions that appear throughout the user manual and that you use good judgment when you ride your hoverboard.
The Risk of Injury
The hoverboard is a self-balancing, personal hoverboard that uses balancing technology. Balancing technology cannot prevent injury if you do not ride the hoveroard safely. Whenever you ride the hoverboard, it may result in serious injury or death from loss of control, collisions, and fails. To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all instructions and warnings in the user manual.

Disposal and Storage Disposal of according to local laws.
Helmet Safety!
Always wear a properly fitted helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards when you ride your hoverboard

Riding Your Hoverboard

Before riding, make sure your hoverboard is fully assembled and charged, and inspect your hoverboard before each use. Do not ride if any part is loose or damaged. The hoverboard is highly maneuverable and allows you to easily navigate around obstacles. However, to prevent the loss of traction, you must always be careful when riding and learn to identify and avoid unsafe surfaces. Slippery, icy, or wet surfaces, loose materials (sand/gravel), steep slopes, and obstacles might affect the hoverboard’s performance. Familiarize yourself with the indicator lights that may be displayed on the hoverboard.
Step 1. Power ON the hoverboard by pressing the power button, and make sure the Battery Status Indicator light is on.

NOTE The hoverboard comes with the No-Fall Technology mode turned on. This feature keeps the board upright whether you are standing on it or not. To turn off this feature, make sure the hoverboard is off. Now double-click the power button when turning it on (tap twice in quick succession). You will hear the normal power-on beep tone, followed by a longer beep tone. The No-Fall Technology mode is now turned off.
Step 2: Getting on the Hoverboard

1. Place one foot on the foot mat, keeping your weight on the foot that’s still on the ground to prevent unwanted movements from the hoverboard, making it difficult to step on.
2. When ready, shift your weight to the foot placed on the hoverboard, stepping on with your second foot quickly and evenly.
3. Once on, find your center of gravity by trying to stand on the hoverboard as if you were standing on the ground. On average it takes 3-5 mins to get comfortable standing on the hoverboard before getting into movements. Having a spotter will help you feel more secure.

Step 3: Moving forward and backward

1. Keep Hoverboard still by remaining level when standing on it.
2. SLIGHTLY lean your body forward or backward to enable the hoverboard to move forward or backward respectively.

NOTE: When the hoverboard is unable to achieve a balanced position, an alarm will sound and trigger the Warning Indicator light. The hoverboard will return to a balanced position automatically. During this process, you should not step or ride the hoverboard.

• Body leaning should be done in small increments. Only small leaning angles are needed to drive the hoverboard forward or backward.
• Leaning forward or backward too much can affect riding safety.

• Do not turn while in high speeds to avoid dangerous situations.
• The hoverboard balances front to back but not side-to-side. Avoid riding across steep slopes. 2

Step 4: Steering the Hoverboard

Step 5: Getting off the Hoverboard
Make sure the hoverboard is completely stopped and stable before stepping off. Step off the hoverboard one foot at a time.

Safety Alerts

While operating, the hoverboard can alert users if there are any irregularities in the system. If the hoverboard detects a fault in any of its redundant systems or the batteries are depleted beyond the limit, it automatically slows down the motors. Flashes warning indicator light emits a warning tone and disables self-balancing mode.
Here are some reasons that will trigger the Warning Indicator Light:
— Irregular platform angle
— Low Battery Voltage
— Plugged in and Charging
— Platform distortion while riding (System Shutdown)
— Speed Limited reached
— Platform angle is greater than 35 degrees, (System Shutdown)
— Wheels get stuck
— Electrical Current Surge

• Risk of Fire, No User Serviceable Parts
• Do not get back on the hoverboard until the condition that caused the warning alert has been identified and corrected.
• Never restart and ride your hoverboard after it has indicated an empty Battery condition or shut down due to low Battery. The hoverboard may not have enough power to keep you balanced. If you restart and continue riding, you risk failing. Also, you risk damaging your batteries, resulting in reduced battery life and capacity.

Driving Safely
