INTRODUCTION
This manual will help you understand, set up and safely use the Razor® Hovertrax™ Kart. It is important that you adhere to all safety warnings and cautions that appear throughout and that you use good judgment when riding, so keep reading!
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Whenever you ride the Hovertrax Kart you risk serious injury or death from collisions, falls or loss of control. To ride safely, YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL.
WARNING: Riding any product can be a hazardous activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other ride-on products, the Razor Hovertrax Kart can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: Failure to read and understand “How to Ride” section of this manual (page 7) increases risk of injury due to falls or other incidents.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 8 OR HEAVIER THAN 176 LB (80 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 176 lb (80 kg) – including backpacks and other items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the Razor Hovertrax Kart. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Razor Hovertrax Kart. Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 8 not be permitted to use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight or height – it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well as physical size. The recommended rider age of 8 years or older is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 8 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably on the Razor Hovertrax Kart should not attempt to ride it, but a parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to ride the Razor Hovertrax Kart.
Because products, like the Razor Hovertrax Kart, can and do present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A RIDER, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of rider, and recommendations are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a rider to cope with the hazards.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions, and to be able to understand the hazards inherent in a product’s use, should not use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate this product.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN RAZOR HOVERTRAX KART
WARNING: Always inspect the Razor Hovertrax Kart prior to use. Properly inspecting and maintaining your product can reduce the risk of injury. Before use, check to confirm that any and all guards or covers are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the parts are functioning properly, that the wheel is not damaged or worn excessively. The Razor Hovertrax Kart should be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, using only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration. Replace worn or broken parts immediately. WARNING: Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor Hovertrax Kart legally. Follow all applicable laws for vehicles and pedestrians.
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUED USE: AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL USERS
Periodically review this information and make sure that you understand all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. Do not let others ride the Razor Hovertrax Kart until they have read this manual. Any type of wheeled activity can be hazardous. Wheels can, and are intended to move and it is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off. In such situations serious injury or death could occur. Always be aware of the activity around you. Use the Razor Hovertrax Kart in areas free from fixed or moving hazards. Watch your surroundings for pedestrians, animals and riders of other wheeled devices.
WARNING: Only use the Razor Hovertrax Kart indoors or on completely smooth surfaces. Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces, which could result in a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall. See the section on Terrain (page 8) for more guidelines.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel(s) or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the product.
Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding. Never hitch a ride with another product.
NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your Razor Hovertrax Kart. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.
Do not ride the Razor Hovertrax Kart in wet or icy weather.
Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks. Do not ride this product in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with aggressive riding activities.
WARNING: Never operate any moving product, including the Razor Hovertrax Kart, while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled). A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. Elbow pads, kneepads, wrist guards, a long- sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.

RIDING TIPS

- Be alert. Scan both far ahead and in front of you – your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
- Start at a slow and comfortable pace. Never aggressively accelerate or lunge forward.
- Be careful and considerate of others.
- Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you.
- Always be prepared to stop.
- Respect pedestrians by always yielding the right of way.
- Avoid startling pedestrians. When approaching from behind, announce yourself and slow down to walking speed when passing. Pass on the left whenever possible. When approaching a pedestrian from the front, stay to the right and slow down.
TERRAIN AND AVOIDING HAZARDS, SLIPS AND TRIPS
The Hovertrax Kart is intended for indoors or use on smooth, flat surfaces. However, to prevent loss of traction, you must always be careful when riding and learn to identify and avoid slippery and wet surfaces, loose materials, slopes, potholes and other obstacles.
Stop and step out of the Hovertrax Kart over unsafe surfaces or terrain.
The Hovertrax Kart wheels must be able to grip the ground. Slips occur when the Hovertrax Kart loses traction, potentially causing loss of control and a fall. Abrupt maneuvers and riding over slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials may cause the Hovertrax Kart to lose traction.
- Keep alert.
- Avoid riding over any surface where the undercarriage may strike an object.
- Use caution when riding over any change in terrain.
