INTENDED USE –

The e-scooter, subject of this manual, is an ecological vehicle designed and built for transport of one person at a time.

THE IMPROPER USE OF THE E-SCOOTER MAKES THE USER THE ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE IN CASE OF DAMAGES TO HIMSELF AND/OR OTHER PEOPLE, PROPERTY OR ANIMALS.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Carefully read this instruction manual before the use of the e-scooter and store it with care for future uses.

• Before each use, check the mechanical integrity of the e-scooter. If anomalies, cracks or other signs of deterioration are encountered, do not use the e-scooter and have it checked by the retailer or by qualified and authorized personnel.

• A failure to respect what is indicated in this instruction manual exposes the use to the risk of falling or of running over other people or property with consequences which may also be serious.

• To prevent injuries, a few symbols are also present in the manual (described in paragraph “2”) and they are used to mark safety precautions. The warnings which accompany these symbols must be followed carefully

• The use of the e-scooter by people of an age included between 14 and 18 years includes the mandatory use of a homologated helmet which must be worn correctly (check the age limit provided for by the laws in the place of use). In any case, it is advised to ALWAYS use the helmet and other personal protective equipment such as knee pads, elbow guards and gloves. It is advised to wear flat footwear.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning  and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Possible repairs must be carried out ONLY by qualified and authorized personnel. Repairing the e-scooter by yourself could be dangerous !

• Before using the e-scooter, especially in crowded areas or on the road, it is advised to become familiar with it.

• Check that there are no regulations which prohibit the use of the e-scooter, respect the road signs.

• When you access public spaces, always respect the local regulations and laws.

• As well as with other vehicles, higher speeds require a larger braking distance. Sudden braking, especially in the presence of wet or nonhomogeneous surfaces (for instance in the presence of soil or sand) may result in slipping and/or falling.

• Pay attention and always maintain a safe distance between yourself and or other people or vehicles while driving; decelerate when you enter un- known areas.

• Respect pedestrians by always giving them priority.

  • Overtake on the left ONLY when possible.
  • When a pedestrian is approached from the front, remain on the right and decelerate. Avoid insecure pedestrians during their march.
  • When a pedestrian is approached from the back, get noticed using the bell located on the handlebars and decelerate up to normal march speed while overtaking; the e-scooter is highly silent, for this reason avoid scaring the pedestrians.

• When you access places not protected by law, respect the safety guide- lines described in this manual and drive carefully and prudently.

• In order to drive safely, it is necessary to be clearly visible to others and be able to clearly see what is in front of you; good visibility is the first safety condition.

• A few people must NOT drive the e-scooter:

  • Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Those who suffer from illnesses which put them at risk when they per- form a hard physical activity.
  • Anyone with balance problems or motor difficulties which may inter- fere with his capacity to maintain balance.
  • Anyone with a weights which exceeds the indicated limits (see Specifications).
  • Pregnant women.

• Do not lend the e-scooter to someone who has not been trained on its use and who does not wear appropriate protective equipment.

• Avoid using the e-scooter under the rain.

• Decelerate on potholed roads, pavements or on other particular and non-homogeneous road surfaces. On highly potholed roads it is advises to maintain low speed (between 5 and 10 km/h maximum). Remaining flexible on your knees will help to adapt to potholed roads.

• Pay attention to doors or other obstacles at a height

• Do not accelerate when driving downhill

• Do not accelerate while walking next to the vehicle

• Pay attention to possible obstacles which may be encountered during the use of the e-scooter.

• ALWAYS drive in a calm and focused manner, do not do stunts with the e-scooter.

• It is prohibited to position yourself and concentrate the load on the rear mudguard.

• Do not touch the disc brake; burning hazard !

• Do not let the handlebars go while driving; grasp the grips firmly.

• Do not jump over obstacles and do not climb stairs with the e-scooter; there is the risk of accidents and damages to the vehicle.

• The e-scooter is equipped with a kickstand; while parking, make sure the e-scooter is stable and that it cannot fall accidentally. It may get damaged or cause damages to people or property.

• Optimal operating temperature of the e-scooter: -10°C/+40°C

• Storage temperature of the e-scooter: -20°C/+45°C

WARNINGS FOR USE OF THE BATTERY

• Do not use the e-scooter if the battery is in one of the following conditions:

  • The battery is damaged.
  • The battery emits abnormal odor and/or heat.
  • Liquid comes out from the battery.

• Do not start the e-scooter when the battery is charging.

• If the battery charge marks show a red light, it is advised to decelerate and stop driving.

• ONLY use the battery charger supplied with the e-scooter to charge the battery; a different battery charger may damage it irreparably or cause fire.

• Do not touch the battery contacts and do not open the battery compartment. Do not place metallic objects in contact with the battery: that may cause short circuits and damage the battery or even injure, also seriously, the user.

• In case of dismantling of the e-scooter or replacement of the battery, do not dispose of the latter with household waste. Follow the local environmental standards on recycling.

• Do not use batteries of a model different from the original one; the use of a different battery charge may damaged the device or cause fire.

• Charging the battery after each use of the e-scooter will extend its resistance and performance.

• Do not use the battery in extreme environments (-20°C; +50°C), this may cause malfunctions or even risk of fire.

• Do not expose the battery to sun for too long (for instance, in the boot of the car) and do not throw it in fire, this may cause an explosion.

• It is necessary to completely charge the battery each month to avoid damaging it. If that does not happen, the battery enters a self-protection status and cannot be charged. In this case, contact your retailer.

• Excessively long periods of time between one charge and the next one may damage the battery irreversibly.

• Proceed with the charge of the battery in dry environments, away from combustibles and flammable elements.

• Battery replacement must ONLY be carried out by authorized repairers.

• Do not let children or animals touch the battery or the battery charger during charge phase.

• Battery charge temperature: +10°C/+40°C.

• When the battery charger is connected to the e-scooter, all the electric functions and the motor are disabled to avoid overheating or damages to the components.

• The external flexible cable or cord of this transformer cannot be replaced if damaged; if the cord is damaged, the transformer shall be scrapped.

• The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.
  The appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains when removing the battery.

• The battery is to be disposed of safely

For the purposes of recharging the battery, ONLY use the detachable supply unit (GJS150-4200200) provided with this appliance.
Any tampering or modification of the e-scooter relieves the manufacturer and/or the retailer from allowability and makes  the user himself the only one responsible towards the competent bodies.

In case of problems on the appliance, please contact the authorized assistance centers. Avoid trying to repair the appliance by yourself. Any repair intervention on the appliance carried out by unauthorized personnel automatically invalidates warranty even if its duration has not come to an end.
