• Give pedestrians the right of way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend to pass them from behind.
• Your hoverboard is not equipped with reflectors. It is not recommended that you ride in conditions of low visibility.

Think about safety when you ride. You can prevent many accidents if you think about safety. Below is a helpful checklist for compact riders.

SAFE DRIVING
Carefully read the following safety precautions prior to operating your Hoverboard:

• When you are driving the Hoverboard, make sure to take all necessary safety measures, such as wearing a CPSC-certified helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and other protective gear.
• The Hoverboard should only be used for personal use and is not designed for commercial applications, or for use on public roads or pathways.
• You are prohibited from using the Hoverboard on any roadway. Check with your local authorities to confirm where you can safely ride. Obey all laws that apply.
• Do not allow children, the elderly, or pregnant women to ride the Hoverboard.
• Do not drive the Hoverboard under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not carry items when driving your Hoverboard.
• Be alert of obstacles in front of you. Legs should be relaxed, with your knees slightly bent to help you balance.
• Make sure your feet are always on the mats.
• The Hoverboard should only be driven by one person at a time.
• Do not exceed the maximum load.
• Keep a safe distance from others while driving your Hoverboard.
• Do not engage in distracting activities while driving your Hoverboard, such as talking on the phone, listening to headphones, etc.
• Do not drive on slippery surfaces
• Do not make reverse turns at high speeds.
• Do not drive in dark places.
• Do not drive over obstacles (twigs, litter, stones, etc.).
• Do not drive in narrow spaces.
• Avoid driving in unsafe locations (around flammable gas, steam, liquid, etc.).
• Check and secure all fasteners prior to driving.
• The Hoverboard is recommended for riders ages 15 and older.

LEARNING TO RIDE YOUR HOVERBOARD
Before using the hoverboard, be sure to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures. Make sure the hoverboard is fully charged before your initial use For charging Instructions, please follow the details under Charging. Stand directly behind your device and place one foot on the corresponding foot mat (as described in the diagram below). Keep your weight on the foot which is still on the ground, otherwise, the device may begin to move or vibrate, making it difficult to step on evenly with your other foot. When you are ready, shift your weight to the foot already placed on the device and step on with your second foot quickly and evenly (as described in the diagram below).
Find your center of gravity. If your weight is distributed correctly on the foot mats and your center of gravity is level, you should be able to stand on your device just as if you were standing on the ground. On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on your device and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will help you feel more secure. The hoverboard is an incredibly intuitive device; it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger unwanted movement. When you first begin using your device, the fastest way to move in your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will notice that just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that direction. Your center of gravity determines which direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish to move. To tum, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed. As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then dismount and carry your hoverboard to a safe operating surface.

Dismounting your device can be one of the easiest steps, yet when done incorrectly, may cause you to fall. To properly dismount, from a stopped position, lift one leg up and set your foot back down on the ground (STEPPING BACK). Then step off completely as described in the following diagram.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS
Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed here in the manual.
Maximum Weight: 220 lbs.
Minimum Weight: 44 lbs.
Maximum Speed: Up to 7 mph

OPERATING RANGE

The hoverboard can travel a distance of up to 6 miles on a fully charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.

• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your device.
• Speed and riding style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease the overall distance.

BALANCE & CALIBRATION
If your hoverboard is unbalanced, vibrating, or not turning properly, you can follow below steps to calibrate it.

• First, place the hoverboard on a flat, horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. The foot mats should be even with each other and not tilted forward or backward. Make sure the charger is not plugged in and the hoverboard is turned off.
• Press and hold the power button for a total of 15 seconds when you hear a beep sound. The hoverboard will turn on, lighting the battery indicator on the board.
• Turn the hoverboard off and then turn it back on. Calibration will now be completed.

SAFETY ALERTS

While riding your hoverboard, if there is a system error or illegal operation Performing the device will prompt the user in a variety of ways.
You will notice the system indicator will turn Red and you will hear a beep sound alerting you to take precautions and cease operation, which may make the device stop suddenly.
The following are common occurrences where you will hear the safety alerts. These notices should not be ignored, but appropriate action should be taken to correct any illegal operation, failure, or errors.

• Unsafe riding surfaces (uneven, too steep, unsafe, etc.).
• When you step on the device if the platform is tilted more than 10 degrees forward or backward.
• The battery voltage is too low.
• The device is still undercharging.
• During operation, the platform self initiates to tilt due to excess speed.
• Overheating, or motor temperature is too high.
• The device has been rocking back and forth for over 30 seconds.
• If the system enters. protection mode, the alarm indicator will light up and the board will vibrate. This typically occurs when the battery is about to run out of power and stop abruptly.
• If the platform is tilted forward or backward more than 10 degrees, the hoverboard will power off and stop suddenly, possibly causing the rider to lose balance or fall off.
• If any or both tires are blocked, the device will stop after 2 seconds.
• When the battery level has depleted below protection mode, the device engine will power off and stop after 15 seconds.
