The reason for the weight limitation: 1. guarantee the safety of the operator; 2. decrease the damage of overloading.

CHAPTER 2 OPERATING THE BALANCE SCOOTER

2.1.Calibration
If your hoverboard seems to pull to the left or right, you may need to recalibrate its sensors. Step as below:
Step 1: Shut down/level the scooter
Step 2: Press the Power button for more than 10 seconds until you see the light flashing 5 times.
Step 3: Shut down the scooter again.

NOTE:
Built-in Self-Balance function, it is easy for driving.
2.2.Operating principal
– The hoverboard uses Dynamic equilibrium, using an internal gyroscope and acceleration sensors. The status of the hoverboard is controlled by the center of gravity. It is adjusted by a motor, which is controlled by the servo control system. When you lean forward, it will sense your actions accelerate. When you need to turn, slow it down and move your foot forwards or backward then the center-of-gravity of the body moves left or right therefore the hoverboard can sense moving left or right.
– The hoverboard has an inertial dynamic stabilization system, so it can keep anterior-posterior balance but cannot guarantee the left and right. So when turning, the scooter needs to be operated slowly, otherwise, you may be injured.

2.3.Learn how to use it
Step 1: Press the power button to turn on the hoverboard.
Step 2: Put the hoverboard on flat ground and make sure all safety measures are taken. Put one foot on the pad that will trigger the pedal switch to turn on the operation indicator, after the system enters the self-balancing mode, put the other foot on the pad.
Step 3: Take control of the hoverboard forwards or backward, do remember the movement of your body should not be abrupt.

NOTE:
If you are not in a balanced condition when you trigger the footswitch, the buzzer will alarm, and the warning LED will light. The system is not in a self-balanced condition. Without a balanced condition, you should not operate the hoverboard. Then you need to calibrate the sensors, see point
2.2. Step 4: Control the left and right direction of the hoverboard.
Step 5: Before you get off, make sure that the hoverboard is still in balanced condition and stopped, then step off one foot, then the other foot.
WARNING!
You should never turn violently when driving fast.
You should never ride sideways or turn on a slope. It will lead to a fall and injury.

2.4.Always react to alarms
– Hoverboard will not operate in the following situations:
– During operation, if the system runs an error, the hoverboard will prompt operators in different ways such as prohibit riding, alarm indicator lights, and buzzer alarm beeps intermittently the system cannot enter self-balancing mode.
– When stepping on the hoverboard the platform moves forwards or backward more than 10 degrees, and the unit will not operate.
– The voltage of the battery is too low.
– During charging.
– During operation, the platform turns upside down will prohibit operation.
– Over speeding.
– The battery is not charged enough.
– Tire stall, two seconds later the scooter enters power-off mode.
– The battery voltage is lower than the protection value, 15 seconds later the hoverboard enters into power off mode.
– Continuing large current discharge (such as a long-time climbing a very steep slope)
WARNING!

When the hoverboard enters the shutdown state (when the battery is low), the system will lock down the machine automatically. It can be unlocked when you press the power button. When the battery has been depleted or the system gives out information with safety shutdown, please do not continue to drive the hoverboard, otherwise, the overboard cannot balance for the lack of battery.
