WARNING

Not for children under age 8.
This product is sport/transport equipment.
Always wear protective gear – helmet, elbow, knee and wrist guards.
Like using any other moving product, riding a caster board can be a dangerous activity and may result in injury or death even when used with proper safety precautions.
Ride in places that allow you to improve your skills, not in traffic or on roads, where serious accidents can happen. Watch your surroundings for pedestrians, and bike, skateboard and scooter riders. Use in areas free from hazards, such as poles, hydrants, parked cars and traffic.
Use caster board on smooth, dry, level ground. Don’t ride on loose debris (such as rocks, gravel or sand), speed humps or anything else that could cause your wheels to stop.
Learn slowly, including tricks. If you start to lose balance, don’t wait until you fall, step off and start again. Ride on flat ground.
Learn to fall (by rolling if possible) without the caster board.
Learn with a friend or parent to help.
Before you jump off your caster board, watch where it may go so it does not injure someone.
This product was manufactured for performance and durability. Trick riding can, over time, stress or damage any product.
Risk of injury increases as degree of trick difficulty and product stress increases.
Rider assumes all risk associated with trick riding.
Check local laws regarding where and how you may use your product.
You may see people in videos, or people you know, doing tricks on a caster board. These people have been practicing a long time and accept the risks of trick riding. Do not assume you can try tricks without great risk.
Use only authorised Razor replacement wheels.
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surface. Do not use alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners, as they may damage the plastic components.
Inspect wheels and general condition of your caster board before riding.
Under normal circumstances and conditions, the caster board wheels and bearings are maintenance free.
Regularly check that the various screwed parts are tight, particularly the wheel axles, because the self-tightening screws or other attachments may lose their effectiveness.
Before use, check if all connecting elements are secure.
Check caster board before use, and replace if you find any cracks.
The caster board parts do not require lubrication.
No modifications shall be made that can impair safety.
Anytime you remove the wheel axle, apply a small dot of Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242® (or compatible type thread glue) to the axle thread prior to reassembly. Under normal circumstances and when properly tightened, the axle will not come loose. The use of thread adhesive is recommended only as a precaution.

How to Learn to Ride a Caster Board

Watch the “RipSurf Ride Guide“ video on www.razor.com.
When learning, ask a friend to help. Put your hand on your friend’s shoulder and have them do the same to you for stability. If you don’t have a friend available, you can try holding onto a fence.
Step onto the front of the caster board, level the deck out, and check to make sure your foot feels secure and balanced. Your foot should go straight across the deck (perpendicular to the direction of travel).
When your front foot feels balanced, push off (holding onto your friend) and put your back foot on. If you don’t feel balanced and secure, step off and start again.
Once balanced, start moving your feet forward and backward in small motions. Slowly increase the size of the motions, which will increase your speed. Speed = stability.
To turn, push down with the front foot in the direction you want to go. Lean your back foot in the opposite direction as your front foot to maintain your balance and control the turn.
To stop, simply step off.
