SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Riding a RipStik Rush does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, a RipStik Rush has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, the RipStik Rush can and is intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose control
or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children, and adults responsible for supervising them, must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or die even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY: Because products, like the RipStik Rush, 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 CHILD, 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 child, and different age recommendations are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards.

WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 9 OR HEAVIER THAN 143 LB (65 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 143 lb (65 kg) – including backpacks and other items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the RipStik Rush. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit
or maintain control of the RipStik Rush. 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 9 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 9 years or older is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 9 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably on the RipStik Rush 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 RipStik Rush. Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating. 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 the use of any ride-on product, 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 such products.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 143 lb (65 kg). Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the RipStik Rush.

CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS

Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the wheels are free of flat spots from wear. The product 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.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS

Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the RipStik Rush may be used. Keep safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times. Only use where allowed and with caution.
Do not activate the remote unless you are on the RipStik Rush and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The RipStik Rush must be moving at least 3 mph (5 km/h) with the lever on the remote in the “Go” position before the motor will engage. To push/kick start the RipStik Rush before engaging motor, it is recommended that the rider place forward foot on front deck and push start using rear foot (see page 7). The normal powered top speed of this product will be approximately 10 mph (16 km/h), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel 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. The RipStik Rush is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as pavement or level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride your product in mud, ice, puddles or water. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks. The RipStik Rush is not made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions. Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the product. Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited. Never use near steps or swimming pools. Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts or wheels while the motor is engaged. Do not touch electric motor when in use or immediately after riding. Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding. Never hitch a ride with a vehicle. Do not ride your product in wet or icy weather and never immerse in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of a RipStik Rush indoors.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads, kneepads and wrist guards. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. 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 and motor. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.

USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the product should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the product must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.
Use only with the recommended charger. Use caution when charging. The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult. Do not operate charger near flammable materials. Unplug charger and disconnect from product when not in use. Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your product with damp cloth.

Keep new and used batteries away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. Batteries included for remote – adult attention for installing, changing and disposal. Batteries should only be installed or replaced by an adult. Loose batteries could present a choking hazard and should be kept away from small children. Dispose of batteries properly.

FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.

USAGE

How to Ride

Do not activate the remote unless you are on the RipStik Rush and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. Turn power button to the “ON” position for both the RipStik Rush and the remote. Place one foot on the front deck plate and with the other foot, push (kick start) RipStik Rush while holding the lever on the remote in the “GO” position. Place other foot on rear deck plate once motor has engaged.

How to Stop

The RipStik Rush, like regular RipStiks or skateboards does not have a conventional “brake”, however the RipStik Rush can coast to a stop or can use “dynamic motor braking” to slow more quickly.

1. While riding, release the remote lever and it will return to the “NEUTRAL” position. The product will slow to a stop with motor resistance.
2. To slow more rapidly to a stop, move the remote lever down to the “STOP” position and hold. This will engage dynamic motor braking and the product will slow down more quickly.

• Note: Stepping off the product also works to stop. Releasing the remote lever will cut power to the motor.
• Note: RipStik Rush must be moving at least 3 mph (5 km/h), with lever on remote in GO position, for motor to engage.
• Note: As an additional safety feature, the RipStik Rush is designed to cut power to the motor when the lever on the remote is in the “STOP” or neutral position.
• Note: Motor will re-engage, (without having to kick start), if the remote is in the “GO” position before RipStik Rush has slowed down to under 3 mph (5 km/h).
• Note: Practice riding only in wide open areas clear from curbs, parking blocks and other obstacles. Impacting the wheels against any hard surface can damage the wheels. Wheels are not covered under the limited warranty.
