USING DOC LONGBOARD

DOC LONGBOARD is a self-balancing electric skateboard.

Easy to use and entertaining, but most importantly it is environmentally friendly.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

DOC LONGBOARD uses advanced technology to maintain balance.

Thanks to a gyroscope, an accelerometer and an algorithm for their combined use, DOC LONGBOARD offers an impression of "floating" on the surface.

DOC LONGBOARD can reach a maximum speed of approximately 30 kilometres an hour, WHEN GOING ROUND CURVES SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY TO AVOID BEING THROWN OFF THE BOARD BY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.

FIRST STEPS

Switch on DOC LONGBOARD and the remote control.

Put one foot on and check your are properly balanced on the SKATE, then stand with both feet. Start the SKATE using the control stick.

DOC LONGBOARD is a lot more sensitive in Speed mode.

• Move the control stick gradually.
  Always keeps your legs apart on the board.
  Try to keep your body's barycentre as low as possible.
  Bend forwards in the acceleration phase.
• Bend backwards when braking.
• Turning on DOC LONBOARD is like turning on a traditional skateboard.

SPEED LIMITS

DOC LONGBOARD lets you reach high speeds.

Drive intelligently and safely to avoid injuring yourself and others.

SLOWING AND BRAKING

When the command stick is released it automatically returns to neutral position and the drive wheels will no longer have any drive - they will move by inertia.

If the stick is moved into the opposite position the wheels will block immediately.

ATTENTION: THE BRAKING EFFECT ONLY ACTS ON THE DRIVE WHEELS.

BEAR THIS IN MIND DURING USE.

FEASIBLE DISTANCE

The maximum distance DOC LONBOARD can cover depends on a number of factors:

Topography: the feasible distance on smooth, flat roads increases, whereas it decreases if moving uphill.
Weight: the user's weight will influence the feasible distance.
- Temperature of use: cold temperatures decrease the battery's efficiency.
- Maintenance: if DOC LONGBOARD is charged correctly the duration of the battery will increase considerably.
- Speed and driving style: driving at a moderate, constant speed increases the feasible distance. Stopping, starting, accelerating and decelerating frequently decrease duration.

BATTERY

CHARGELEVEL

DOC LONGBOARD is equipped with status LED visible on the battery.

A battery with low charge level causes incorrect driving, with the risk of damaging the drive wheels, shortening the battery's life and, most importantly, there is the risk of falling.

BATTERY CHARGING

To charge the battery, only use the charger supplied with DOC LONGBOARD.

• Remove the cover cap and insert the plug.
• Connect the charger to the electrical mains.

• Stop charging when the LED turns green and close the power port.

• RED: charging

• GREEN: charge cycle completed

BATTERY MANAGEMENT AND CHARGE

Charge time: approx. 150-210 minutes.
Make sure DOC LONGBOARD is OFF when charging.

• Check the entry connector is not dirty or wet.
• Insert the power cord in the DOC LONGBOARD power port and insert the other end in an electrical socket.
  Only use the certified DOC LONGBOARD charger.
• Do not deform, alter or remove the battery.
• Do not charge or leave the battery near heat sources.
• Avoid connecting the + and - poles with metallic objects.
• Avoid subjecting the battery to violent hits such as throws or falls.
• Charge the battery at room temperature.
• Do not charge the battery in very humid areas.
• Do not use the charger if the cables or connectors are damaged.
• Please charge and store the battery in compliance with local laws and regulations. If not, the battery may be damaged.

WARNING FOR USE AND SAFETY

In order to reduce any type of risk, we recommend you carefully heed the following warnings. Use DOC LONGBOARD sensibly and responsibly.

DOC LONGBOARD is a hi-tech transport vehicle, but its incorrect and inappropriate use can cause injuries.

• Always wear shoes, a helmet and appropriate safety equipment such as knee pads, elbow pads and wrist bands. Using a firmly buckled skate helmet that provides cranial protection is recommended.
• Do not use without proper training; please read the manual before use. Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehicle and fall.
• Use by minors under 16 years of age is prohibited. Adult supervision is required for use by minors under 16.
  Pregnant women and people with disabilities should not use this vehicle.
• Do not use DOC LONGBOARD under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances that could alter the user's reflexes.
• Do not transport objects during use.
• Pay attention to surrounding objects when driving. Keeping a good view of the space used is essential to maintaining control.
• When driving, make sure that both feet are correctly placed on the board.
  We recommend wearing comfortable clothes during use.
• DOC LONGBOARD was designed to transport a single individual. Use by several individuals simultaneously is prohibited.
  We recommend you do not suddenly or abruptly accelerate or stop the vehicle; these behaviours could cause you to lose control.
• Check DOC LONGBOARD before use.
• Perform maintenance after use.
• Do not use in dark or dimly lit areas.
  Make sure driving speed always permits safe stopping at any time and in any situation.
  We recommend you maintain a suitable safety distance from other vehicles when driving.
  Use with ice or snow, as well as on rocks, branches or other types of vegetation or with other objects on the ground that could jeopardise appropriate vehicle control is prohibited.
  Use in flammable environments is strictly prohibited.
  Do not climb on or off at high speed, on terrains that are uneven or with very steep slopes.
• Do not perform tricks, jumps or other hazardous manoeuvres.
  Do not rest any object on the board except your feet.
• Do not keep fingers near moving parts to avoid accidents.

EN

• Do not place metal or sharp objects on the board.
• Do not use thinners or solvents to clean push scooter parts.
• Do not clean DOC LONGBOARD with a pressure cleaning or by submerging it in water; use a damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
• Do not puncture or remove any DOC LONGBOARD plastic part.
• Jumping on DOC LONGBOARD could be dangerous.
  Use in areas that allow to increase skill with the vehicle, not on paving or roads where users of skate boards or other people have had severe accidents.
• Learn everything slowly, including new tricks. When you lose your balance do not wait until you fall - get off and start again. Start on gentle slopes. Next, move to slopes where the speed allows you to get off the board without falling.
  The most serious injury resulting from skate board use are bone fractures, so first learn to fall (rolling if possible) without a skate board.
• Beginners with skate boards should try with a friend or parent. The majority of severe accidents occur in the first month of use.
  Before getting off DOC LONGBOARD check where you may end up because you may hit or injure people nearby.
• Join the local club and learn more. Prove you are a good user of the vehicle and pay attention to yourself and to other people.
  MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE USE.
• DOC LONGBOARD IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER ITS BOARD. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO AVOID DAMAGING THEM.

UPHILL

Do not use the skateboard uphill in the start-up phase, as this will reduce the battery life and may cause an explosion and accidents. The skateboard should therefore be activated on a level surface or on a more gentle incline before you continue uphill.
