SAFETY WARNINGS

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS: This manual contains important information. For your child's safety, it is your responsibility to review this information with your child and make sure that your child understands all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times. Razor USA recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with younger riders, and that you are required to inspect and maintain your child's scooter to ensure their safety.

GENERAL WARNING: Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity. Scooters can, and are intended to move and it is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING PRODUCT, USING A SCOOTER CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

• Always wear safety equipment, such as helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the chinstrap securely buckled.
  • Always wear shoes.
• Ride on smooth, paved surfaces away from motor vehicles.
• Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Scooter may suddenly stop.
• Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, and other debris. Wet weather impairs traction, braking, and visibility.
• Do not ride at night.
• Brake will get hot from continuous use. Do not touch after braking.
• Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides.
• Adults must assist children in the initial assembly and/or adjustment procedures to unfold scooter, adjust handlebar and steering to height, and finally to fold scooter.
• Obey all local traffic and scootering laws and regulations.
• Watch out for pedestrians.
• Do not exceed weight limit indicated on the scooter package.

• 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.
• Kick scooters are generally not recommended for children under age five (5). A4 scooters are for children ages six (6) and above. Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times.
• Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS

Direct parental supervision is required. Scooters are meant to be used only in controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not on public streets. Do not allow your child to ride a scooter in any areas where vehicle traffic is present. Child must maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Never allow more than one child at a time to ride a scooter. Never use near steps, sloped driveways, hills, roadways, alleys or swimming pool areas. Keep fingers and other body parts away from the product when folding or unfolding. Adults must not allow children to assist in assembling and/or folding or unfolding the scooter.

Do not ride a scooter in wet weather. Scooters are intended for use on solid, flat, clean and dry surfaces, such as pavement or level ground without loose debris, such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride a scooter in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of a scooter indoors. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE

Always ensure child is wearing proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A child should always wear shoes and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels. Never ride barefooted or in sandals. Knee pads and elbow pads are recommended.

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.

WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly inspecting and maintaining your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your scooter before riding and regularly maintain it. Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. Replace worn or broken parts immediately.

WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTER USE.

Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor scooter legally. In many states and local areas scooter riders are required BY LAW to wear a helmet. Check local laws and regulations regarding laws governing helmet use and scooter operation in your area.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

Loose Parts

Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. Make sure the collar clamp, quick release lever, and handlebar spring buttons are locked properly in place before riding.

Replacement Parts

Replace worn or broken parts immediately. Call 1-866-467-2967 for parts or visit www.razor.com.

Safety Gear

Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet, elbow pads and kneepads. Always wear shoes (lace-up with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.

Be Careful!

You will see people on TV and maybe even people you know doing tricks and stunts. These are people who have been practicing on scooters for a very long time. Don't try something until you are ready. Avoid steep inclines and don't ride too fast — you can lose control and fall. Skateboard parks are not designed for scooters. Never ride in traffic or on the street and watch your surroundings for pedestrians, bikers, boarders and skaters.

Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.

USAGE

How to Ride

Place one foot on the baseboard, push forward with the other foot. Steer with both hands on the handlebars. For enhanced cornering, lean slightly into the direction of the turn. For controlled stops, apply the brake by stepping on the rear brake. Razor recommends that you practice applying the brake at various speeds and in an open area free from obstructions before riding your scooter around others.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

☐ Baseboard/Steering Column Adjusting Screw (A4 ONLY)

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with an arrow indicating a specific part (no text or symbols present)

Using a 3 mm Allen wrench and with the scooter in the upright and locked position, adjust the set screw at the baseboard until there is no free-play between the baseboard and the steering column. Be careful not to over-tighten this screw as it need only be snug against the steering column. Verify the adjustment by releasing the steering column from the locked position and folding the scooter. The joint lever should not bind and the folding movement should be smooth. The spring-loaded mechanism should automatically lock and be fully seated in the upright position.

□ Wheels and Bearings

Under normal circumstances and conditions, Razor wheels and wheel bearings are maintenance free. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to periodically inspect the wheels for wear and tear, the axle for proper tightness, and bearings for side-to-side play, and loose parts. When a wheel or wheel bearing develops play, this is an indication of excess wear and replacement is necessary. Replace immediately with only genuine Razor wheels. Worn wheels/bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the Razor Warranty. Wheels other than genuine Razor wheels may not be compatible with your Razor scooter. The use of anything other than genuine Razor replacement parts may affect your safety and will void your warranty.

□ Cleaning Your Scooter

Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the plastic components or soften the decals or decal adhesive.

WARNING:

Keep fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or unfolding the scooter.

WARNING: Wheelies and other stunt-type riding reduces your ability to maneuver and control your scooter. Take the necessary precautions, such as wearing appropriate protective gear and practice in a area safe for stunt riding and free from obstructions.
