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. A parent's decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child's maturity and ability.

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.

• Not for children under 8 YEARS of age. Use only under close adult supervision.
• Do not exceed 143 lb (65 kg) total weight on the Spark™ scooter. Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.
• Adults must assist children in the initial adjustment procedures to unfold scooter, adjust handlebar and steering height, and finally to fold scooter.
• Always wear safety equipment such as a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and shoes. Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep chinstrap securely buckled.
• Check and secure all fasteners before every ride and replace worn or broken parts immediately.
• For outdoor use only on solid, clean, dry, hardened surfaces. Always ride away from motor vehicles and pedestrians.
• Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes that may cause your scooter to suddenly stop.
• Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves and other debris. Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility.
• Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides.
  • Always obey all local traffic and scooter riding laws and regulations.
• Before riding, parents must review all warnings and instructions with each rider.
• Observe all other Spark™ scooter safety warnings and instructions as provided elsewhere in this manual.

WARNING: SPARKS CAN INDUCE FIRE

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or FIRE:

PARENTS and RIDERS: Make sure riders understand that sparks can start a fire. Keep sparks away from flammable or combustible substances. Use only under close adult supervision.

BE RESPONSIBLE: Safety is important. Parents must review the following warnings and instructions with each rider:

• For outdoor use only on solid, clean, dry hardened surfaces. Keep sparks away from substances that can catch fire, such as dry vegetation, paper, chemicals or gasoline. Sparks can induce fire.
• Do not use in any area prone to wildfires or posted by fire authorities as a Fire Hazard Zone.
• Never use your scooter to try to start a fire. Your Spark™ scooter emits localized sparks when the Spark Bar on a moving scooter comes in contact with hardened outdoor surfaces like asphalt or concrete. Be responsible.
• Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.
• Keep sparks away from eyes, hair, exposed skin and clothing. Sparks can burn.
• Spark Bar and brake get hot during use. Do not touch after use.

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.

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.

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, including laws or regulations designating High Fire Hazard areas.

WARNING: Batteries (Spark 2.0 only)

• Lithium batteries included for lights - adult attention for changing and disposal.
• Batteries should only be 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 SUCH RISKS OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Remove contents from box. Remove the packing material used to protect the components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint and dents that may have occurred during shipping. Because your scooter is assembled and packed at the factory, there should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents.

WARNING:

DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR SCOOTER. Razor scooters have been built to certain Razor design specifications. The original equipment supplied at the time of sale was selected on the basis of its compatibility with the frame, fork and all other parts. Certain aftermarket products may not be compatible and will void the warranty.

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 shop.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, skaters, skate boards, electric products, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path and respect the rights and property of others.

Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.

USAGE

How to Ride

To activate the sparks place ball of foot on the Spark Bar and gradually apply pressure while riding. Only use enough pressure to cause sparking action.

Note:

• LED deck lights apply to Spark 2.0 only.
- Lighted wheels light up when wheels are in motion. (Spark 2.0, Spark DLX, and Spark ^+ only)

WARNING: Applying too pressure on the Spark Bar cause loss of control.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

□ 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: 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.
