Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the
lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When
you apply the brake with the speed control on, the brake cut-off
switch will stop the motor.
Tires
Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear and replace as
needed. Regularly check the tire pressure and infl ate as needed.
If you get a fl at tire, the inner tube can be patched or a new tube
can be purchased from Razor or an authorized repair center.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames
are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb
or object and wreck, bend or break the frame. Get in the habit of
inspecting your product on a regular basis.
Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, cables,
fasteners, etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly.
There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose
parts or broken components. If the unit is damaged, do not ride.
Reference “Safety Warnings” on pages 1 and 2 of this
manual.
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety
helmet. Elbow pads, kneepads, pants and long sleeves are
recommended. Always wear closed toe shoes (lace-up with rubber
soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels,
motor and drive system. NEVER RIDE BAREFOOTED OR
IN SANDALS.
Laws and Regulations
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.
Insurance
Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily
provide coverage for electric product use. Check with your
insurance company for information regarding insurance.
WARNING:
Use ONLY with the recommended
charger. Batteries are only to be
charged under adult supervision.
The charger is not a toy. Always
disconnect the charger before
wiping down and/or cleaning the
Dirt Rocket with a damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the
Dirt Rocket should be regularly
examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts. In
the event of such damage, the Dirt
Rocket must not be charged until it
has been repaired or replaced.
Chargers have built-in overcharge
protection to prevent battery from
being overcharged.
Note: If the charger gets warm
during regular use, this is a normal
response and is no cause for
concern. If your charger does not get
warm during use, it does not mean
that it is not working properly.
