Riding Tips and Safety Guidelines Recap (cont.)

• Do not wear loose clothing that can catch in the Tires and prevent proper steering.

• No passengers. The PT is for one rider. Do not ride double or carry any passengers. Do not carry a child

in your arms or in a child carrier while riding. Expectant mothers should not ride the PT.

• Do not exceed the maximum weight limit (rider and all cargo) speciﬁed in this Manual. If you exceed the

maximum weight limit, you are at greater risk of falling and injury, and damage to the PT could result.

Also, the rider's weight must not be less than the minimum rider weight limit speciﬁed in this Manual. If

you are below the minimum rider weight limit, you may not be able to ride safely because you cannot shift your weight far enough

back (behind the center line of the Wheels) to safely slow down and stop, especially when riding downhill. Riders

below the minimum weight limit might also fail to properly activate the PT's Rider Detect Sensors. For additional

information on weight limits, see "Operating Limits" (p. 14).

• Never ride on stairs or through revolving doors. Riding on stairs is extremely dangerous, as is riding on

escalators and through revolving doors.

• Do not step off a moving PT. Always come to a stop before stepping off.

• Do not ride in the dark. Do not ride the PT in low visibility conditions without a light. To ride safely, you must be able to clearly see

what is in front of you and you must be clearly visible to others.

• Be alert. As with any other transportation device, you must be mentally alert to safely ride a PT. Do not attempt to ride if you are ill

or if you cannot comply fully with the instructions and warnings in this Manual. Do not ride under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs.

Avoid distractions. Do not use a mobile phone, listen to headphones, or engage in any other activity that might distract you or

interfere with your ability to monitor your surroundings while riding.

• Be prepared to stop. Be especially careful when approaching or crossing intersections, driveways, corners, doorways, and other

areas where you may need to slow down or stop to avoid motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians.
