A
child should always wear shoes, never ride barefooted o
r
in
sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of
the wheels.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE

WARNING:
ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING.
Properly inspecting and maintaining your scooter can
reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your scooter

you may use your stunt 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.
MAINTENANCE:
When used properly, the ball bearings are essentially
maintenance-free. The scooter has been equipped with
high-quality ball bearings.These ball bearings are only
to be cleaned externally. If they should be especially
soiled on the outside, they can be carefully cleaned
with a cotton swab at the time of replacing the
casters.
ln doing so, no dirt may get into the encased
area.
IMPORTANT:
The ball bearing could produce noises when riding over
a wet surface.
This is because moisture could cause the
lubricant to be washed out of
the ball bearing, which
would then run "dry"
- this would produce noise
when
riding. New ball bearings must then be inserted. No
modification other than to the manufacturer's
instructions shall be made.
