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. 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 insure their safety.
NOTE: The age recommendation for the Graffiti™ scooter is higher than that of a “basic” scooter because using the chalk device when riding may be more complicated. Make sure your child is ready!
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.
•Do not allow children under age six (6) to use the scooter. Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times.
•Always pay attention to where you are going; do not allow use of the chalk marking device to distract you from safe riding practices.
•Always wear safety equipment such as helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the chin- strap 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 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 143 pounds (65 kilograms) total weight on the Graffiti ™ scooter.
•Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.
•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.

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 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.
When toggling the chalking mechanism from the OFF to ON position, avoid sustained downward pressure against the lever mechanism. Sustained downward pressure can cause the springs to rub directly on the ground. Sustained rubbing (20+ minutes) will wear down the springs which could cause the springs to break.
CLEAN-UP AND CARE RELATED TO CHALK

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, never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels.
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.
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.
