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 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. 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 super- vision.
•Do not exceed 143lbs. (65 kgs.) 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 procedured 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.

•For outdoor use only on solid, clean, dry, hardened surfaced. 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.

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.
•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.
•Observe all other Spark™ scooter safety warnings and instructions as provided elsewhere in this manual.
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.
