Do not operate or store your Hurricane where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and
Do not operate your Hurricane in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the performance and/or safety of your Scooter.
Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. This damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
