νDisconnect your Boxster’s batteries if you will not be using the PMV for more than 48 hours.

νBattery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time

(rain, snow, mist, or washing the PMV). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a PMV that has been exposed to moisture until it

has dried thoroughly.

Do not operate or store the PMV where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on an outside car/van lift). Attempting to operate the PMV in such conditions can damage the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.

Do not operate a PMV 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 PMV.

Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. This will damage the battery and may cause personal injury.

Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
