NOTICE TO THE OWNER

APPLICATION
COMPLIANCE OF PRODUCTS
TO APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
Compano warrants its EAB conform to laws and norms applicable in the
Province of Quebec. For any purchase with a view to using the EAB outside
the Province of Quebec, the owner must personally verify the details of the
legislation effective in the country, state, territory or province concerned,
for the applicable norms, declarations, interdictions and other requirements
of said legislations. The liability of Compano shall not be engaged in case of
non-compliance with the legislation of the country, the state, the territory or
the province where the product is delivered and/or utilized, it is the owner’s
responsibility to check with local authorities.
The Compano Company Inc. or a Compano affiliate (thereafter referred to as
‘Compano’) notifies the owner or the user (thereafter known as ‘owner’) of an
Electrically-Assisted Bicycle (thereafter referred to as ‘EAB’) of the Compano dis-
claimer of responsibility and of the risks and danger of the EAB and of the means
to protect against them following the purchase of the EAB from an authorized
Compano dealer.
3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
Compano recommends that the owner operate the EAB and ride it on a
closed circuit course for a duration of between six (6) and twelve (12) hours,
depending on the user’s level of experience, to allow the Owner to become
familiar with the operation of the EAB, to develop sufficient knowledge and
ability and to become so familiar with it that the user will be provided with
a level of safety that is to be expected. EABs were not designed, developed,
distributed or sold for professional use or to be used commercially, nor to be
used for stunts, ramp acrobatics, jumps, aggressive riding or riding in excessi-
vely rigorous conditions such as: winter conditions (with the bike in contact
with ice, water, salt, sand and calcium) and tropical conditions, (contact with
sea salt or riding with heavy loads), or for any other similar activities.
Consequently, non-compliance with these instructions and recommendations
renders Compano warranties null and void and exonerates Compano from
any liability toward the owner.

INFORMATION REGARDING RISKS
AND DANGERS AND WAYS TO GUARD
AGAINST THEM
In order to minimize all risks and dangers from electrocution and to guard
against any fire, burn, damage, prejudice, injury or injury that could cause
death and that could result directly or indirectly from the battery of the EAB,
the general precautions regarding electrical devices are applicable.
The slightest electrical discharge can cause serious injuries and you must
read all the instructions with care. Without limiting the generality of the pre-
ceding, and in addition to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual, Compano
recommends that you never touch hot surfaces, use only the battery and the
original charger recommended by Compano, always use the specific charging
equipment to charge the battery, never expose the battery or the charger to
heat, never dismantle or modify the battery or the charger, do not expose the
battery or the charger to liquids, do not use a damaged battery or charger,
stop charging the battery if the charge is incomplete at the end of the theo-
retical charging time, stop use of the battery and charger if they emit an unu-
sual odour, become hotter than usual or if something seems abnormal, never
leave the battery and charger where they can be reached by children, and
here we urge that extreme vigilance is necessary in this regard, never touch
the battery or charger with wet hands, never turn on the battery or charger
if they have damaged cables or tie downs or if the battery or charger have
any kind of malfunction or have been damaged in any way, always take the
battery and charger back to the dealer for maintenance, examination, repair
or setting, always make sure to correctly connect the charger to the battery
and the charger only to alternating current of 110V A.C., do not use a battery
or charger if they are dusty, do not use the charger with other than the spe-
cified current, do personally check the battery and charger for any damage,
do not leave the battery and charger near an electrical heating appliance, a
gas or microwave appliance, do not touch the charger or the battery for too
long during battery charging, do not position the charger or the battery in an
unstable manner and do not cover the battery or the charger or hang any-
thing from them and never use the battery and charger for any use other than
the one for which they have been designed.

In order to minimize all risks and dangers and to guard against any damage,
prejudice, injury and injury that could cause death, Compano recommends to
the owner to ride carefully on bicycle paths and not on public roads.
Even if the local competent authorities allow riding on public roads, the
owner will do so at his or her risk and peril. In addition to the general rules
that apply to riding on bicycle paths or public roads, the Highway Safety
Code, L.R.Q. chap. C-24.2 contains special provisions for users of EAB and
these must be followed to protect against all risks and dangers that are
inherent to the use of an EAB.
The EAB must be checked periodically by your dealer as part of regular main-
tenance and to spot stress and/or potential failures including but without
limiting the generality of the preceding, cracks, deformations, corrosion, paint
chipping dents and for any other indications of potential problems, improper
use or abuse. These periodic inspections are proven essential safety measures
that can prevent accidents and injuries to the owner.
Negligence or non-compliance with these regulations can cause serious
injuries to the owner and may, in certain cases, cause death. Consequently,
non-compliance with these instructions and recommendations renders the
warranties given by Compano null and void and exonerates Compano from all
liability toward the owner.
