2.1 Z1000 series vehicle model description
Z1000 is a high-tech mini electric car with double wheel and self balance
which uses the dynamic balance principle to control moving forward,
backward, turning and stopping. Z1000 has obvious advantages like
lightweight and fashionable appearances, flexible control and low carbon,
environmental-friendly feature, so it is the best accompanying object for
recreation, scenery touring, s hort distanc e scooting and v arious
applications in life.

2.3 Z1000 working principle
◆
Z1000 balance car uses the dynamic balance principle, through the
built-ingyroscope and acceleration sensors. It relies on the body gravity
cente changes to measure the changes of vehicle body posture, and uses
the servo control systemto drive the motor precisely to do the correspond-
ing adjustment. When a human body stands on the Z1000 balance car,
and bends forward, the system can sense it automatically and drive
wheels precisely to move forward for keeping balance. When the gravity
center bends backward, the wheel will move backward, and in case of
turning, it can slow down and control left, right foot to bend to front or back
to make the gravity center deflect to left for turning left, and to right for
turning right according to the self turning requirements.
◆
Z1000 built-in inertia dynamic stabilizing system can keep horizontal in
forward and backward directions, but it can not ensure the stability in left
and right direction.
So, drivers of Z1000 must slow down for turning, to avoid body injuries
due to too large centrifugal forces.

3.1Pedal sensor
Z1000 has four sensors
belowthe
pedals. When
users step
on the Z1000
pedals, Z1000 can
adjust automatically tothe
balance
mode.
◆
When
driving Z1000, you
must ensure the
pedals are
in
stamping
on
condition. No stamping
on
parts other than the
pedals.
◆
Please
do
not put stuffs you
bring
on the
pedal, or
else
you can
not switch
off the Z1000, which
will
increase chances
of collision
of Z1000, for
avoiding the
body injury or
damage to the Z1000 itself.
3.2 Display panel
The
display panel
is located
in
middle
of Z1000, used to
display the
operational
data
of Z1000.
◆
A

display zone:
if the
green
light is on, it means Z1000
battery level
is

of the driver. 2. To reduce Z1000 loss due to overloading.
◆
The max. loading weight of drivers is 100kg.
◆
The min. loading weight of drivers is 35kg.
WARNING:It may bring you risk of falling down to exceed the loading
weight limit.

4. Safe use of Z1000
4.3 The max. driving distance
The max. driving distance of Z1000 is related to many factors, for example,
◆
Road condition: on smooth and even ground, it will drive for a longer
distance, or it will drive for a shorter distance.
◆
Body weight: the driver' s body weight will affect the driving distance.
◆
Environmental temperature: to store and drive Z1000 at the recommended
temperature, will increase the driving distance, or at the extreme
temperature it will decrease the driving distance.
◆
Maintenance: proper battery charge and maintenance will increase its
driving distance, or it will be decreased.
◆
Speed and driving style: to keep driving at medium speed will increase
the driving distance, or if it is frequently started, stopped, accelerated,
decelerated, the driving distance will be decreased.
4.4 Speed limit
◆
The max. driving speed of Z1000 is 10km/h.
◆
If the driving speed is over the max. allowable speed,the Z1000 buzzer
will sound alarming.
◆
At the regulated speed, Z1000 can maintain a good balance for the driver.
If the driving speed is over the specific speed, the Z1000 will tilt up
to make it able to limit the speed within the safety speed.

5. Learning to drive Z1000
When using Z1000, you should pay attentions tothe relevant safety prec-
autions. Therefore, you must get a full understanding of all the precautions
mentioned in the "Users' manual" before driving it, which is extremely
important for you.
5.1 Operational procedures of Z1000
◆
Step 1: tostart Z1000, you press down the power-on button (or the power
on button on the remote).
◆
Step 2: to prepare for driving, you stamp on the pedal with one footto turn
on the pedal switch to let the operational indicator light lit, and the system
enter the self-balance condition. After keeping the balance of the car
body, you stamp on another foot tostart operation.
◆
Step 3: after successfully operating the Z1000 and standingup, if you keep
the gravity center balanced, the Z1000 will also keep still. You then can
control the Z1000 moving forward or backward by bending your body
forward or backward in a small degree, but you must remember not to
bend your body too much.
NOTE: If the Z1000 platform is not in horizontal condition when turning
on the pedal switch, the buzzer will alarm and the alarming light wilt
be lit, the system can not enter the self-balance condition, at this
occasion, any operation isprohibited.

◆
Step 4: to operate Z1000 in the left and right direction.
◆
Step 5: to get down the car. Before getting down, you need to let the Z1000
stop moving. By keeping in a balance condition, you let one of your feet
step down first, and another foot leave the pedal quickly.
WARNING:Sharp turning is forbidden when driving at high speed, to
avoid danger.
No transverse driving or turning can be done on slope, as thiswill cause
shifting of Z1000 balancing angle, affecting safe driving.

5.2 Protection function ofZ1000
During driving, if the system error or illegal operation happens, the Z1000
will remind the driver in different ways.
For forbidding riding, the alarming light will be lit always, and the buzzer
will give alarming at intervals, the system can not enter the self-balance mode.
◆
When getting on the car, the platform tilts forward or backward at angles
over 10 degrees.
◆
The battery voltage is too low.
◆
It is in charging process.
◆
During driving, the platform tilts up, no operation is allowed.
◆
Over-speeding of the vehicle body.
◆
Shortage of battery level
◆
The vehicle body rocks back and forth exceeding 30S.
◆
The system enters the protection mode, with the alarming light lit constantly,
the buzzer gives alarming at high frequency during driving.
◆
The platform tilts forward or backward at angles over 35 degree, causing it
entering the stop condition.
◆
The tire is blocked and stops running, it enters the stop condition after 2S.
◆
The battery voltage is lower than the protection level, it enters the stop
condition after 15S.
◆
Due to the constant large current discharge (for example, to climb a long
and steep slope for a long time), it enters the stop condition after 15S.
- 10 -

7. Battery use instructions
It includes description of Z1000 charging method, how to maintain the
battery, and safety precautions, together with the battery specifications. In
order to protect your and others' safety and maximize the battery life and
promote its performance, please operate the battery acc o rding to the
followings.
7.1 Low battery level
When you see the battery level indicator light is red and blinks, which means
the battery level is low, we suggest you to stop driving. When the battery level
is low, Z1000 has no enough energy to keep you driving normally, and the
system will tilt up the base platform automatically, prohibiting users continu-
ing to use. If you insist on driving Z1000, it is very easy to result in your falling
down and injury, and it will also affect the battery service life meanwhile.
◆
Please do not use the battery, if the following condition happens.
◆
1. Some strange smell is released or the temperature is too high.
◆
2. Any substance is leaked out.
◆
Only professional person can remove, and repair the battery.
◆
Do not touch any substance leaked from the battery.
◆
Kids and animals are not allowed to touch the battery. Before installing
the battery or driving, the charger must be plugged out. It is dangerous to do
anything related to Z1000 when it is being charged.
◆
The battery contains dangerous matters, no opening of the battery by your-
self, and do not insert anything into the battery.
◆
Only the charging device provided by us can be used for charging Z1000.
◆
No charging to Li-ion battery that has been over-discharged. As the overdis-
charged battery has safety risks, it has to be disposed of as wastes.
◆
Z1000 battery can only be used with the permission of the local laws.
- 15 -
7.2 Charging procedures
◆
To ensure the charging port is dry.
◆
To open the charging cover at rear of Z1000.
◆

~50 /60 Hz) first,
make
sure
the
green
light
on
the
charger
is
lit
normally,
then
plug
the
other
end
to Z1000.
◆
When the red indicator light on the charger is lit, it means the charging is
normal. Or please check if the circuit is connected properly.
◆
When the indicator light on the charger turns from red to green, showing the
battery is fully charged, you should stop charging, as long term charging may
affect the battery life.
