3.7 BATTERY SAFETY
Lithium-ion batteries are dangerous if not used correctly and cared
for. They can explode and cause a re. It is recommended that you
read the following instructions very carefully:
• Each time you ride the skates check the screws on the bottom
panels are tight and check the protective seals are not showing
• In case of any serious impact to the skates (drops, collisions),
thoroughly inspect the skates’ functionality (spinning wheels, frame
integrity, electronics functionality)
• Never expose the battery to temperatures above 40
Degrees Celsius
• Only use the ocial ESCEND charger
• Never leave the skates unattended when charging
• Never run the skates while charging
• If you do not plan on using the skates for more than 2 months,
then try to leave the battery around 50% charge (SOC)
• Before riding again fully charge the skates to rebalance the cells
• Do not let a fully charged battery stay in the charger for long
periods of time
• If throwing away a battery nd a dedicated battery disposal facility
in your area

4.2 TIPS FOR RIDING ESCEND BLADES
SPEED BUMPS
Take care when going over speed bumps, do not go over them at high
speeds and keep your balance. Even though the skates can handle
a level of abuse they are not designed for extreme jumps or tricks.
Damage resulting from hard riding will not be covered under the
warranty.
UNEVEN SURFACES
Be careful when riding on uneven and bumpy surfaces. This could
throw you o-balance and cause a dangerous situation, especially
for inexperienced riders. Avoid sharp manoeuvres and keep to a speed
within your comfort level.
SIDEWALK / ROAD JUNCTION
Take care when stepping up or down any sidewalks, take them at a
slow speed and lift one leg at a time onto the new level surface. If the
surface is less than 3cm you can ride straight up it but take them
at 45-degree angles and maintain your speed, while keeping your
balance.
ZEBRA CROSSING AND ROAD MARKINGS
Please take care when going over slippery surfaces (e.g. painted
road markings) when the road is wet. If you must go on them do not
accelerate / brake ercely, keep to a low speed and avoid sharp
manoeuvres.
PARKED CARS, PARKING LOTS AND PEDESTRIANS
Take extra caution and slow down when riding around cars and
pedestrians. They may not see you or may not be paying attention to
their surroundings. Slow down around emerging or parking cars and
ride as if they cannot see you!
WATERLOGGED ROADS
This could be a hazard to your skates and is recommended you do not
ride on waterlogged roads. Do not immerse the skates in water and
avoid big puddles. Water damage is not covered in the warranty.
