CAUTION: STUNTS, WHEELIES or JUMPS are dangerous should not be
performed at any time. Although such stunts can be fun, they put incredible
stress on all parts of the scooter. Riders who insist on jumping risk serious
damage to their scooter and to themselves.

WARNING: The “Lower Hinge” of the latching mechanism is also a
“Mechanical Fuse” designed to break if there is high shock loads, stress,
and/or fatigue exerted on the handlebar assembly. If the handlebar feels
abnormally loose or sloppy, you must immediately stop riding and have the
scooter serviced. Failure to ignore this safety feature could result in a
catastrophic failure causing a sudden loss of control.

WARNING: Do not begin any adjustments, service, or repair on your PROGO®
if you have the slightest doubt about your ability to properly complete them.
Improper adjustments, service, or repair may result in permanent damage to
the PROGO®, and/or injury.
WARNING: Any modification to this unit VOIDS the warranty, including but
not limited to: disconnecting the muffler exhaust tube, using either wheels
or tires not recommended by PROGO®, changes to the emissions control
systems, attempting to enhance the speed or performance of the engine,
and/or equipping the unit with any non PROGO® OEM components. Such
modifiations can create HAZARDOUS AND/OR DANGEROUS conditions for the
rider, and can result in serious damage and personal injury.
CAUTION: In order to help keep your unit functioning normally, have any
repair or maintenance which is not specifially described in this manual
performed by an authorized PROGO® dealer.

17
CAUTION: PROGO® scooters are equipped with a mechanical “fuse”
incorporated into the lower hinge of the handlebar latch assembly which
is designed to fail before a catastrophic failure. If your handlebar feels
abnormally loose or sloppy you must immediately stop riding and have
the scooter serviced. Failure to ignore this safety feature could result in a
catastrophic failure causing a sudden loss of control.

WARNING: Tire wear, punctures, or ruptures can cause immediate loss of
control, which may affect operator and precipitate serious bodily injury.
Helmets, goggles, gloves, elbow and knee pads and appropriate shoes with
ankle support must be worn at all times.
WARNING: Completely deflate wheel before disassembly or any work on the
wheel. Failing to do so can result in serious injury.
WARNING: Patching a tube is an emergency repair. Patches can severely
weaken the integrity of a tube, resulting in possible tube failure and cause a
loss of control. Replace a patched tube as soon as possible. Never replace the
tube with anything other then the stock OEM tube. Using an aftermarket tube
or tire not intended for PROGO® specifiation could result in a sudden loss of
pressure that could cause damage to your scooter and sudden loss of control.
Never use a tube or tire that is not recommended by PROGO®.
CAUTION: Replace front or rear tires when tread is worn within 1/16” tread
depth, or if obvious tire damage has occurred.
Replacing pneumatic tires and tubes:Tiresandtubesarecriticalcomponentsthatrequire
