AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS: This manual contains
important information. For your child’s safety, it is your responsibility to
review this information with your child and make sure that your child
understands all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. Razor
USA recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information
in this manual with younger riders and that you are required to inspect and
maintain your child’s scooter to insure their safety.
GENERAL WARNING: Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity.
Scooters can and are intended to move and it is therefore possible to get
into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall. If such things
occur you can be seriously injured or die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING
PRODUCT, USING A SCOOTER CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND MAY
RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH PROPER SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

ADDITIONAL SPARK SCOOTER WARNINGS:
PARENTS and RIDERS: Make sure riders understand that sparks can start
a fire, and the Spark Scooter must be used with care to avoid accidentally
igniting particularly flammable things.
Toys that make sparks have been around for years, and there are sparking
skateboards and skates in the marketplace – Razor now brings this technology
to the world of scooters! But as with everything else, safety is important and
parents and riders must consider:

•Another important function served by recommending a higher age level
is to emphasize the importance of recommending that the Spark Scooter
must be ridden only with a clear understanding of the risks presented by
riding near potentially flammable environments.

SAFETY WARNINGS
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Direct parental supervision is required. Scooters are meant to be used only
in controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not on public
streets. Do not allow your child to ride a scooter in any areas where vehicle
traffic is present. Child must maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.
Never allow more than one child at a time to ride a scooter. Never use near
steps, sloped driveways, hills, roadways, alleys or swimming pool areas. Keep
fingers and other body parts away from the product when folding or unfolding.
Adults must not allow children to assist in folding or unfolding the scooter.
Do not ride a scooter in wet weather. Scooters are intended for use on solid,
flat, clean and dry surfaces such as pavement or level ground without loose
debris such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may
impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride a scooter in
mud,ice,puddlesorwater.Avoidexcessivespeedsthatcanbeassociated
with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring
by use of a scooter indoors. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always ensure child is wearing proper protective equipment such as an
approved safety helmet. A helmet may be legally required by local law
or regulation in your area. A child should always wear shoes, never ride
barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of
the wheels.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE
WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE
AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS
ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.
WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly
inspecting and maintaining your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always
inspect your scooter before riding and regularly maintain it.
WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTER USE. Check
local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor
scooter legally. In many states and local areas scooter riders are required
BY LAW to wear a helmet. Check local laws and regulations regarding laws
governing helmet use and scooter operation in your area.

q Wheels and Bearings
Under normal circumstances and conditions, Razor wheels and bearings are maintenance free. Nonetheless, it is
theresponsibilityoftheownerorguardiantoperiodicallyinspectthewheelsforwearandtear,theaxleforproper
tightness, and bearings for side-to-side play and loose parts. When a wheel or wheel bearing develops play, this is an
indicationofexcesswearandreplacementisnecessary.ReplaceimmediatelywithonlygenuineRazorwheels.Worn
wheels and bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the Razor Warranty. Wheels other
than genuine Razor wheels may not be compatible with your Razor scooter. The use of anything other than genuine
Razor replacement parts may affect your safety and will void your warranty.
q Cleaning Your Scooter
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol, alcohol-based or am-
monia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the plastic components or soften the decals or decal adhesive.
WARNING: Wheelies
and other stunt-type riding reduces
your ability to maneuver and control
the scooter. Take the necessary
precautions, such as wearing
appropriate protective gear and
practice in a area safe for stunt
riding and free from obstructions.

Be Careful!
You will see people on TV and maybe even people you know doing
tricks and stunts. These are people who have been practicing on
scooters for a very long time. Don’t try something until you are
ready. Avoid steep inclines and don’t ride too fast — you can lose
control and fall. Skateboard parks are not designed for scooters.
Never ride in traffic or on the street and watch your surroundings
for pedestrians, bikers, boarders and skaters.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.
