2. Safety

2.1 Warning

Whenever you drive the SO3 you risk serious injury or death from collisions, falls or loss of control. To drive safely, YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS

MANUAL.

This manual includes basic operational instructions for the SO3. It cannot cover all situations where injury or death may occur.

The seller or the company So-Flow do not hold any accountability for damages, loss of belongings, injuries and legal disputes, which occurred due to disregard of any of the information in this

manual or due to disregard of any traffic laws by the user.

OPERATORS MUST USE GOOD JUDGMENT AND COMMON SENSE TO DETECT AND AVOID HAZARDS AND DANGERS that they may encounter when driving the SO3. The SO3 operator must use the

vehicle according to the local traffic law and is not allowed to drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication treatment.

By using the SO3, you accept the inherent risks of operating this product.

Please do not charge the battery when unattended and disconnect the battery from the power source when it is fully charged.

EN ISO 12100:2010

Safety of machinery - General principles for design - Risk assessment and risk reduction (ISO 12100:2010)

DANGER!

2.2 Risk of Injury

Whenever you drive the SO3, you risk injury from loss of control, collisions and falls. It is your responsibility to learn how to safely drive the SO3 in order to reduce the risks of driving.

This manual is designed to help you learn safe driving techniques.

The SO3 must not be used unless the operator has read through and understood the entire manual.

We recommend that you keep this manual in a safe place and read it carefully again after a long period of non-use to ensure the safest possible handling of the SO3.

2.3 Attention!

There are risks to driving every vehicle. This one is no exception.

Start in a safe location without traffic and have somebody helping you with your first steps and start slowly. If you carefully follow all the instructions and warnings in this manual, you should be

able to teach yourself to drive. Avoid using the SO3 if you are feeling tired, sleepy or you have a medical condition that reduces your ability to drive.

Please ensure this manual is read and understood beforehand, and do pay extra attention when driving.

1. All users of the SO3 must follow all traffic laws and regulations. Check whether you can use the SO3 on public property before you drive it there. Especially keep track of pedestrians,

children, animals and other road users when you drive this device. Point out your presence when approaching a pedestrian or cyclist if you are not seen or heard. Cross protected

crossings on foot.

2. Both tires must be in contact with the ground at all times. Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces (such as snow, ice, oil, sand etc.), which could result in a loss of balance or traction and

cause a fall. The SO3 is intended for indoors or use on smooth, flat surfaces. To prevent loss of traction, you must always be careful when driving and you must identify and avoid

slippery and wet surfaces, loose materials, slopes, tram tracks, potholes and other obstacles (especially higher than 1 cm). The wheels must be able to grip the ground for you to stay

upright.

3. Abrupt maneuvers and driving over slippery surfaces, bumps, and loose objects and materials, as well as performing jumps and stunts and risky behavior in general, may cause it to lose

traction and pose a risk to the operator and the device and must be avoided therefore. The driving speed must always be adjusted to given conditions (e.g. light, weather, other traffic

participants, etc.).

4. Make sure to wear flat shoes (no high heels) when using the SO3. Ask a person to help you if you are not an experienced user.

5. The SO3 should not be used by small children. It is at the discretion of the parent to determine whether your child has the necessary motor skills or strength and judgment to use the

SO3. In accordance with legal regulations, SO3 may not be used by children under 14 years of age. These legal requirements are in accordance with German law. Check the relevant

local and national laws of your country and observe the minimum age for riding an electric scooter, which is regulated by law in each country.

CAUTION!

WARNING!

6. You should not exceed the maximum weight according to the technical specifications including items you carry with you (e.g. backpack) for the use of SO3. A higher load could damage

the SO3.

7. Never turn off the SO3 while you are riding.

8. Do not modify the SO3. Modifications could interfere with operating and could result in serious injury and/or damage. Modifications will void the warranty.

9. The SO3 is designed for the use of one person only at a time. It must never be used by more than one person at a time. Do not carry heavy or spacious objects with you when driving.

10. You must wear a complete protection equipment (helmet, kneepads, back protector, etc.) when driving the SO3.

11. Hold the handle-bar tightly with both hands at any time when driving.

12. Always keep both your feet on the SO3 while riding, unless you’re accelerating. Wait until you have come to a complete standstill before you get off the SO3.

13. Before every ride, check that the handlebars are correctly engaged and the brake function. Never ride if the brakes do not work correctly. In this case contact your SO3 dealer

immediately. You can operate the brake by pulling the left brake lever on the handlebar. This operation operates the front disc brake and the electronic rear brake simultaneously. Be

careful, the brake can become hot when used. Do not touch the brake when in use.

14. Do not use the SO3 in temperatures below -5°C. This can have a negative effect on the battery and the engine. There is also an increased risk of slipping at these temperatures due to

ice formation.

15. Driving in rainy and snowy weather is not recommended. You should also avoid driving through puddles of water because the water could damage the engine or the electricity. Note

the extended braking distance on wet surfaces.

16. Always keep the device away from humidity, during usage as well as storage (see section 5 “Maintenance, repairs and warranty”).

17. Check the battery level of the device before each journey. Never use the SO3 when the battery level is low. If you need to turn off the SO3 due to low battery power, do not use it for

long periods of time like a conventional scooter as this may damage the engine in the long run.

18. Never operate any SO3 while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, strong medication or other substances that can influence your level of attention.

19. Remove all sharp edges resulting from use.
