17SWAGTRON®Patriot Hoverboard English
TURNING RIGHT
Shift your weight slightly on the RIGHT PEDAL to turn right.
STEPPING OFF
With the hoverboard completely stopped, step back with your dominant foot, then quickly step off with the other
foot. In general, it’s easier to step off the back of the hoverboard. Be careful when stepping off for the first time.
CAUTION
The SWAGTRON has an inertial dynamic stabilization system that keeps you upright. However, it
will stop detecting you if you lean too far left or right or if you take a foot off of the board. Slow
down before turning or you will fall off and be injured.
+ Avoid turning suddenly when riding fast, as this may result in an accident.
+ Do not step on the center pivot point of the SWAGTRON Patriot.
3.3 CALIBRATION
If your SWAGTRONPatriot seems to pull to the left or right during your ride, you may need to recalibrate its
sensors. The process requires a flat stable surface and a level. Levels may be purchased separately at most
hardware stores or level apps may be downloaded with most smartphones.
STEP 1. Turn the hoverboard off.
STEP 2. Rotate both sides of the hoverboard so the pedals are level. Using a level tool is recommended for
accuracy.

18 SWAGTRON®Patriot HoverboardEnglish

after the board emits a single beep. The lights will begin flashing.
STEP 4. Make sure the pedals are level, then press the power button again to turn the hoverboard off.
STEP 5. Turn the hoverboard on and try riding to check calibration.
If the Patriot is still not calibrated correctly, repeat step 1 to 6 or contact customer support for
additional assistance.

IV – SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES
Although the Patriot is designed with gyroscopic balancing technology, it’s possible to fall off.
Consider the following techniques and info to help ensure you have a safe, fun riding experience.
CAUTION
+ Appropriate clothing and safety gear are highly recommended. During riding, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist
braces, and an ASTM F1492 approved helmet should be worn by all riders of all ages at all times.
+ Do not wear anything that can drape over or get caught into/under the wheels.
+ Wear flat, close-toed shoes to maintain flexibility and stability.
+ When going through entryways, remember that you are 4.5 in (11 cm) taller while riding.
+ Make sure your feet are always on the pedals. Taking your feet off the hoverboard while riding is incredibly
dangerous.
+ The hoverboard may not function if it flips upside down. To restore normal functionality, make sure it is level
and right side up then turn the hoverboard off and back on again.
+ Ride on even pavement or smooth roads. Relax your legs while riding, knees slightly bent. This helps
maintain balance when you encounter uneven ground.
+ For your own safety and the safety of others, ride only at speeds you are comfortable with and be ready to
stop at any time.
+ When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
+ Pay attention to your surroundings. Your eyes are your best tools for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery

20 SWAGTRON®Patriot HoverboardEnglish
surfaces.
+ Ride in open spaces and flat areas. Avoid slopes or high traffic areas until you’re familiar with riding.
+ Do not attempt to carry passengers. The Patriot can only support the weight of one person at a time. When
the maximum weight limit is exceeded, the hoverboard may sound an alarm and/or the system indicator may
show an error. Do not exceed the hoverboard’s weight limit.
+ Remember, only ride where permitted. You MUST comply with local laws and give way to pedestrians.
