2.2 EXCLUSIVE SWAGTRON LiFePOTM BATTERY
This technology is multi-layered protection for your hoverboard. The T580 Twist features incombustible body materials and utilizes
a lithium phosphate battery pack that includes a Battery Management System. This system protects the battery against overvoltage,
temperature increases, overcharging, overcurrent, and short-circuiting. When used as intended, LiFePO™ is noncombustible and
nonflammable from punctures, physical damage or charging.
For more information on the battery specifications, see SECTION V.
2.3 BUILT-IN STARTUP BALANCING
The T580 Twist has a built-in Startup Balancing feature which may be turned on or off via the T580 Twist itself. This feature enhances
the unit’s self-balancing feature by further stabilizing the board and ensuring that the pedals always face up. By default, this feature
is turned on. With this feature on, if the rider falls or otherwise dismounts the unit while moving over an incline, the unit may
continue to move on its own as it attempts to balance, resulting in damage to others, surrounding obstacles, and/or the unit itself.
To turn the feature off, use the power button. While the unit is powering on, quickly press and release the power button a second
time. You will hear a confirmation beep. Follow the same steps to turn the feature on again.
If you decide to use this feature, it is recommended to ride only on surfaces which are completely flat with stable terrain.
When the unit is on and this feature is on, do not place your hands on or attempt to grasp the unit anywhere near the
wheels or fenders. Doing so may cause the wheels to spin on their own for a brief moment. Always turn off the unit before
lifting. Do not lift or carry the unit when this feature is on and the board is powered on. Failure to adhere to these warnings
and/or instructions could result in injuries including but not limited to: abrasions, lacerations, smashed fingers and/or
amputation of fingers, injury of others, and damage to surrounding objects.

3.2 HOW IT WORKS
The T580 Twist uses an internal gyroscope with acceleration sensors to move based on your center of gravity. Do not bend at the
waist. The movement will be mostly in your ankles.
MOVE FORWARD
Shift your weight forward to move straight ahead.
STOP
Return to an upright, standing position.
TURNING LEFT
Shift your weight slightly on the LEFT PEDAL to turn left.
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.
FORWARD
Shift your
weight forward
≤ 10º.
BACKWARD
Shift your
weight backward
≤ 10º.
STOP
Align your body
to an upright,
straight position.

• Avoid sudden turns while riding fast, as this may result in an accident.
• Do not step on the center pivot point of the SWAGBOARD T580 Twist.
3.3 CALIBRATION
If your SWAGBOARD T580 Twist seems to pull to the left or right during your ride, you may need to recalibrate its sensors. The
calibration 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 off the hoverboard.
STEP 2. Adjust the hoverboard so both pedals are level. Using a level tool is recommended for accuracy.
STEP 3. With the hoverboard level, press and hold the power button for about 6 seconds, until you hear 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 T580 Twist is still not calibrated correctly, repeat steps 1 to 5 at least twice more before calling customer support for
additional assistance.

IV. SAFE RIDING TECHNIQUES
Although the T580 Twist is designed with gyroscopic balancing technology, it’s still 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. Be ready to stop at any time.
• When riding near others, keep a safe distance to avoid collisions.
• Pay attention to your surroundings at all times. Your eyes are your best tools for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery
surfaces.

14 SWAGTRON®SWAGBOARD T580 TWIST HOVERBOARD
• 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 T580 Twist 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 state and local laws and give way to pedestrians.
