3. GENERAL WARNING
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By allowing your child to ride their new balance
bike, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and to practice — the rules of safe and
responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of
injury.
•This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or
inspect your bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
• The combination of the ! safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
• The combination of the ! safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
• The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation, which, if not avoided, could result
in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
