INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual was written to help you get the most performance, comfort, enjoyment, and safety when your child is riding his or her new three wheeled scooter. It is important for you to understand your child’s new three wheeled scooter, how your child should use it and what you need to do to keep your child safe.

GENERAL WARNING:

Riding can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances.

Proper maintenance of your child’s new three wheeled scooter is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many

“WARNINGS” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your child’s new three wheeled scooter. Many of the warnings could say, “your child may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the risk of falling leads to a “WARNING”. NOTE: The illustrations in this manual are used simply to provide examples; the components of your child’s new three wheeled scooter might differ. In addition, some of the parts shown might be optional and not part of your child’s new three wheeled scooter’s standard equipment. The following manual is only a guide to assist you.

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS

Your child’s new three wheeled scooter is distributed by Dynacraft BSC,

Inc. and is intended for riding on flat surfaces and easy slopes. Uses such as aggressive off-road riding, downhill riding, jumping tricks, stunting and other extreme uses are not recommended. If you allow your child to do such things with this scooter you must assume sole responsibility for any harm to your child that may result.

It is a tragic fact that riding accidents involve children. As a parent or guardian, your bear the responsibility for the activities and safety of your minor child. Among these responsibilities are to make sure that your child’s new three wheeled scooter, which your child is riding, is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have gone over the use, operation and safety section of this manual; that you and your child have learned, and understand what to do and what not to do with your child’s three wheeled new scooter, and the common sense rules of gravity, safe speed and courteous riding.

USE, OPERATION, AND SAFETY

As a parent, you should read this manual before letting your child ride his or her new three wheeled scooter. The age grade of 3 to 5 years old is based on United States government guidance on child development and appropriate toys, but young children are all different. If your child walks and runs with confidence, then the three wheeled scooter will help your child develop balancing skills and learn about steering. After walking while standing on the three wheeled scooter, your child will then run and eventually “scoot” while both feet are off the ground. The three wheeled scooter has no brake. To stop, your child merely stands off. You can not expect your child to understand how difficult it is to stop on hills or at speed, and your close supervision and sound limits about speed and grade are required for your child’s safety.

So encourage play and having fun with the three wheeled scooter, but keep it on flat surfaces or gentle slopes, always wear shoes (never barefoot, sandals or flip flops), and avoid traffic and pedestrians.

Remember, only you are the best judge of whether your child is at the appropriate development stage for safe play with this scooter.

Always have your child use safety equipment and appropriate clothes and shoes. Safety equipment is a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. The helmet is not only a good idea but required in many communities. To protect your child, the helmet must comply with CPSC, 16 CFR Section 1203 requirements and be worn correctly.

The three wheeled scooter is intended to allow children to learn at their own pace while feeling safe that they are not going to fall. Have them start by having one foot on the three wheeled scooter and the other foot pushing off the ground. The action is like walking and they will progress as they become comfortable. Your responsibility is to set limits on speed and appropriate location for play. Be aware that young children can often master riding, but will still lose their balance and fall while at play. So part of your supervision is that they not leave the three wheeled scooter or other toys around where they play as they may fall on them. It is also your responsibility to maintain the three wheeled scooter after correctly assembling it.

Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding behavior before they take off on the scooter. Please explain to them as often as necessary:

• Adult supervision is required.

• Always wear a helmet and other safety equipment.

• Always keep the chin strap on the helmet securely buckled.

• Observe the age and weight limitations on the cover of this manual.

• Never have more than one rider and never try to tow anything.

• Do not ride at night.

• Do not ride in wet weather.

• Obey all local laws about cycling.

• Do not ride near swimming pools, ditches or drop offs.

• Do not ride if parts are broken or worn until fixed or replaced by your parent.

• Always ride on smooth surfaces or gentle slopes and avoid too much speed.

• Do not ride on streets, around cars, on hills, barefoot, or in skateboard or

vehicle traffic.

• Speed is a danger, avoid excessive speed going down hill; also avoid stunts,

jumps and bumps.

• Avoid sharp turns, bumps, drainage grates, trick stages, ramps, half pipes,

skateboard parks, or empty swimming pools.

• Battery replacement must be performed by an adult.

• Do not allow child to ride wearing anything that obstructs visibility or hearing.

• Be sure the rider keeps both hands on the handlebar for proper control.
