11. Safety Instructions
The Hiboy NEX5 electric scooter is a leisure device. But once they're in a public area, they'll be seen as vehicles, subjecting to any risks faced by vehicles. For your safety, please follow instructions in the manual and traffic laws and regulations set forth by government and regulatory agencies.
- At the same time, you should understand that risks cannot be entirely avoided as others may violate traffic regulations and drive incautiously, and you're exposed to road accidents just as when you're walking or biking. The faster the scooter is, the longer it takes to stop. On a smooth surface, the scooter may slip, lose balance, and even result in a fall. Thus it is crucial that you use caution, keep proper speed and distance, especially so when you're unfamiliar with the place.
- Respect pedestrians' Right of Way. Try not to startle them while driving, especially children. When you ride from behind pedestrians, ring your bell to give them a heads-up and slow your scooter to pass from their left (applicable to countries where vehicles drive on the right). When you ride across pedestrians, keep to the right at a low speed. When you drive across pedestrians, keep the lowest speed or getting off the vehicle.
- Closely follow the safety instructions in the manual. Hiboy shall not be liable for any financial losses, physical injuries, accidents, legal disputes and other interest conflicts resulted from actions that violate user instructions.
- Do not lend your scooter to whoever doesn't know the operations. And when you do lend it to your friends, please take the responsibility to ensure he/she knows the operation and wears the safety gear.
- Check the scooter before every use. When you note loosen parts, low battery alerts, excessive wear, strange sounds, malfunctions and other abnormal conditions, stop riding.
⚠️ WARNING - Risk of Fire - No User Serviceable Parts.
12. Daily Care and Maintenance
Cleaning and storage
If you see stains on the scooter's body, wipe them off with a damp cloth. If the stains won't scrub off, put on some toothpaste, and brush them with a toothbrush, then wipe them off with a damp cloth.
Notes: Do not clean the scooter with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene or other corrosive and volatile chemical solvents to prevent dire damage. Do not wash the board with a high-pressure water spray. During cleaning, make sure that the scooter's turned off, the charging cable is unplugged, and the rubber flap is closed as water leakage may result in electric shock or other major problems. When the scooter not in use, keep it indoors where it is dry and cool. Do not put it outdoors for a long time. Excessive sunlight, overheating and overcooling accelerate the battery pack's lifespan.
Battery maintenance
- Use original battery packs, use of other models or brands may bring about safety issues;
- Do not touch the contacts. Do not dismantle or puncture the casing. Keep the contacts away from metal objects to prevent short circuit which may result in battery damage or even injuries and deaths;
- Use original power adapter to avoid potential damage or fire;
- Mishandling of used batteries may do tremendous harm to the environment. To protect natural environment, please follow local regulations to properly dispose used batteries.
- After every use, fully charge the battery to prolong its lifespan.
Storage and Disposal
- Please try to store the scooter in a cool and dry place between 14°F and 104°F (-10°C and 40°C). In extremely humid environments the interior of the scooter may suffer condensation or even water accumulation, which may damage the battery rapidly. Devices are not intended for use at elevations greater than 2000 m above sea level. Prolonged Exposure to UV Rays, Rain and the Elements May Damage the Enclosure Materials. Store Indoors When Not in Use.
- In daily use, try to avoid recharging the scooter after completely exhausting the battery. If the battery is low, charge it as soon as possible.
- Please charge the scooter every other month to preserve the battery.
