Use the hex key and wrench to tighten completely.

Tools needed: ?, ?, ? x 2

Step 2: Handlebar Mounts and Flag Holder

Insert the left and right handlebar mounts into the seat frame, aligning their holes with the seat frame holes. Align the hole of the flag holder with a corresponding hole on the seat frame. Insert 8 X 38 screws into these holes and attach 8 mm nuts to the ends, tightening clockwise with the hex key and wrench.

Tools needed: ?, ?, ? x 2

Step 3: Front Frame and Lockers

Insert the front frame into the seat frame and adjust to your preferred length. For each locker, remove the black bolt and one white washer. Insert the screwed section of the locker into the seat frame holes. Reattach the white washer and black bolt, twisting clockwise until tight. Close the locker clamp securely. Repeat for the other side.

Fog Blaster Diagram and Usage

Fog Blaster Diagram

The fog blaster unit has the following parts:

• 1. Charging Port (USB)
• 2. Water Tank
• 3. Power Button
• 4. LED Lights & Sound Effects Button
• 5. Fog Vent & LED Lights

Using & Maintaining Your Fog Blaster

Charging: Connect the included charging cable to the fog blaster's charging port and a USB outlet. A red light indicates charging; the light turns off when fully charged (may take up to 4 hours). Unplug the cable after charging.

Filling: Press and hold down the water tank buttons while pouring water into the water tank. Release the buttons when the tanks are filled. Do not overfill! ?

Attaching the Raptor to Your Hoverboard

Ensure your Raptor is fully assembled before proceeding. Refer to the "Assembling Your Raptor" section if needed.

Step 1: Positioning Mounts

Place the handlebar mounts onto the foot pads of your hoverboard. Ensure they are centered on the foot pads as much as possible. The diagram shows the Raptor's front wheels and frame positioned on either side of the hoverboard's wheels.

Visual Aid: Raptor mounts → Hoverboard → Raptor attached

Step 2: Securing with Straps

Use 2 of the included hook and loop straps to secure the Raptor. The other 2 straps are spares. With the fastener side facing away from your hoverboard, thread the straps through the front hole of each handlebar mount.

Step 3: Final Strap Tightening

Wrap both straps under your hoverboard and pull them through to the other side. Insert the straps into the rear hole of the handlebar mounts. Fasten the front and rear sides of the straps. The rubber protectors on the straps should be centered underneath the hoverboard, with side B facing the ground. Ensure they are tightly secured.

Step 4: Warning - Strap Tightness

⚠️ WARNING: Do not over-tighten the straps when attaching your Raptor to your hoverboard. Ensure that the Raptor is securely attached.

Step 5: Assembling the Flag

Assemble the flag by inserting one flag rod into the opening in the flag fabric. Attach coupling tubes to the flag rods. Combine the remaining rods by inserting them into each other at the coupling points. Insert the assembled flag set into the flag tube.

Step 6: Final Assembled View

When fully assembled and attached, your Raptor should resemble the final diagram shown in the manual.

Before Riding

Raptor Operation

It is crucial to fully understand all functions of your Raptor. Incorrect use can lead to a loss of full control. Practice using the Raptor at slower speeds in a flat, open area before riding in other spaces.

Pre-Ride Raptor Checklist

Ensure your Raptor and hoverboard are in proper working order each time you ride. If any part malfunctions, contact customer support.

• ✔️ Ensure the battery of your hoverboard is fully charged.
• ✔️ Ensure all screws and nuts on the Raptor are tightly secured.
• ✔️ Check to ensure the tires of your hoverboard are not worn.
• ✔️ Check to ensure all connections are maintained on your hoverboard.
• ✔️ Make sure your hoverboard is calibrated and running properly.

Safety Precautions

The primary rule of safe riding is to use common sense. The Raptor cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or from loss of control like a car can. It can tip over sideways or pitch you over the front wheel if not ridden properly. Please read the following safety precautions.

Local laws governing riding on public roads vary; check with local officials to ensure compliance.

Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow these regulations.

• ⛑️ For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE safety standards. In an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious injury and, in some cases, death.
• ✔️ Obey all local laws, stop signs, and pedestrian crosswalks.
• ↔️ If riding with others, maintain a safe distance to avoid collisions.
• ?️ Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
• ? Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• ? Do not ride too close to pedestrians. Alert them if you intend to pass from behind.
• ? Slow down at all street intersections and look left and right before crossing.
• ? Obey all traffic signals.
• ✋ Always use proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Give signals 100 ft before stopping or turning and return both hands to the handlebars before completing the maneuver.
• ? Watch for cars pulling into traffic and be aware of sudden car door openings.
• ⚠️ Avoid potholes, drainage grates, or other hazards.
• ⛰️ Be careful when riding on soft road edges, gravel, sand, and uneven surfaces. Ride slowly and avoid quick turns on these surfaces.
• ? Never hitch onto other vehicles.
• ? Do not attempt any stunts or tricks with the Raptor. Do not race in traffic.
• ↔️ Do not weave in and out of traffic or swerve from side to side.
• ? A crash can put extraordinary stress on Raptor's components, potentially causing premature fatigue. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly, leading to loss of control or serious injury.

Important Restrictions:

• This product is strictly forbidden to be used on roads and highways unless local laws state otherwise.
• You must wear a safety helmet, knee and elbow pads, and other necessary protective gear.
• Assembly pieces should be checked before every ride to avoid accidents.
• Do not make sharp turns, as this may cause the Raptor to drift and overturn, resulting in injury or unit damage.
• Do not operate near swimming pools or other bodies of water.

Riding Your Raptor

Ensure your Raptor is fully assembled and correctly attached to your hoverboard with all straps, screws, and nuts secured. Ensure your hoverboard is also properly maintained. Failure to do so may result in unit damage, serious bodily harm, or death.

After reviewing the pre-ride checklist, follow these steps to begin riding:

1. Turn on your hoverboard.
2. Sit comfortably in the Raptor seat.
3. Place your feet on the foot rests.
4. To move forward: Firmly grip both handlebars and slowly push them downward simultaneously.
5. To brake: Pull both handlebars upwards simultaneously.
6. To ride in reverse: Stop the hoverboard, then slowly pull both handlebars upwards simultaneously.
7. To turn left: Push the right handlebar down and pull the left handlebar up.
8. To turn right: Push the left handlebar down and pull the right handlebar up.
