PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
q
Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the
lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When
you apply the brake with the speed control on, the brake cut-off
switch will shut off the motor.
q
Tires
Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear, and regularly
check the tire pressure and re-inflate as necessary. If you get
a flat tire, the inner tube can be patched or a new tube can be
purchased from Razor or an authorized repair center.
q
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames
are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb
or wall and wreck, bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of
inspecting the Dune Buggy before every ride.
q
Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, cables,
fasteners, etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly.
There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose
parts or broken components. If the unit is damaged, do not ride.
Reference “Safety Warnings” on page 1 of this manual.
q
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety
helmet. Elbow pads and kneepads are recommended. Always wear
athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces
tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
NEVER RIDE BAREFOOTED OR IN SANDALS.
q
Laws and Regulations
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.
q
Insurance
Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily
provide coverage for this product’s use. Check with your insurance
company for information regarding insurance.
