U1PHE0E0.book Page 1 Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:42 PM SAFETY INFORMATION EAUT1018 1 Be a Responsible Owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your scooter. Scooters are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are dependent upon the use of proper riding techniques as well as the expertise of the operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this scooter.
U1PHE0E0.book Page 2 Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:42 PM SAFETY INFORMATION ● ● Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current driver’s license. • Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified operators. • Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
U1PHE0E0.book Page 3 Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:42 PM SAFETY INFORMATION 1 Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas.
