SCOOTER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Wear a helmet

Make yourself easy to see

Know your limits

Your scooter can provide many years of service and pleasure, if you take responsibility for

your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There is

much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful

recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a few that we consider most

important.

Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that

can happen is a head injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should also

wear suitable eye protection.

To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other

drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will

help others notice you.

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying

within them will help you to avoid accidents.

Keep your scooter in safe condition

Inspection before riding

Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days

odification

For safe riding, it's important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all

recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have

been approved by KYMCO for this scooter.

Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure the safety of the rider.

Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance

double on a rainy day. Stay off of the painted surface marks, manhole covers and greasy

appearing areas as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway

crossings and on metal gratings and bridges. Whenever in doubt about road conditions,

slow down.

Modification of the scooter, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe

or illegal. Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

Helmets and protection

Additional riding gear

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved scooter helmet,

eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you

ride.

Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection

against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. Always wear

a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.

In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:

Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.



Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and

bruises.

A scooter riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright-colored and

reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose

clothes that could get caught on any part of your scooter.

(1)Wear gloves.

(2)Clothes should be close-fitting.

(3)Always wear an helmet. You

should also wear a face shield

or goggles.

(4)Wear bright or reflective

clothing.

(5)Shoes should be close-fitting,

have low heels and offer ankle

protection.

(1) (2) (3)

(5)

Not wearing a helmet

increases the chance of

serious injury or death in a

crash.

Be sure you and your

passenger always wear an

approved motorcycle helmet

that fits properly. You should

also wear eye protection and

other protective apparel when

you ride.
