When the battery has been depleted or the system gives out infor-mation with safety shutdown, please do not continue to drive the scooter, otherwise, the scooter cannot balance for the lack of battery. In this condition, the driver is likely to be harmed. If the battery reaches the minimum, the continued driving of the scooter will negatively affect the battery’s life.5.3 Riding practiceBeforeyoudrivethescooteroutdoors,pleasemakesureyouarefamiliarwiththeskillsofdrivingit:• Trytowearcasualclothingandwearatshoestomaintaintheexibilityofthebody.• Pleasegotoopenspacestopracticedrivingthescooteruntilyoucaneasilygetonandgetoff.• Makesurethepavementiseven.• Whenyouaredrivingondifferentterrain,youmustslowdown.• Selfbalancingelectricscooterisatransportationtooldesignedforasmoothroad.Whenitisoperatingonunevenpavement,theusershouldslowdown.• Pleaseavoiddrivinginplaceswithpedestriansorobstacles.GS36BC-v1536-IB.indd 17 12/14/2015 2:02:19 PM
