unfamiliar areas. Do not drive at unsafe speeds. You must always use good judgment based on your driving skills and the
surrounding environment.
4. Do not allow anyone to drive your Gokart on his/her own unless he/she has carefully read this manual, and followed the New
Rider Tutorial. The safety of new riders is your responsibility. Assist new riders until they are comfortable with the basic
operation of the Gokart and make sure each new rider wears a helmet and other protective gear.
5. To avoid distraction when driving your Gokart, do not use a cell phone, camera, headphones, earbuds, or perform any other
activity while driving.
6. When approaching or crossing an intersection, road, corner, or gate of any kind, always slow down and yield to others.
7. Be alert! Scan both far ahead and in front of you. Your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and low traction
surfaces (including, but not limited to, wet ground, loose sand, loose gravel, and ice). Use caution when transitioning over
differing terrain.
8. Always slow down when turning. Turning at a high speed can cause loss of control, possible vehicle turn-over, and risk of
injury or death.
9. Do not perform stunts of any kind. All four tires must remain on the ground at all times.
10. While driving the Gokart, always remain seated with arms and legs inside the Gokart.
11. Do not carry cargo of any kind.
12. If the Gokart makes an abnormal sound or signals an alarm while driving, stop immediately and do not use the Gokart or
Ninebot S-Max until the cause of the noise/alarm has been identified and corrected. Contact after-sales service for
assistance.

After Each Drive:

surges and voltage spikes.

void the Limited Warranty.
Maintenance and Storage:
1. Be sure the Gokart is powered off before performing any maintenance or when installing or replacing parts.
2. When installing components, use proper and sufficient force until the component is secure. If the installation is too loose or
too tight, the Gokart may not function properly, resulting in the potential for injury to you or others or damage to, or
malfunction of, the Gokart.
3. Install batteries for the Gokart in accordance with the instructions and ensure that the positive and negative electrodes of
the batteries are installed correctly. Only use the batteries specified by the manufacturer. Do not charge the batteries as this

rechargeable batteries. When the batteries are dead, purchase and replace them.
