Safety and usage

To ensure safe operation, adhere to the following guidelines:

• Before use: Adjust the seat and steering wheel to the user's size. Check that steering, brakes, and tires are functioning correctly. Ensure all bolts and nuts are tight.
• During use: Ride at a controlled speed. Always use the handbrake or back-pedal brake to stop. Do not ride on public roads, hills, or slopes. Avoid sharp turns at high speeds to prevent tipping.
• Trailer: If a trailer is attached, remember that braking distance increases. Do not hook trailers on steep slopes.

Regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance.

Maintenance schedule

• Daily: Check tires for wear and correct pressure.
• Monthly: Clean and check all nuts and bolts. Check frame for cracks. Lubricate moving parts. Check chain tension and clean if necessary.
• Half-yearly: Check functioning of bearings, chain, hub, sprockets, and axles.
• Yearly: Clean plastic parts and check for damage.

Chain tensioning

The go-kart features two chains. Always tension the rear/short chain first.

• Rear chain: Remove the protective hood, loosen hub nuts, move the hub forward until the chain has 6mm of downward play, then retighten.
• Front chain: Loosen crank axle bolts, turn the tensioning nut clockwise until the chain has 1cm of downward play, then retighten.

Crank adjustment

After initial use (several days of intensive use or up to two weeks of normal use), the mounting bolts for the left and right cranks must be tightened to a maximum of 30Nm to prevent play and damage.
