A thorough cleaning of your Go-kart is a necessary part of maintenance. It will
help keep your Go-kart looking and performing best. Proper cleaning can also
extend the life of your Go-kart.
It is important to clean and inspect your Go-kart after every ride, especially if
it is used in mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very dusty conditions
The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc. especially on the engine and exhaust
system, can reduce engine cooling ability, conceal damage, or increase wear
of certain parts. It is important to remove all debris during cleaning.
PREPARATION FOR CLEANING
Wash the Go-kart before any mud dries on the Go-kart.
Block or seal the end of the exhaust pipe (muffler) and air filter using a piece
of plastic wrap, cloth rag or another method to prevent water from entering
engine.
High pressure washers could damage your Go-kart.
High pressure washers such as those found at coin-operated car
washes have enough pressure to damage the parts of your Go-kart. It
may cause rust, corrosion and increase wear.
Do not use high pressure washers to clean your Go-kart.
