5.4.1 Chain
The chain must be greased regularly to keep it running smoothly. if the chain is too
taut, the pedal go-kart will be heavy to pedal and there is also a good chance that the
chain will break. If the chain is not tight enough, it will easily jump off the teeth on the
gear wheel and the chain case may also be damaged. The process for tightening the
chain is described below.
To tighten the chain:
Loosen the nut and bolt a little and then tighten the chain with the nut. Then tighten the
nut and bolt again.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow the chain to be too tight. Remove the lower half of the chain
case to see how taut it is. It should be possible to push the chain down easily by 2cm in
the centre.
