2. Rules for use
• Before anyone uses the , check if everything is functioning as it should.
• Children (under 12) may only steer the go-kart under adult supervision.
• The go-kart may not be used on the public roads. Drive at a suitable speed,
according to the situation. If you ride across a slope (rather than up or down it),
there is a danger of the go-kart tipping over. A considerable speed can be
reached when going downhill. Be aware that the braking distance at a higher
speed will be longer!
• Do not take any sharp bends at high speeds, as there is danger of the go-kart
tipping over.
• Always pay attention to your surroundings.
• Do not ride backwards at too great a speed, as in doing this you can lose con-
trol of the steering.
• Never ride if you are under the influence of drink, drugs or medicines that can
negatively affect your reactions or powers of observation.
• Collisions or such abuse increase the chance of injury and damage to the go-
kart. If it is damaged by these this kind of abuse, then BERG Toys cannot be
held responsible.
• Do not place any unnecessary objects on or against the steering. Make sure
that the steering can always function properly.
• Beware of loose hanging pieces of clothing such as scarves and shoelaces.
These can become entangled in moving parts, which can lead to accidents.
• Avoid any contact with the wheels when you are riding the go-kart.
• In the manual there are guidelines as regarding age categories. The driver or
owner is himself responsible for assessing if the go-kart has the correct sizes
(leg space, seat height, distance to steering and brakes, etc.) for him or her.
• Take care that for every ride the seats and the steering wheel are in the correct
position with regard to the pedals, so that the go-kart can be ridden safely.
• Do not get on or off the go-kart while it is moving.
• Do not overload the vehicle.
• Never ride in the dark without lights.
• If a protective cover must be removed for maintenance, always remount it as it
was before using the vehicle again.
• When parking, make sure that the go-kart cannot run away, by parking it with
the steering pointing left or right, for example.
